These are instructions on how to downgrade an iPhone that was accidentally upgraded to 1.1.3 Firmware. If your iPhone has the 3.9 Bootloader then it is possible to downgrade the firmware then downgrade the baseband and get a working phone again.

If you have the 4.6 Bootloader then you must downgrade your iPhone firmware and then you can follow the 1.1.2, 1.1.3 OTB unlock tutorial:

Phone will return to activation screen, but don't panic, just wait. iPhone should automatically restart after almost a minute. When the phone starts again, it should no longer say Slide to emergency, but rather Slide to Unlock. This means it was successful!

I've had a few reports of the emergency slider not changing to the unlock slider. The best suggestion so far has been to keep the iPhone connected to the computer and make sure its detected in iTunes. Otherwise it seems to work if you retry installing AppSnapp till it works. Don't know what the issue is exactly (maybe a server load issue) but if it doesn't work immediately then try again.


DOWNGRADE THE BASEBAND
At this point if you have a 4.6 Bootloader iPhone you cannot continue any further. You can stay at 1.1.1 or you can install OktoPrep and update to 1.1.2 then 1.1.3.

Solved! This was the solution, both the iTunes and independance error :) I fixed this by going to /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ and deleting the MobileDevice.framework folder. Make sure you securly empty the trash. Then reinstall iTunes 7.5. It will work perfectly now. from: http://www.modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?p=158438

Generally you will get Error (1) if you just attempted a restore without rebooting the iPhone into recovery mode first. Did you reboot into recovery(DFU) mode ?
