Basically I unlocked/activated/jailbroke my iphone and now want to restore it back to its original state or as close as I can come to it. Long story. Anyone, please tell me the proper steps. Not sure how to do it properly. Thanks.
 
The only way to do it is using BootNeuter.

First make sure you screenlock is set to NEVER!

On your jailbreaked phone - start installer and:

Add http://scape-server.org/iphone to the sources in installer.

Then look under tools for BootNeuter.

Install BootNeuter.

Exit installer.

Click on BootNeuter.

It will detect your current settings.

If your phone was 1.1.2 firmware or newer then you need to go back to bootloader 4.6.

Select the 4.6 bootloader then:

Make sure that: Neuter, FakeBlank and Unlock are all OFF.

Then press flash.

DO NOT INTERUPT THE PROCESS OR YOU WILL BREAK YOUR PHONE.

DON'T Click on Home or Restore or anything.

It will take between 5-10 minutes.

When it has finished exit BootNeuter.

Connect to iTunes and RESTORE TO 1.1.4.

set up the phone as NEW. DO not restore from a previous backup!

Then activate using iTunes if your on an official contract.

*It may not ask you to set the phone up until after activation and if you don't activate it then it may not ask at all*

Thats how you do it! Good Luck!
 
Thanks for that, let me tell you what I got though.

Error:
The bootloader flash succeeded but the baseband flash failed (Error-3328)

What now?
 
BootNeuter Error 3328

OTB 1.1.2
Running 1.1.4
Baseband 04.04.05_G
AT&T Subscriber

ZiPhone downgraded my bootloader to 3.9 so i used bootneuter and Flashing the Bootloader worked fine but flashing the baseband failed i got error 3328 http://images.macrumors.com/vb/images/smilies/confused.gif

What does that mean??

BTW everything is working fine but i want to restore in itunes is it safe
 
You don't need to reflash your bootloader to restore in iTunes.

Your problem however could be lots of different things including ZiPhone messing up your phone so you can't flash it ever again.

If it works I would leave it how it is - its still unlocked so don't worry.
 
no unlocking...

After having run iLiberty+ on a 1.1.4 firmware, my phone does not show the carrier nor does it show edge... (sim is introduced of course).
I tried so many methods before! And everytime a small step failes. iLiberty+ has worked as a charm - only the last step is really making me sad: where is my network??
I first restored a "clean" 1.1.4 firmware and then launched iLiberty+. The "Unlock with 3.9FB" is not really clear for me...

Any help would be welcomed!
As I am currently traveling and need contact to the outer-world in case of emergency...

Here's the last part of the log, when I tried to check "Unlock with 3.9FB":

edit:
I finally found a solution with "ZiPhoneOSX patched by kIREmK 04.05.04_G [En].app" .
