Your baseband will only every upgrade if self / replace it self with a clean copy in an upwards direction with itunes so downgrading with itunes wouldn't give you a clean BB only using refurb tools like eziphone will do that.

isn't a restore to 1.1.4 AFTER the downgrade to 1.1.3 considered "a clean copy in an upwards direction with itunes"?
sorry to challenge you so much, just trying to be careful
btw, just opened the tool, looks good...

Yes & No

Yes the Version 1.4 (Software) would be cleaned up, but because you have been on 1.1.4 and obtained the newest 04.04.05_G baseband and preformed the unlock on it, after you downgrade to 1.1.3 you will still have the same 04.04 BB installed

And even when you restore to 1.1.4 again itunes will do nothing to the baseband because it will consider it the correct one for 1.4 firmware your updating to.

It's hard to explain but basically software will always be cleaned in any direction but basebands will only be cleaned by itunes with a newer version.

Ok I see your point. So, a downgrade to 1.1.3 will still remain unlocked since the baseband is untouched? (it's besides to point, but I didn't know that).
Ok so should i take any precautions before running this (-r) command from eziphonetools?
After its done I just reunlock right?
If I wish, can I restore after -r and then unlock?

You don't need to take any precautions just contact the phone and run (-r)

and Yes I would prob restore after running (-r) so that I was 100% clean then I'd reunlock.
