We’ve been getting quite a bit of mail about this lately, most of you probably didn’t jump the gun and install iTunes 7.7 but some of you did.

So you didn’t listen to our warnings about upgrading your lowly 2G/EDGE iPhone to v2.0 firmware and installing iTunes 7.7, now your phone is relocked and you have a really expensive iPod touch because you can’t make any phone calls.

Well everything you require to get your phone back is already available right here from our iPhone downloads section. Here is what you need:

First you’ll need to uninstall iTunes 7.7 then install iTunes 7.6.2 which we have for you here: Windows / Mac

You shouldn’t need to download it serpately but here is our link to iPhone Firmware v1.1.4

All you need to do is use iTunes to perform a full recovery and it will nicely downgrade your iPhone for you. Just turn off the phone plug it into your computer then press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10 sec, it will beep you can let go of the power but keep holding the home button down until iTunes has discovered the phone in restore mode.

Update: if you are having problems with a newer iPhone you may need to downgrade the baseband firmware. You can use a modded version of ZiPhone by kIREmk to achieve this available here: Windows / Mac
