briked iphone need desperate help!!!
:( hi guys:
last night i tried to hw unlock my iphone with zero success. i had 1.1.2otb downgraded and jailbroken 1.1.1 firmware so i just downloaded instaled subsystem,vterminal& baseband downgrade (failed i guess cuase i got a"main screipt execution failed" message) from installer,lost wifi, then i tried to open the backpanel to start with hw unlock but after a couple of hours of tryin i got scared of damaging the iph and desided to back off. so after that i close my phone and got no imei .
i though that restoring the phone to 1.1.2fw will fix the problem but nothing happened and worst! now i had no phone function at all i was stock at the activation screen and the call button wont respond at all so i could.t try to jailbreak, then i restore to 1.1.1 with the same problem ,now, tried to restore with iphuc and nothin works,then i tried restoring to 1.0.1 and get an error(1).
so then i tried downgrading itunen to 7.3 and try with that and nothin/ then i tried restoring to 1.0.1 putting my phone in dfu mode and seems to start restoring but after a minut or so the phone stays blak with the apple logo and the prosecing ikon and itunes says waitting for iphone and thats it!! noting happen after that the phone wont turn off or return to activation screen nor restore mode:confused:

i don't know what to do now!!!!

you have to install virginizer files manually using iBrickr. Dont forget to install BSD subsystem and a terminal too

Just in case: do all the HW unlock with the iPhone connected to the charger. Use sleep 20;iunew command or your girlfriend's finger to hit RETURN (this works for me;))

The only way you can get back your wifi etc is to upgrade to 113. But remember that you cannot h/w unlock it once you upgrade to 113, and the s/w unlock for 113 will be much farther than that of 112.

BTW, why did you download "baseband downgrader". You should have downloaded "bootloader downgrade". That is your mistake. "baseband downgrader" will start executing after downloading. It will erase your baseband and will leave it in a messed up state. That is why you loose your wifi etc. You know what ? You are not the only person on earth to do this. I also did this stupid mistake :-)

Here is my partial blog at http://gadgetsandyou.blogspot.com on how to solve this. I still have to finish the blog to explain the full process, but it has the necessary steps to downgrade to 1.0.2 and activate it. The remaining steps are availble over the web. You can try it if you want.
