4. Then Release The Power/Sleep Button And Continue To Hold The Home Button Until iTunes Brings Up A Message Saying Your iPhone Is In DFU Mode.

5. Click Ok Or Whatever It Is So That It Closes That Popup.

6. Hold Shift Then Click Restore.

7.Then Make sure You Have Downloaded the ISPW Firmware. Called:
