Iphone could not be restored!

Hi

I'm attempting my 1st jailbreak and am failing badly!

I have downloaded the pwnage restore file and have left clicked and chose Restore in iTunes - then browsed to the file I downloaded.

However, after about 10 minutes I get an error saying "The iphone XXX could not be restored. An unknown error occured (1015).

Am I doin something stupid? Any help would be appreciated!

Regards

What iPhone are you using? If it is the new 3GS you need to use the Blackra1n tool.
