Iphone 4 Stuck in Recovery, Please help

Hey guys, I keep trying to restore my iphone 4 but it never completes, it just keeps flashing up:
the iphone "iphone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).
And i cannot get out of recovery mode now!
Please help i don't know how i can get out of it, I have made a genius bar appointment but the first available time is Sunday
I have tried all sorts of things, putting it into dfu mode, general recovery mode, uninstalled itunes, reinstalled itunes, tried it on my mac and pc.
Everything i can think of but it just wont start
Thanks
Craig

Ok lets try this on your Mac:
Find and delete any and all .ipsw files on your Mac, there should only be one, but delete ALL that you find. It should be located here:
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
Once that's done, reboot your Mac & launch itunes then, see if you can force the phone into recovery mode, reset first as I described earlier:
Turn your phone off(if you can), if not try to reset: Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release. Then, leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. In your case, select "new".
