Then restart iTunes.
The reason being is that 4.1 is no longer 'signed' by apple only 4.2 and the 4.2b3 is currently (to prevent things like this I'm sure).
tinyumbrella will run and change the location of gs.apple.com to point to your local machine, then it will sign the firmware for you and let you and proceed with the restore without upgrading to 4.2
Ok I used tiny umbrella and I didnt get the 3914 code, but after a few minutes of installing I then got error 1600.
Dazex - The unit says 4.1.1 when I check and I downloaded the ios 4.1.1.
So is my unit actually a ios 4.2.1.
Thanks Gav
EDIT- looks like it not done it much good. Even after removing the power and plugging in, the led just flashes and it doest boot up.
Do I go on itunes and download 4.2.1 and wait until there is a windows jailbreak.

Brand new Apple TV. Followed the guide on the first page exactly. Reinstalled iTunes and made sure the helper was running. Still got an error 1601 when restoring. This is bullshit

Go into device manager and uninstall the device and drivers.. then uninstall itunes.. reinstall itunes and plug the device in..
only thing i can think of..
oh ya try a different usb port... Wish i could help more but not much i can do more then talk you thru the process we already posted

CASHMON3Y,
According to this detailed post, the error at the end of the restore seems normal. So you may be ready to go to the next step, which is the tethered boot of the ATV2 into the Jailbroken state. Give it a try and see if your ATV2 successfully boots up and let us know.

Heres the log iTunes made about my restore if you want to take a look at it. Everything looks like it went swell, it even said success, then its just like eh error 1601.

4.1.1 is 4.2.1 you'll need to tethered boot it. Bit confusing but that's apple for you

gavjbrown,
Yes, I think your ATV2 was already on iOS 4.2.1 and you tried to jailbreak it with the incorrect iOS 4.1.
So to clean it up, try connecting to the computer and letting iTunes do a regular restore of 4.2.1 to it. Then follow the directions on the first page to jailbreak your ATV2 with Windows.
If iTunes doesn't want to restore your ATV2 because it's in some weird state. Try following the directions to put your ATV2 into DFU mode. Once iTunes detect your ATV2 in DFU mode, it'll prompt your to restore the firmware to it.
Good luck and report back how it goes.

If that is the case, then it must not have jailbroken properly if you are able to boot into the LowTide interface without having to do a tethered boot.
Weird. Don't give up hope though.
I'll try to do a jailbreak of my ATV2 completely from within windows to see what's going on.
