I had originally saved my SHSH blobs to cydia using redsnow 0.9.9b1 and verified them then i formatted my laptop and installed Mac OSX lion before i upgraded my iOS to 5.0. I have not enjoyed so far so today i want to downgrade to iOS 4.3.3, i got redsnow 0.9.9b1 and i queried the blobs, it shows that they are all there. then i downloaded tinyumbrella and used it to change my host to cydia and then tried to restore. somewhere towards the end of the restore i get and an Error (1) and a failure to restore and my phone is stuck in recovery mode. i read that i am supposed to expect an error and I am to use Recovery fix. i tried recovery fix with redsnow but it seems stuck "fetching required files" as shown in the attached pic. i have also tried using tiny umbrella to fix the problem but to no avail. so what do i do?

Had this happened to me before. What I did was I went ahead and jailbroke with redsn0w even with the phone in recovery loop, then use tinyumbrella to kick it out of recovery mode after jailbreak.

Hope that helps.
