so here's the situation, i upgraded to ios4, which worked great. but then i switched providers and the new provider needs a jailbroken phone (telus) so i tried to do that. i hit one step in one of the jailbreaking apps that said to restore, so i tried. then i got the 1015 error, and now iphone just says "itunes" with the USB cable, and when i try and restore, i get the 1015 error.

so i'm stuck in a loop. help please?!
 
Plug the iphone cable into your computer - not into the iphone.
Hold the power and home button and as soon as it shuts off - plug the iphone into your computer.
It should let iTunes recognize it and you can restore it.
 
unfortunately that doesn't work.

i followed those steps, but when itunes tries to restore it, i get error1015 again.

If you find that you want to back down from the 4.0 until it's more useable, here's how to do it.
  1. Restore to official 3.1.2 or 3.1.3. Your baseband won't be downgraded, so you'll get error 1015 at the end of the restore.
  2. Use rslite or irecovery to get past error 1015. Using rslite, you'd do:% rslite
    rslite v0.2 - by the iPhone Dev Team, 2009.
    --THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED TOOL--

    Connecting...
    [Recovery] setenv auto-boot true
    [Recovery] saveenv
    [Recovery] reboot
Your baseband will still be at 05.13 from 4.0, but FW 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 will work fine with it. The current carrier unlocks will not.

i finally managed to restore ios4 - so i guess i'll wait a few days until someone unlocks the OS + baseband... then jailbreak so i can use the SIM from my new provider.
