I Get that every time I try to restore my 3GS 6.1.6 it's factory unlocked so I been trying to restore the phone but it's frustrating getting that error. I'm using iTunes 11.2.1 (1) just in case you guys need to know.

If the phone was previously jailbroken, that is a common cause for this issue.

Define "Factory Unlocked". Apple does not use that term at all in reference to iPhones.

The last step is to try the restore on a different computer. Did you do that? What was the result?

What's not working? The Internet you were leeching from your neighbors?

If you can't try another machine, just make an appointment at the genius bar and take it in for them to look at. They should be able to do s DFU mode restore assuming there isn't a hardware problem with it. If there is a physical problem with the phone, they should be able to replace it for $149.

Whatever. Without Internet access, you can't do anything at all.
