Ok, so I used the Pwnage tool and went into expert mode in order to get rid of the pinneaple logo.

I accidentally downloaded the bootneuter tool and now the phone is unlocked and doesnt get service. I have legit AT&T service. What can I do to get it back?

Also, how could I just restore the iPhone to the out of the box condition? Im starting to think I dont want 3rd party apps and just want it back to how it was. How would I do that?

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE
 
if its working ok the way it is now, just plug it into iTunes and do a restore..it'll put the latest firmware on it and re-lock it the way it was when you first bought it..thats what i did..i used the pwnage tool and after about a week and a half i went back to apples official firmware..just restore it
 
3G or 1G iPhone?

Enter DFU Mode and press Restore. I left Bootneuter checked and I didn't have service. Then I just Pwned again from scratch. That was on a 3G.

OK, so first I restored from my latest backup and It just added all my apps and data but kept the phone pwned with installer and no service.

I then restored as "new iphone" and it worked and now I have service again. Now im gonna try restoring from my latest backup.

Out of curiosity, if I go into expert mode to pwn the phone, what do I need to do to basically get the same exact set up as simple mode, just minus the pinneaple logo? obviously I need to do something to keep bootneuter off of there and I dont want to screw it up again if I try

i have no idea..i dont know much about jailbreaking the iphone..i did it but i went back to official apple firmware for security and stability purposes..i restored it completely as a new phone..i didnt restore it from a backup
 
well I got it figured out, if you restore as a new iphone it takes care of it all. thanks again for the quick replies.
