WARNING: Do Not Use Refurb. 1.1.4 to 2.0 brick fix
Do not try to use the refurbish option in Ziphone to get ready for the 2.0 firmware....
If you are like me you said Installer.app has really just slowed my phone down, and there is not much I would miss with it gone.
I hit refurb, it did its thing and then my phone reboots.... In recovery mode....
So I plug in it again and iTunes 7.7 tells me I must restore the iphone because its in recovery mode... all good contacts will be backed up etc. with the 2.0 firmware back on a stock phone.
WRONG.
I was in an endless cycle of failing installations. 4+ hours I even tried DFU mode on the 2.0, 1.1.4, and 1.1.3 firmwares... all error 1611 or 1603s.
Finally I tried uninstalling itunes and downgraded to 7.6 OG. Rename your Lib. files in your music folder with BACKUP at the end so iTunes will start...
I put the phone in DFU mode once again and tried a restore with the 1.1.4 firmware using iTunes 7.6 and BINGO... It worked. It came back up and all my contacts, txt msgs, etc were intact. I proceeded to install iTunes 7.7 again and update to 2.0 and all is well.... Last night I gave up thinking it was ****** lol
UPDATE: I think the failed refurb may not have had anything to do with the lock up.... I think pushing 2.0 on an unlocked 1.1.4 did it....
This may be a solution for all of those who are stuck in recovery mode after trying to go to 2.0.
