Error with restoring jailbroken iphone!

I didn't want my iphone to be jailbroken anymore so I tried to restore it on itunes, always on the latest version, and every time I try to restore it, itunes tells me an error after extracting and veryfying. I really need help trying to get out of the "connect to itunes" screen on my phone.

It still didn't work, it says," The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. Error 1015" Is there any other way besides going to the apple store?


Howdy,

I guess iTunes thinks your trying to downgrade your iPhone, which it will not do.

Take a look at this article -> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275
+Error 1015: This error is caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple.+


You can try searching for steps on how to do a DFU restore, but you'll likely have to find help for this problem somewhere else because Apple has an article that says you can break your iPhone by jailbreaking and discussing or troubleshooting jailbreaks likely violates the TOU here.

WTH.
