If you are getting error (1) or error (6) while downgrading the firmware, you need to put your iPhone in DFU mode before you can restore or downgrade the firmware.
Step 1. Turn off your iPhone.
Step 2. Hold down the power and home button.
Step 3. When you see the Apple logo, release the power button but continue holding the home button down.
Step 4. Open iTunes and wait for it to tell you that its in restore mode.
Alternative Method:
Step 1. Connect iphone to USB then listen to the sound when it connect and disconnect.
Step 2. Hold the home and power buttons until hear the disconnect sound then release power button.
Step 3. Wait until you hear another sound then release home button.
Alternate Method: Going Into DFU Mode Without Button Pushing: (on windows) Easier than timing the buttons just right!
1.) First download the required archive http://www.sendspace.com/file/93fx93
2.) Extract the archive to the root of your hard drive, should be C:/DFU/
3.) Connect your iPhone and ignore iTunes
4.) Goto Start – run
5.) Next type in “c:/dfu/dfu iBSS.m68ap.RELEASE.dfu”
6.) Wait for iPhone to show a “white” screen
7.) Now you may proceed to downgrade!
**also these files are found in ibrickr’s directory except for the .dfu file**

If I want to restore from 1.1.2, do I have to jailbreak and unlock again?
you will need to restore to 1.1.1 jailbreakme.com. Run oktoprep and update to 1.1.2. You will not news to unlock again as your 1.1.2 baseband is already unlocked and stays unlocked if you downgrade. Then you will ha e to run the 1.1.2 jailbreak again
okay, and i noticed that you added a rogers carrier logo in Installer. I installed it, went in Customize, selected the rogers logo but I still see the original logo in the top left corner

Hi, I have done all the types of DFU modes, timing, connecting and disconnecting, Without Button Puhing, etc. And when I’m downgrading I still get the error 1 in iTunes… NEED LOTS OF HELP!!!
UPDATE
also, did it with itunes 7.6, 7.5, 7.4.3, 7.4 and nothing
same here… anybody?
I bricked my IPhone, now when I am connecting the USB cable to it, Itunes gives me error message that “This IPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the installer to remove I tunes and then install I tunes again.” when I look into my IPhone general settings> about there is nothing in IMEI, ICCID, Modem Firmware fields. Also when I turn on my IPhone it gives me error message that can not receive and make calls call apple tech support.
Any suggestion please.
RAAG, upgrade your iphone to 1.1.3 by holding the power button and the home button until you get the itunes logo and the cable restore to 1.1.3 if it works your are done if not
GOOD LUCK

When i am trying to restore my new firmware to my iphone suddenly my computer power is lost, from then my iphone is not going to menu or DFU mode also what i have to doo now 🙁 🙁
dude, DFU is different from Recovery Mode. Your download only puts the iphone into recovery mode. DFU mode is when you HAVE to restore the phone… (that’s how you should flash the phone if you get the error 6 with custom ipsw)
if you happen to have a 2.0 phone or 2.0.2 or 2.0.1 you need to look for the iTunesMobileDevice.dll that’s newer than the one packaged with the zip provided. the DLL file should be under c:\program files\common files\apple\mobile device support\bin . That’s the only way DFU.exe will do anything to a 2.0 iphone. Otherwise it won’t detect the iphone. Now the problem is, the tools stops half way. It says s_looking for iPhone
it finds it, the phone restarts after posting the wheel thing… and it goes into RECOVERY MODE (the itunes icon and the usb cable).
and then it fails on the next step (some damn error I don’t even know of) which is:
s_Sending boot files
So I’m guessing it’s failing. Because the screen is not simply black + itunes is able to see it.
If I try the key sequence … it will NEVER EVER work. NO matter what I do, the damn key combo doesn’t work. I’m pissed at that, I tried it so many times … i’ve had it. Nothing will take the iphone 2.0 into DFU mode. NOTHING.
