I keep getting the Error 1015 when trying to restore

I purchased a 2nd hand iPhone 3G and I read to fix the problem of it being stuck on the Apple logo to do a restore. Well, everything was fine and now it won't restore and I get 1015 error. What should i do?

1015 error: There are 4 possible causes of this error:


The activation server truly is unavailable. Rare, usually fixed within minutes.

Your antivirus or firewall or router's firewall is blocking access to

gs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.

Your iPhone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

The computer you connected to during the restore/update was

used to hack/jailbreak some other iOS device, and its

network database was corrupted during the process.
