I really am stuck here, I'll try to be as descriptive as possible!

Right, my iPhone was originally on 1.0.2 firmware and unlocked and I wanted to go to 1.1.2. I used a T-Mobile PAYG SIM as this had no SIM lock, with the view to use my Orange contract SIM when unlocked. Firstly I installed 1.1.1 using iTunes and jailbreaked it to find out what bootloader I had - I have 3.9 which I heard was the good one? I then installed OKtoPrep and updated to 1.1.2. I jailbreaked this and ran anySIM to unlock the phone and it was successful. I then switched SIMs and for some reason (???) I ran anySIM again! It failed and I thought that you need the same SIM in the iPhone from start to finish (Why? I don't know. Can you tell I'm a newbie to this stuff??) So I went back to 1.1.1, then to 1.1.2 and ran anySIM again - fail.

Then I read stuff about the need to repaire the baseband in 1.0.2, something about when you unlock it corrupts the baseband and you need to put the phone into a virgin state before unlocking again.

So I went to 1.0.2 and this is where it all messed up. I'm using iBrickr to reboot it after the restore, that's working fine. Then I'm using iDemocracy 2 (with the update) to activate/unlock 1.0.2. It gets half way through the process and crashes!

Basically I'm completely stuck at the minute. I've tried installing 1.0.2, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 and now I can't jailbreak or activate any of them!

Please help! :eek:
