Since i have been seeing a thread about restoration/recovery mode issues, i thought that i might as well address the issue in a thread instead of trying to reply to all of them, because theres a bunch. this is a solution ive found to work:
Go into your iTunes host file on your computer and delete the 2 lines that say "gs.apple.com" at the end. if you dont know how to do that or what that is, this is how you get to that file the easiest way- (on a mac* sorry if you have a PC), google on how to get to it on a PC, there plenty of sites that show you how.
minimize all windows so that your menu bar says "finder" up in the left hand corner next to the apple emblem, click "go" then "go to folder" then type in "/private" in the box. then click "etc" then scroll down to the file that says "hosts" in there, the last 2 lines should be "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" and
"#127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" if you havent modified it. now **before** you delete these, i suggest copying them and saving them in a word doc just in case you need them in the future for whatever reason. but to fix your problem just delete those two lines and try restoring again.
hope this helps
