My iPhone is now an iPod touch (sort of)

So I spent much of last night and today trying to turn my bricked iPhone into something other than an emergency cell phone. I went through the various methods outlined on the Web for downgrading the firmware from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 (knowing full well that having run a software SIM unlock in the past, the best outcome I could hope for was a fancy iPod touch).

On my Mac Pro, I downloaded the old firmware, forced the iPhone into recovery mode, and told iTunes to restore from the 1.0.2 software. That failed several times. I then tried the same process with Parallels Desktop running Windows XP with similar lack of results. I then tried reverting to iTunes 7.3.2 on Windows (as written about on the same Web page) and restoring 1.0.2, which worked.

After that, I spent a while trying to reinstall AppTapp as directed. It failed several times on both OS X and Windows, but finally worked (can’t remember which OS won in the end).

I then tried to run iNdependence in order to fake an activation of my phone without much luck. But when I brought the iPhone to someone else’s Mac, it worked (he might have had a newer version of the software). When we finished, I was holding a previously dead iPhone that could now be used as an iPod, Web browser, Mail client, and various other things — but not a phone. The hacks I subjected it to both pre- and post-bricking did damage to the cellular radio. Hopefully someone will come up with a way to fix that.

In the meantime, I’m using a brand new iPhone.
