hi everyone,

i had a sw unlocked iphone 1.0.2, and i have virginized it, and updated it to 1.1.1.
But all the methods for jailbraking it are not working..
i went to http://jailbrake.*something*.com but my browser didn't froze, i could browse the whole site.
so i wanted to downgrade to 1.0.2, and just forget about 1.1.1, but it won't downgrade anymore..
if i hold the power + home button for 10 seconds, and then release only the powerbutton.
it will say please connect to itunes, and when i hold shift and click on restore..and select the 1.0.2 version.. it says: can't restore because of a unknown error[1].
i tried itunes the newest itunes version, and a old one.. but no luck

can someone please tell me what to do?

EDIT:
i can restore 1.1.1, but 1.0.2 is impossible

Try using independence to go in DFU mode.

i really think that would be the answer.. but i'm on windows.. i don't know anyone with mac!
thanks for replying

I think there are also some win apps out there that do the same. Have a pc, but that is only for having it I use mac all the time, so i'm not sure if there is anything out there that does the same.

IBrikr will work for you mate - did exactly the same thing myself last night... plug in the iphone to the usb dock and follow the prompts on IBrikr to restore to 1.0.2 - if you want to stay on 1.0.2 it will also do the jailbreak for you so you can use anysim to unlock :-)

If you want you can then try the upgrade attempt again (mine worked the 2nd time round)

Shout if you get stuck mate - I know the frustration well!

bob! thank you so much!!
it worked!
can i just install 1.1.1 again? or should i do the whole virginizing process again?

Same happened to me, I restarted and used iBrickr. You can install 1.1.1 fresh again and follow the ULTIMATE guide to activatae/JB/unlock.

Make sure you spell "jailbreak" properly when you visit the site in the first step before starting touchfree.

downgrade to 1.0.2 in itunes, then ierase the bb then reflash ... search for instructions ... worked for me.
