I currently have my iphone under pwnd DFU mode.
And when I try to restore it with Itune(version 10.4), it states "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored because the firmware file is not compatible.
I downloaded iphone4 file from "http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/" file "iPhone 4 (GSM) (4.3/8F190)".
I wanted to downgrade to 4.3.3 from 4.3.5.
Please help me~~
Thank you,

The error is correct, once Apple releases a new update the older firmware is no longer authorized to be installed on your device (if you downgrading).

Their are alternative ways to get an older firmware on your device, but I'm not to knowledgeable with that.
 
Does that mean I cannot downgrade to 4.3.3?

You can not downgrade using iTunes, but you might want to ask your question in the Jailbreak forum and someone else who knows more about this can answer your question. I believe their are some applications that might allow you to downgrade by re-directing your iTunes server to another server, thus bypassing Apple to allow the downgrade to go through.
 
I have tried to use tinyumbrella, iReb and fixing hosts and stuff but can't seem to work.
 
I got the SHSH blobs now.
I jailbroke 4.3.5 and got it.
So I am trying to restore to 4.3.3 and it keeps popping 3194 error.
If I fix 3914 problem, then I get 1013 error.
If I fix 1013 error, then I get 3914 error.
Can anyone help me please?
 
iOS 4.3.4 was just a bug fix to patch the Jailbreak vulnerability from iOS 4.3.3, and iOS 4.3.5 was to Address Securities Issues.

So pretty much .3 .4 and .5 updates are the same OS, and you said you already Jailbroke your iPhone on iOS 4.3.5, so why are you trying to downgrade?

Also, I think you need to have your SHSH blob from when you were on iOS 4.3.3, creating a SHSH blob from iOS 4.3.5 is not going to help you downgrade.

4.3.5 SHSH blobs are only good for 4.3.5 they will not work with any other firmware version, unless you have previously back up 4.3.3 blobs you are stuck with 4.3.5.
 
If you have the SHSH blobs for 4.3.3, you can downgrade easy.

Download Tinyumbrella http://thefirmwareumbrella.blogspot.com/

And that will help you kick the phone out the recovery mode. When you get that error the OS is already installed on your phone, it's just apple doesn't want you to downgrade, so the phone will stay in recovery mode. Tiny umbrella will help you. If you're still having troubles you can PM me, I'd be glad to help.
