I've gotten this same error, done the searching, and found the same conclusion.
It does not seem to work at all, unless there's some subtle step I'm just missing.
On Lion, Windows 7 in Parallels, and then booted into 7, I get this error no matter what, whether I manually edit the hosts or enable the box in TinyUmbrella or restart the computer or re-DFU the iPad/iPhone 4 or whatever.
It just doesn't work. I've read a few other reports like this, even though it seems most people have been able to upgrade to iOS 5, jailbroken or not.
So, is there another step to try?

Does your Lion hosts file have a Cydia entry in it? I think depending on how your Parallels networking is set up, the Lion hosts will override the Windows hosts
Open a Terminal.
Type:
sudo open -t /etc/hosts
Remove any lines that contain gs.apple.com or 127.0.0.1
Save and Quit

I've never read anything about changing the 127/localhost address, which was in the Lion host (in Windows 7 it was already hashed out), but even after deleting it, no luck.
I also tried restoring while booted in Windows, with the two gs.apple.com addresses hashed-out / not there, but that doesn't work either.

yes I had done research on forums and didnt see any of this, HOWEVER after trying it again it still gives same error... anyone get it to work?
Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.
SHOULD be in your hosts file
Something that looks like either one of these should not be, either on Lion or Windows. The error you are describing ONLY occurs when it is, so there is something missing somewhere.
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhostSHOULD be in your hosts file
Code:
127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.comSomething that looks like either one of these should not be, either on Lion or Windows. The error you are describing ONLY occurs when it is, so there is something missing somewhere.
Try a respring/reboot.
If you're selecting Cydia and it immediately goes away I suspect that you are on a tethered jailbreak, though. That is classic "need to be booted into a jailbroken state" behavior

that doesnt make sense, in untethered because I can reboot without having to run software on my computer to get out of recovery mode..
secondly yes I did reboot...
Finally I am trying to install custom packages in sn0wbreeze, but they dont appear on the springboard after restore... anyone know why not or how to fix the cydia issue if you cant install a ssh terminal or anything from cydia?
First: how did you get it working?! Did you do anything, or did it just go through the process for some reason?
Second: To get Cydia to work, you need to use iBooty (or whatever other tethered-boot apps there might be for Windows).
I finally upgraded my iPhone 4 to b5 from b4 out of fear of expiration (I'm not sure when it is for b4), and once it booted up I tried iBooks — which worked! But Cydia, Safari, YouTube didn't... To get jailbreak access, as iFiend said, you have to boot tethered even if the phone will boot by itself.
I'm afraid I can't help you with custom packages though.
