Things to Try -

• If pwning put only the 4.6 BL in the image
• Uninstall and reinstall itunes
• Ensure ur running an old version of Itunes, older firmwares wont be able to be loaded when using the latest version, try fw 1.1.4 with itunes 7.5,
• Check your firmwares, ensure they are from 2g Not 3g, the way to tell is in the filename, Iphone,1***** is a 2g fw
• If your pwning an fw image, dont change the Root Partition Size too much,
• Try restoring to blank and pwned images

How did I get into this state:
Used WinPwned to create 2.0 Pwned IPSW
Used iTunes 7.7 to upload
Ran BootNeuter --> Screen lock on iPhone activated probably 1 minute when I stepped away --> realized what happened, set Autolock-Never, then BootNeuter seemed to stop. No activity on the iPhone, went back to BootNeuter and it wanted to "redetect settings". Then got the "Error: Can't talk to the bootloader... CommCenter collission" ever since.

What I've done:
Tried using WinPwn to reload 1.1.4/2.0/2.0.1 with iTunes 7.7. Get errors 1404 /20 / 4. iPhone always gets stuck in Recovery Mode
Tried iLiberty to bypass iTunes. iLiberty runs all night, times out, iPhone again stuck in recovery mode (sometimes try DFU, sometimes try to start from Recovery mode).
ZiPhone same thing.
Only thing that brings the iPhone back is QuickPwn in DFU mode.

State it's in now:
Once iPhone boots (very slowly), WiFi/Bluetooth not working. iTunes does not recognize the phone - wants to recover. Essentially every way to communicate with the phone is no-go.
BootNeuter still gives the same error.

So as QuickPwn doesn't default load BSD (can't connect to download) or BBinfo/etc, can't see if I can kill the CommService thread, which seems to be the only solution on the threads I've seen to get the phone in a state to reflash the BL.

That's what I think is the next step. But may try the iTunes 7.5 / 1.1.4 idea. My thought is that the iPhone will still get stuck in Recovery mode, unless 7.5 ignores those Errors and "forces" the FW and BL upload?

Let me know if this clarifies better. Thx all!

Once the phone boot slowly ... What firmware does it boot up to?
Even with the summary, I can't tell what you have on the phone at this point.
I have some idea but I need to know the fw residing on the phone

FW 2.0 was loaded, and used QuickPwn with 2.0.1 (because initial release of QuickPwn only used that version) to jailbreak it to its current state.

BL 4.6, and that's what I was flashing with BootNeuter. Is there a way I can double check without BBinfo (to ensure I did hit 4.6)? All I have is what's provided on the QuickPwn base load.

Thx mucho.

Did the same, and now iTunes 7.5 says it cannot recognize the iPhone unless I upgrade to 7.7! SON OF A PUPPY!

-=- Update: Didn't put phone in DFU mode first. That solves the problem. Updating now, keeping fingers crossed! -=-

Thanks to all for the help! It was indeed the solution to install iTunes 7.5 and following a_to_da_jay's instructions!!!
