I FIXED IT - but read on for your own knowledge
I WAS NOT USING THE CORRECT DFU PROCEDURE FOR 2.0,
CORRECT PROCEDURE - POWER OFF WHILE CONNETED, THEN HOME+POWER, RELEASE POWER, ENTER DFU MODE
__________________________________________________ __________
I was unlocking the phone for a frient with winpwn 2.0.0.4, successfully upgraded to 2.0.1 from 1.1.4 (this is subscribed phone) so no unlocking.
setup wifi, made calls, all good, I launched Cydia, got a message to upgrade essentials , I proceeded to do that, took about 5 minutes, the phone appeared to be stuck still in cydia. I though something got stuck so I rebooted the phone. Everything came back except now when I launched Cydia. Got the message If I am User, Expert or Hacker (those familiar with Cydia know what i'm talking about). I chose user, it would pause for 2 seconds and bring me back to springboard, I tried again, rebooted again, expert mode, hacker mode, again, same result all the time.
I though something went wrong when I cancelled Cydia update and rebooted prepaturely, so I decided to do a reset.
Settings > General > Reset >Erase all content and settings
it warned me that it will take an hour, thinking it will reflash itself. I started the process. It showed the progress bar for little over a hour completed 100%, rebooted itself, and the apple logo showed up, it vibrated twice, the just below the Apple Logo, the "wait" circle started spinning and then froze.
I let it sit for 2 hours, remained Frozen, I rebooted it , same result. I put it in Hardware DFU (Power+home) tried to recover, itunes fails with 1601 error.
I at at a loss here, is there an issue with reset with pwned 2g phones. Is this phone bricked in the middle of firware (Although i thing it went pass that, but I could be wrong). If bricked, what is the fix. Thanks you in advance.
FYI using 7.7.1.11 Itunes
