4.3.1 Update help needed

[MarkCooz]

I was at 4.2.1 JB state earlier.
I tried to update my iPhone 4 to 4.3.1 but during the restoration process
on my iPhone the bar under the apple logo only goes halfway and is stuck there for half an hour.

what should i do??

I'm very clueless at this.
i only got an error on iTunes saying error 1013..?

that doesn't even help me...
i tried using that recovery fix. still doesn't work...

i tried updating and the bar goes halfway and gives me the error.

You are using the Apple IPSW with an ipad baseband?

Very simple. This has nothing to do with the JB. You were updating to 4.3.1 and it died? Now you need to do a restore of your phone and then you can restore your apps settings etc from your last backup.

I got the IPSW from Clarified. and well i have an iPhone 4.
so i'm guessing an iPhone 4 baseband not an iPad?

 

[MaxBurn]

Oh yeah, what TC25 said about the host file.

 

[MarkCooz]

tried doing that still not going through...
should i just update through iTunes? and not from the IPSW i got from iclarified?

Yes

 

[MarkCooz]

Yes

still stuck for a good 15 minutes... still haven't gotten an error but this is unusual...

I am having the same exact issue upgrading to 4.3.1 from 4.0.1 through iTunes. iPhone hangs during install little more than halfway through. Also no errors are being shown.

Did you change your host file?

 

[MarkCooz]

Did you change your host file?

I just put a # in front of the gs.apple

i have two gs.apple and all i did was put a # in front of it.
saved it Control+O and then Enter
Control + X

then i tried restoring it...
still doing the halfway thing.

Tried from both iTunes and the IPSW i downloaded.

Hmmm, it appears mine is doing the same thing, hanging at about 60%, did you resolve your problem?

Restored under bootcamp with no issues, syncing with my SL iTunes now.
