I was trying to downgrade my Iphone from 4.3.5 -> 4.3.3 using the following guide:
http://www.limera1n.cc/2011/08/downgrade-435-to-433-without-shsh-blobs.html

I was unable to get it working and since then when ever I try to restore my iPhone using iTunes to any OS (5 or 4.3.5, both signed apple iOS's) I get any error that says "This device isn't eligible for the requested build." I followed other online guides to modify the host file to prevent iTunes from checking with Apple. I had a really hard time getting this trick to work, but the one time it did I received an error #1600.

Currently the iPhone appears to be stuck in DFU mode, and when ever I try to restore it to any OS I am unable to because of the error message above. I believe the error message is related to using redsnow, Apple now knows the phone has been tampered with.

Any help would be great, whether its instructions or if it is redirection to a site where you think I may be able to get better help.

Thanks,
 
i had the same problem trying to downgrade to 4.0 just restore it on a computer or laptop u havent synced with and it should work.
