Nevermind you only downgraded the firmware back to 1.0.2 not the baseband so your still running the never baseband which isnt unlocked right now.

1.0.0 is available here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...3a_Restore.ipsw

1.0.1 is available here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...25_Restore.ipsw

1.0.2 is available here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...28_Restore.ipsw

1.1.1 avaiable here: http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite...9a_Restore.ipsw

then hold down shift on a pc or the apple button on a mac then hit restore then it should allow you to select the frimware 1.0.2 file you downloaded.

My original 1.02 phone bricked after "trying" 1.1.1, so I bought a new 4gig to tide me over, I installed 1.1.1 just to see how it is. Now I'm wanting to go back to 1.02 since I miss all the apps, customizations, etc...but with the conflicting reports, I don't want to lose the phone portion of this phone.

The unlock is stored in a portion of the phone firmware (the baseband radio firmware) that is not touched by version 1.0.2 no matter how many times you restore it

By UNLOCKED I mean anySim, iUnlock or similar. If you set it up, under 1.0.2, to use a non AT&T SIM it was UNLOCKED

If it was just 'jailbroken' but remained locked to AT&T (AppTapp, iBrickr, iNdependance, iActivator and so on) you will have no problems. None of those routines affect the portion of the phone that is irreversibly changed by 1.1.1.
