Hello everyone,
I recently broke my 3gs so i bought an iphone 4 yesterday. I restored it from a 3gs backup. Once everything was synced i decided to download 4.3.3 (it came with 4.3.) After it downloaded the file it says

"The iphone could not be updated. This device isn't eligible for the requested build."

I made sure everything was up to date on my computer software wise. This has been going on since yesterday. Does anyone know what i can do? I am afraid i will have to start fresh on my phone, which i do not want.

Thanks
 
hmmm... what carrier is the iphone 4 on? I know verizon doesnt have that version of firmware available yet. not sure what your running
 
Seems that you've manually downloaded the wrong version of firmware.

Let iTunes download it.
 
I have at AT&T iphone.

I did have tiny upbrella and I just deleted it and restarted...same problem.

I let itunes download 4.3.3. is there a way to have itunes re download it?

EDIT: I deleted the 4.3.3 and am redownloading. hope this works
