If he hasn't saved the SHSH for 4.3.3, he won't be able to downgrade to 4.3.3. So OP's only option is 4.3.5.
Look on the net for the host file fix on this. Edit in terminal, and try again. Bet this is your issue.
Option restore to the OS you want: hopefully that may assist you- not sure about the signing of the .3 version so The above posters may also be accurate.

but i have no problem getting to DFU mode.. i have the iTunes cable image on the screen,
thats what i am at now... i have a blackscreen. It is in DFU mode. IF you have an instant messenger or skype it would be awesome if i could get some help mate
Its in DFU mode and when i click restore...it comes up with the eligible error message again.
Download ipsw for 4.3.5 then option click restore in iTunes and choose the ipsw you downloaded.
k check these steps:
1) iPhone in DFU mode
2) iTunes ( NOT BETA). plug iPhone in
3) option click ispw file for 4.3.5
Those are the steps. Man I had the same crap happen to me but I was always able to get it back trying various steps.
You may have to go back to iOS 5.
