iPhone Elite team announces "revirginizer" release

Over at Google Code, the iphone-elite team has released their revirginizing tool, which is designed to rebuild your iPhone's seczone lock table. After using this tool, the team suggests, your 1.0.2 unlocked iPhone will return to its pre-unlocked state and be safe to upgrade to 1.1.1.

As with all restore/revirginizing methods, I recommend caution. You may want to wait a few days, listen to reports, and see if iPhones truly get restored to a "never been kissed" or even "never held hands" state of pure Apple-in-the-Garden innocence.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

Here's my 2-cents (a short guide with everything that went wrong for me, and how to fix it). I know have a v. 1.1.1 iPhone running in the UK on O2, or Orange... or whatever I want.

Hello folks, I do belive there are dozens, hundreds os people like me that browse this site, and all the other related like Dev Wiki, Fiveforty, Cre.ations and so many others looking for the right way to do it because they don't have a sooo deep knowledgment on programming etc...
So I modestly ask in my name and on behalf of people that fit in the profile above to any one who might be kind enought to clarify a few things over this procedure. Here it goes:
I have an 1.02, I activated originally activated using Itunes 7.3.0.54 and using Phone Activation Server 1.0 and unbricked with Ibrikr (thanks to Nate true) unlocked using AnySIM (the old one) and finally fixed Youtube using Pacay package. Then I was able to install up to 32 nes applications and at some point I believe one of them started to cause a weird behavior on my Iphone.
So I restored the firmware back to 1.0.2 (note I never upgraded to 1.1.1). when I tryed to activate again the Phone Serve 1.0 didn't do the job but I got successfully using Pacay. Now I have my I phone running 1.0.2 restored, unbricked and unlocked using a sim card from Batelco (bahamas).
Now here comes the questions:
a)I see many links teaching how to revirginize but are there any steps to do this using Windows ? Does any one can recomend a good link if so ?
b)Again many links to revirginize but how do you activate the 1.1.1 after the full process is complete ?
c)And finally, how do you unbrick 1.1.1 after activating post revirginization ? With Ibrickr 0.9 ?

Many thanks in advance to the kind person(s) that might answer these questions and enlighten us, the poor dummies !

So, after a number of iterations I was able to get this to work. I know have a working phone again - upgraded to 1.1.1.

But... I have an AT&T prepaid account and I am being charged for every call I make and every text message I send (instead of coming out of my 1000 minutes). Not sure how I fix that - any ideas?

Here's a step-by-step guide for Mac users that I compiled that will take you from an unlocked 1.0.2 to an unlocked 1.1.1. http://rdgaccess.com/iphone-elite/viewtopic.php?t=109

Okay. I have a 1.0.2 unlocked with anySIM. If I use this revirginizer will I lose all data on the iPhone? Is there anyway to pull the user data off and chuck it back on after the 1.1.1 update?
