Thanks a lot for this tips. They helped me unbrick a friend’s iPhone last night. I didn’t follow through all the steps, though. The key part for me was itunes 7.5 and firm 1.1.4 on windoze. Then it got out of the recovery mode and I could do a clean update, jailbreak and unlock using a custom firmware built with pwnagetool.

Thanks a lot for your help!!

YES! Thank you thank you thank you! I was in the process of pwning my 1st Gen 2.0.2 iphone and somehow the restore went wrong and I couldn not get out of the error 1604 no matter how many times I try it with the various “solutions” found on google. Your tip finally did the trick! What I did was install itunes 7.5 and restore with 1.1.4 firmware on XP. Once the restore was complete, I didn’t get any errors. I proceeded to do another restore on my macbook with itunes 7.7.1 and 2.0.2 firmware and I was back to the perfect pre-pwnage state. I spent the past couple of days stressing over the error and was about to declare iphone my new paper weight. Thank you, lots of good karma will come your way!

I do not know what happen but it worked!! Had the 1604 error after trying to unlock in 2.0.
Tried 3 machines (windows) , new installs of Itunes nothing , nothing worked. Once I followed your directions IT WORKED . All I had to do was install itunes 7.5 and restore in regular recovery mode- phone would restore in DFU mode- got a (-11) ipod error.
Then used Ziphone to free all.
Anyway thanks!!!
