sorry i thought i was replying to all your emails but i think there were going nowhere.

i ended up reformatting. i restored the phone to 1.0.1 i used ziphone to unlock and activate worked first try.

it sucks to have to reformat and loose everything on the phone but whatever it works now. good luck.

Had the same problem with a 1.0.2 iPhone. Fixed it by putting the iPhone in recovery mode. INdependence could NOT put it in recovery mode. So I did it with this procedure: To do this please hold down both the Sleep/Wake for 3 seconds. A power slider will appear. Slide it to the right to power down the iPhone. Then keeping ONLY the Home button pressed, connect the iPhone to the dock. Keep the home button pressed until you see the iTunes logo and cable on the screen. I had downloaded the 1.1.3 firmware file already. When I relaunched iTunes it would ask to restore the iPhone. Click Restore with the Option key pressed. You will then get in to a file opening dialogue where you navigate to the COMPRESSED firmware restore file (ending with .ipsw). iTunes installs the 1.1.3 firware (takes a few minutes). After that, quit iTunes and launch INdependence 1.4.b5. Worked perfectly! Could probably work as good with 1.1.4 firmware but I didn't succeed when I tried that, maybe because I didn't have any reference on how to name the file correctly.
