Some guy sold me one of these and now i can't even upgrade to 3.0.1 or re-arrange my icons on the screen, can anyone help me out with either flashing it with a hacked firmware without using iTunes because i get an error saying this model is not eligible for this build or something like that. Any help would be appreciated!
Got a tip for us?

I think you are SOL.
You have to use iTunes to get the firmware on the device, I don't believe there are any ways around that.
Maybe you downloaded a wrong firmware version. Download it through iTunes with the phone plugged in, once it starts downloading, remove it and then use pwnage tool to make a custom package.

You don;t need to keep it at a specific "firmware" like 3.0, you need to keep it at a specific "baseband" like 4.27.00 (I think). There is a HUGE difference between the two.
There are numerous guides around but again, if iTunes is rejecting the firmware from the device because it says they are incompatible, that is another issue.
