4.0.1 bricked my phone, no one is responding to my posts on the other topics, I need my phone tonight and tomorrow.. I HAVE to have it.

Someone mentioned this?
Hey I had the same problem, while beta testing 4.0 whats more so I was very worried. However, turns out you just need to uninstall itunes and some core files

If you are still unable to restore iPhone, remove iTunes by doing this:

If you are a Mac user, delete the following files:


2. /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
3. /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework



After that, restart your Mac and install the latest version of iTunes. Repeat the normal restore again.

For Windows users, uninstall Apple Mobile Device Support and iTunes from your system, restart the computer and re-install the latest version of iTunes and try to restore again.

Any other solutions?
Please and thank you

What did you before you updated your phone?
 
Update failed for me also and forced my phone into recovery mode. My first two attempts at restoring failed. I shut down itunes, rebooted my Mac, and my next attempt at a restore worked perfectly.

I'm guessing you've already attempted this, but in case you haven't, give it a shot... worked for me.

Tried it, still not working, getting error 1004
 
Make sure you're on Mac OS X. If you go to that directory, it should be there. There is nothing to do to make it "show" up.

Try a DFU mode restore.
