Error 2005 After DFU



Here is solution to:
3194 - start and stop TU should solve this one
1600 - this one could be related to firewalls as well, so close all
2005 - this one could be ralted to USB port so switch USB port, its also related to hosts, TU should solve this one.
11 - this one, was solved with new custom 5.01, and downloading all SHSH and steps 2 - 4

All that I got while trying to do 4.3.3 to 5.01

Step by step how to avoid all at once, maybe some steps are not needed but I'm sure it will work like this:

1. I went to DFU mode run redsn0w then made Custom from 5.01 ! I got No_BB one.
2. Host thing got confusing to me, should I put # or not, so I started latest TU (Tiny Umbrella) and checked Save ALL Available SHSH in Advanced, Started TSS Server and stoped it. I checked SHSHs and found 5.01 there, I selected it doesn't know if that is important or not.
3. I started TU again, START TSS Server and close TU
3. ireb r4 pwned DFU
4. Itunes and restore with Shift.

Worked, all errors avoided.
