Well I've been searching around for the better part of a day, but I can't find any info that specifically deals with my issue.

Background:
Phone (4gb) was originally activated/unlocked using iNdependence, cyberduck, lockdownd, etc. Worked beautifully with T-Mobile. Then........I dropped my phone into some water. Sent it into iResQ, and they replaced the logic board. My IMEI number no longer matches the one on the box. I can activate and jailbreak it via iNdependence, and my firmware is 1.0.2, modem is 03.14.08_G. However, I hadn't unlocked it, and that's where the problem starts.

Running AppTapp results in the bootstrap error. I've tried three different versions of iTunes: 7.4, 7.4.1, and 7.4.2. All three versions give me the error. I can restore in iTunes every time with the 1.0.2 firmware file.

My question is this: since I don't know the exact background of this new logic board, what are my options? Upgrade to 1.1.1? Revirginize? Find something better to do on a Saturday night?

On the plus side, my phone now says it has 8gb of capacity, which would be sweet if it's legit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Well I think I figured out what was causing my problems with AppTapp. The other day I foolishly downloaded iTunes 7.5. I reinstalled the earlier versions, but something must have changed that wrecked AppTapp. I tried installing AppTapp on my parent's Mini, which still have 7.4.2, and it worked perfectly. So now I'm set up like I should be.

I still have to read up on 1.1.1 though, and the best way to get that installed.
