Hey all, just got my iPhone 3GS 32GB black yesterday and on the same day it was messed up :

iPhone Generation : 3GS
Locked/Unlocked (or Part Number): Officially Unlocked
Current Firmware :3.0
iTunes Version :9
Computer Platform Windows XP
Jailbreaking software : nope
Problem Encountered : in recovery mode
Steps Had Taken (list down) : Tried to upgrade to 3.1 towards the end there were some error message popping up and straight to recovery mode, tried to do recovery at least 5 times i.e download straight from iTunes as well as using the file in one of the threads here..tried 3.0, 3.1 but all failed. I got the following message [The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error ocurred (1002)]

Appreciate if someone could help before I start going for warranty..would prefer to DIY if possible..

Thanks all.

Many thanks Snecx..at the moment I dare not do anything further.. seems quite complicated..so I just dropped it off at Machines..they tried earlier same error that I got..hopefully they can solve it
