iPhone help

Sorry to hijack the thread but I am having a slight problem with my iPhone as well. Just going through the restoration to 1.1.1 but iBrickr doesn't seem to work for me, it keeps saying "Not Responding". What can I do?
Edit: NVM seems like it's cos I'm on vista x64. Oh joy.

That doesn't work, I know from experience.
I bought an iPhone for myself, but decided to take it back (before the UK jailbreak had surfaced) and they smugly said;
"You can only return it if it's failed the credit check, bring in a print out from iTunes and we'll refund you".
I replied with "..but it was a present for someone, they haven't used it.. it's opened but it's not even 24hrs old" and the manager just gave me a dodgy look.
If it hadn't of been for the security guard I would have played hell.
Just came back but the snooty woman who served me yesterday gave me a right rollicking and told to me to get in touch with Apple. Ah well guess I'm stuck till 1.1.4 
Wouldn't let me exchange it as the hardware isn't broken.

You told her that you'd attempted to Jailbreak it? 
it maybe a daft question but you are putting the phone in restore mode when your going back 1.1.1
by all accounts, if you upgrade via iTunes by mistake and you have the 4.6 bootloader, it will let you go back, but becuase its changed the modem software you still loose all phone funtionality.

If you are getting "The iPhone "iPhone" could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).", then you are not correctly following the downgrade guides posted. In order to downgrade your phone from version 1.1.3 to an earlier version (and lose phone capabilities if you have the 4.6 bootloader), you need to make sure you enter the right restore mode. That's right - there's two of them. If you have the "Connect to iTunes" icon on your screen when you try to restore, then you're in the wrong mode and that's why you're getting the error.
In order to downgrade your phone, you need to be able to get to the phone's home screen. In other words you need to be able to boot it up correctly, without hitting the "Connect to iTunes" restore mode. If you keep entering this mode, use iNdependence or iBrickr to get out of that mode and back onto your phone's home screen.
From there, you need to connect your phone your computer and follow these steps CAREFULLY.
1. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the iPhone shuts down.
2. WITHOUT releasing the Home button, release the Sleep/Wake button (the top one).
3. When iTunes displays the message saying it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode AND your screen is still black, let go of the Home button and you're reading to do the Option-Click restore to downgrade to 1.1.1 (or something else).

If you have 3.9 you should be fine, I downgraded alright.
Correct, im not sure if will was quoting the sales women or himself when he said
Not in as many words, she was pretty clued up though. Sly so and so.
Trying to downgrade to 1.1.1 at the mo as I've got the 3.9 bootloader, so might be able to fix it.
I'm sure my Brother did that before, saying it just cuts off and as it was under 14 days they said ok we trust you heres a replacement.
Just make our there is a hardware fault somewhere.
If you don't want the hassel, I'l have it off you for £100

Restore it in iTunes, and mid-way though the restore yank out the USB.
That'll cause a hardware fault
