Q: device not eligible for requested build


I tried to update wirelessly and it went into recovery mode. I found two gs.apple.com entries when I go into terminal: sudo nano /private/etc/hosts. Is that because I have had two iPhones? Would deleting one help? They also already have # symbol at start but no 'space' IE:  #17.151.36.30   gs.apple.com
One entry has different digits like the apple example, the second has two 0s  eg: #354.0.0.1
Thanks in advance for your time

iPhone 4, restore and update
