[oglock]

Sup everyone im having a problem restoring my iphone back to 4.2.1

i either get error 1013 or it freezes. im sure its something to do with the host file but how can ir restore this back to normal? heres what my hostfile looks lie


##
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

Are you using tinyumbrella to preserve an old baseband when you do the restore?

Your HOSTS-file looks like a pimpled teen face Remove these lines entirely:

255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost
#74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

I've seen 1013 a number of times and no matter what I did a change of computer always did the trick.

sorry, couldn't resist....

reboot after modifying and saving the host file

There is nothing wrong with the host file you show in your display. The 74 entry for cydia is commented out correctly and the 127 goes to local host which will get you to apple. The only two lines that are not needed and may cause a problem are

shown below.

::1 localhost
fe80::1%lo0 localhost

I agree that your symptoms seem to point to a host file issue but probably not in this case.

What type of phone do you have. If you have a 3GS with the 6.15 baseband that might explain your problem.

I was having the same 1013 error while updating to stock 4.2.1. I actually called Apple about it and they said my phone was broken and to take it to an Apple store. I tried restoring the phone on a different computer and it worked like a charm. If you have access to a different computer, I would try that.

I had the same issue, fixed the lmhost file back to original and it worked. You can also try a different PC and see if you still get the error. Good luck.

is there anyway to restore the host file back to default?

127.0.0.1	localhost
255.255.255.255	broadcasthost

fe80::1%lo0	localhost

By seeing the above I conclude that OS X default HOSTS-file is pimpled... by default... =)

I would like to know the answer to this as well

Open up the HOSTS-file on your 'puter as Administrator, copy the content I've posted above and paste in to the file (replacing anything that was there before). Save the file.

Simple as that

Everytime I try to restore with a JB iPhone 4 I get this error, and everytime I just go to the apple store and they restore it and hand it back to me within the next 10 minutes
