I bought an iPhone 3G off eBay and it's stuck in Recovery. When I try to restore, it gives me error 1015. I have no idea what firmware it has or anything. I use a Mac with Snow Leopard. What can I do?
Got a tip for us?

Yea, but I don't know what firmware or IOS version it haz
I already tried pwnd DFU mode with RedSn0w 0.9.8b3. I also tried Tiny Umbrella 5.10 and set my hosts to Cydia. I even manually edited the hosts file. It now reads:
Thanks.
- I deleted the lines
- put the iPhone in pwned DFU mode
- relaunched iTunes and tried to restore.
- After 5 minutes, iTunes got stuck on Restoring iPhone Firmware and crashed with error 1015

I just had the same issues. Fixed it myself using the same method but on the last line. It needed the hash symbol. I had error 1, 11, 1604 etc. Spent hrs on it. lol
