Error 3014 (or other numbers) Fix.  Read this and cure the pain!

I kept getting iTunes error 3014 right at the end of the firmware installation on the phone, so I spent hours troubleshooting using what I found on Apple's site and on the web.
The last thing I tried, and the ultimate solution for me was to go into the hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts-open with Notepad) and delete the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com IP address-Saurik's server (IIRC, added to enable restore of 3GS after jailbreaking).
I thought I'd have to hunt down another gs.apple.com IP address and write it in place of Saurik's IP address, or that iTunes would write it, but neither occurred, and my iPhone 4 restored to new without a problem after deleting that IP address and saving the file.

I'm getting the same error message and my Iphone 4 is not working at all. I went through many web sites (including apple)but I couldn't find an answer yet. Can anyone help us? I already tried to use 2 different computers. First I got the error 1004 and now the 3014.
Thanks in advance
