Step 1: Close iTunes or any other application.

Step 4: Now launch iTunes and restore to iOS 4.1, by Clicking on the iPhone icon on the left sidebar of iTunes then hold left “alt” button (“Shift” button on Windows) on the keyboard and then click on “Restore” then release the alt button, now point it to the iOS 4.1 firmware
