Ok, sorted the error (1) thanks to HackThatPhone.com. It's to do with the way you enter the DFU mode. To get it to restore properly, use this:
Turn the iPhone on and plug it into iTunes. Put it into DFU mode by holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for 10 seconds. The screen will go black. Let go of the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the Home button for another 10 seconds and iTunes will detect that the iPhone is in recovery mode and display this pop up. Click OK.
Then just follow the steps on the hackthatphone.com site.
Result.

I did it a couple of times and still getting error (1).
Thanks!

I'm confused by everything I'm reading around the internet. Can someone clarify:
If i do this can i use my iphone as a phone???

l found one on youtube from ipodtouchmm don't connect your ipod first hold and turnoff your ipod then you connect your usb to ipod once the ipod icon shows on ipod hold the sleep and home button for 10 sec then release the sleep button keep holding the home button for 10 sec. then do the hold shift click restore thing and there you go.

I am also getting that same error (1). Not sure what to do though. I'm on an unhacked iPhone using At&T network. I'm also using 1.1.3 firmware and i want to downgrade. Can anyone help me? I do know how to get Ringtones on the phone if anyone needs help with that. Email me.

weird i am getting an error 1 when trying to downgrade, not 1013

OK, probably stupid questions, but here goes.

1. If I bought my iPhone with 1.0.1 on it, do I have bootloader 3.9?

2. Is jailbreaking a permanent modification? Meaning, after a restore, though 3rd party functionality is gone, is my iPhone in a different state than it would have been in, had i never jailbroken it.

3. Are there certain packages that permanently alter the iPhone (such as BSD Subsystem, or Oktoprep?)

4. If, after following this guide I decide to go back to 1.1.3, will my iPhone be in the same state as it was before the downgrade?

Well this is what i did
i have a mac...
i have my iPod connected to iTunes
i held onto the power/home button
when the iPod disappears from the sidebar let go of the power button, keep holding the home button
hold the home button until the ipod comes back and it should work when you use the regular process to downgrade back to 1.1.1(make sure u have it though)

http://iphone.unlock.no/ still has the better utility.

My understanding is that you can downgrade an iPhone with Out-Of-Box firmware 1.1.3 to 1.1.1, etc.

However you WILL NOT be able to use the iPhone for phone functionality.

You WILL be able to use it for iPod functionality once Activated and Jailbroken.

Again, this is just my understanding, I haven't found a definitive answer in any of the iPhone blogs.

I hope this is the case because I'm getting an iPhone in the next few days and I can live without the phone functionality until an Unlock arrives. But if I can't use it for anything at all, well... that will be a tough pill to swallow.
