Ok guys....this is the second time now that this has happened. I'm currently running 4.3.3 on my iPhone 4 and I've jailbroken using redsn0w. My iOS has gotten a little shaky the past few days and I decided to restore with the impending release of iOS5 tomorrow. Well, when I go to restore my iPhone hangs up as well as iTunes and leaves my phone unusable. If I remove my phone it's stuck in the "connect to iTunes" screen. Any idea what I need to do? I took it to the apple store the last time this happened and they restored it NO PROBLEM. I'm confused.

You can either use tinyumbrella to kick your iphone out of recovery, which night work, or you can restore with a different computer.
If you edited your hosts file to block itunes from communicating with Apple's servers before, it might be the cause.
