Please help! Upgrade 1.0.2 -> 1.1.1 / Now it's stucked in recovery mode!

Hi!
I tried to "free" (not to unlock!) my iPhone (UK 1.1.2) by using iDemocracy 2.01.
First I downgraded to 1.0.2, than I did what the iDemocracy guide said.
At 1.0.2 the phone was activated und jailbroken. Wifi & everything worked fine.
Than I restored it to 1.1.1 (shift + restore) because iTunes suggested to update to 1.1.2.
The iDemocracy guide said: "if you can't update to 1.1.1 because of 1.1.2, go to the Introduction step and follow the steps there". I thought that the "introduction" is like the downgrade to 1.0.2 (shift + restore + select 1.1.1 image). But it seems that this wasn't the right way! At the end of this restore iTunes gave me an error, my phone restarted and iTunes said that my phone is in recovery mode.
The display shows only iTunes logo + USB cable.
If i try to restore it to 1.0.2 I get an "unknown error (1)" after some seconds and if I try to restore 1.1.1 iTunes gives me an error (1015) after working some minutes.

What should I do? How can I restore it?
I'm a newbie at all this iPhone hacking and I really don't know what to do now?
Please help me :confused: :confused:

I had the same thing happen to me, but dont despair.

When you ge tthe error going to 1.1.1 ignore it. Do the restore again for 1.1.1 and then it should work for you. I ha dthe same problem and worked out that it needed restoring twice.

You can then jailbrake using the *#307# method that i found easiest.

same thing happened to me when i was downgrading from 1.1.2 to 1.1.1 it got stuck with error 1015. I just closed itunes , killed ituneshelper process and unplugged the iphone and plugged it back it a couple times. It worked eventually :D

Thanks, but unfortunately it's still in recovery mode!
I tried to restore the 1.1.1 firmware twice but at the second restore I get "error 2003" after some minutes. At the third restore it says "error 1015" again.
I also tried to kill the iTunesHelper.exe and plug it in a couples of times, but there is no difference. It still says error (1015) at restoring to 1.1.1 and error (1) at a restore to 1.0.2.

Do you guys have some more tips? It's still stucked in recovery mode!
Pleeease help :confused:

OK dohdoh listen: once you've restored it to 1.1.1 you've got 1015 error...tht's ok.
then close itunes and launch ibrickr 0.91, it will ask you if you want to start to downgrade to 1.0.2 or if you want to boot your phone: choose the second!!! wait 30 seconds and your phone will be out of recovery mode forever and ready for jailbreak!!!

Bye
