Bricked iPhone? HELP. "Incorrect Sim Insert an unlocked and valid sim to activate"

[Dell]

Well, my mate stuffed up. I jailbroke his 1.1.2 OOB so he could use it as a iPod and what not in the meantime while we waited for an unlock. And he upgraded to 1.1.3, now he gets the message "Incorrect Sim Insert an unlocked and valid sim to activate phone"

How can i fix this?

whats happening is the itunes 1.1.3 update is flashing your baseband firmware.
the new firmware doesn't play well with 1.1.1 and 1.1.2.
you need to downgrade your baseband. good luck. i have no idea how thats done.

You may choose to do part, or all of this. But, I'm sure it will fix your problems.
