iOS 6 update/recovery mode HELP!?

I downloaded the new IOS 6 on my Iphone 4 and it restarts and then comes up with a itunes icon with a usb below it. So I plug my phone in the computer and itunes pops up and then it says " Your phone could not be updated because it is in recovery mode and then it says to recover it below but I dont remember when I recovered it last so now my phone is frozen!! What do I do?

Upgrade iTunes to the latest version available and reboot your computer

Download the iPhone Firmware ios 6 manually

Hard rebooted the iPhone (press and hold both home and the power button until an Apple logo appears)

Popp the sim card out

Connected the iPhone to your computer and when iTunes is telling it has detected a device requiring a recovery option click restore and select the downloaded firmware

When the iPhone rebooted having successfully applied the firmware re-inserted the sim card, wait for the iPhone to tell you it was activated


I hope this will help you.
