All iPhones that were bricked after attempting a firmware upgrade from an unlocked iPhone can now get their iPhones back by upgrading to Apple's latest v1.1.3 firmware. Put the iPhone in recovery mode, and hook your brick up to your computer to start iTunes. After restoring and upgrading, iTunes will not automatically activate your iPhone so you will have to restart your iPhone (Top + Home) to get signal and data connections. The downside is that you won't be able to jailbreak again and will have to settle with checking your stocks, finding where you're located, and watching icons wobble as you move them as a jailbreak looks unlikely for v1.1.3.

I think I may have both help someone and screwed myself out of a bargain with this info. But I’m glad I could help someone with a bricked iPhone.

You seriously under estimate the diligence of the hackers that jailbreak the iphone EVERYTIME.

Next time youre in the bathroom, make sure you take your head out of your ass before you shit, so when you decide to speak you wont spew it out.
