************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
If you get error 1015 or w.e follow this will work 1000%
I was getting error everytime and recovery mode nothing was working at all so i took the time to read a lot of info you simply need to

What I ended up having to do was go to dev team blog
and
1.Download pwnage tool
2.ran pwnage tool
3.selected my iphone model (3g
4.pwnage tool found my firmware for my iphone
5.pwnage tool suggested download that fw
6.pwnage tool created a custom isp fw for my 3g
7.installed the new fw for my 3g and it did the whole install thing usuall.
8.Pineapple on screen and it worked! no more 1015 error finally worked for me!!!!!!

I've never seen so much obvious lack of trying in a single post. You didn't use Google AT ALL, because these questions have been asked and answered HUNDREDS of times. I know the answers to your questions, but I also know people like you don't understand when people like me talk, so I'll let you do your own work.

I tried to restore to the same fw i was on 4.1 but it didnt work I read that I should try 4.2.1.8 that didnt work as well, so now i just tried to restore from itunes and nothing same error after trying to just restore it back to itunes.

I just need the phone to work at this point and not get this error anymore, but seems like every time i restore it software loads than it goes straight to usb cable and itunes symbol.

I have done these steps and get the results listed

Connect the device to my laptop via the USB port.
Open 'Redsn0w". (win_0.9.6b5)
Select custom ISPW - iPhone4.1_Restore
Go through 3 step (holding off and home buttons in sequence) process to put device into DFU mode
Allow redsn0w to complete
See lots of program lanuguage on the device.
Opens screen with "pineapple" man
Goes through...."flashing NOR, Installing bundles, Activating, Flashing baseband (don't interrupt)
Screen changes to "Apple" logo
Open Itunes
Shift "click" restore and choose same custom ISPW as in redsn0w.
When I do this process...it all seems to work well until the end ("veryfing sotware and the barber poll and then back to restoring firmware show in the progress window of Itunes) and then get the 1015 error message.
Device goes back to the screen with the USB cable and Itunes logo showing.

1.Download pwnage tool
2.ran pwnage tool
3.selected my iphone model (3g
4.pwnage tool found my firmware for my iphone
5.pwnage tool suggested download that fw
6.pwnage tool created a custom isp fw for my 3g
7.installed the new fw for my 3g and it did the whole install thing usuall.
8.Pineapple on screen and it worked! no more 1015 error finally worked for me!!!!!!

SO now
I see cydia installed, but I dont see my carrier in the service bar, so what do I do to fix this problem?
I not sure of my next step.
I plan to use this with t-mobile and a att gophone account.

Last time I unlocked and jailbroke I could not send pictures with tmobile for soem reason.

So could somone shed some light on what to do next thank you.
And the best way to find info is to read I see that now, but i need my phone for later and dont have time thanks again.
