Phew … i feel much better now. After almost 2 hours toying around with Winpwn, worrying my phone ends up a brick, i finally can bypass the 1601 error when restoring the custom firmware. FYI i followed the guide on theiphoneproject and used winpwn 2.0.0.3.
If you can create the firmware but have trouble installing it, try to:
- Restore your phone to normal mode
- Turned it off (hold the sleep/wake button for about 3-5 seconds)
- Connect it to your computer then press and hold the home button immediately when the cable is plugged in
- The phone is now in restoration mode (you will have a iTunes icon and a cable on your phone’s display)
- Try to install the new firmware. If it doesn’t work follow step 6
- With the phone is still in restoration mode and connected, turn it to DFU mode
- Try to install the new firmware again. If it works, then congratulation, you will only need to wait about 10 minutes for restoring the new firmware. Otherwise goodluck on your google quest

Also, be sure to use an iPhone cable for any restore! An older iPod cable, while they work for all other purposes, will sometimes generate 1600, 1601, and 1602 errors!!
