I have an AT&T contract and recently updated my phone to 1.1.1. I don't like it and want to go back to 1.0.2. I've read several articles about how to do it, but it is confusing as to whether a legit, locked AT&T phone will function as a phone after a downgrade. I have downloaded the 1.0.2 restore, INdependence, and AppTapp installer. I'm really confused by the statements that talk about re-unlocking or the phone function not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Got a tip for us?

confirmation!
so everyone is clear, because to me it was ambiguous:
i have a locked at&t phone and was too much of a ***** to hack it. i updated to 1.1.1 and then decided it was time to try and hack. I went back to 1.0.2 successfully using the described methods. phone works. installed apptapper, why was i scared??! it's amazing!

Every one mentions a baseband issue when down grading. I have a ATT phone with 1.1.1. and want to go back, what will this do to base band? and what the hell does that mean? so i guess my question is, if I go back will it be 100% back or will it be back with a baseband issue, (which I don't even know what that means) ? 
from what i gathered, in very simple terms, and possibly incorrect, the 1.1.1 update was 2 things: a firmware update from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 and a baseband update, which i am thinking is a firmware update for the phone function itself. You can downgrade the 1.1.1 firmware, but the phone firmware stays updated. As long as you have AT&T, it is 100% fine.
can you give a link to that method please?
i have been looking for a mac version for a buddy
1. here is the link i followed, but it's the same directions as everywhere else.

2. my iphone restored all of my settings, including contacts, email accounts, pictures, music, etc... I didn't have to do anything special. You CAN chose to set up as a new phone or transfer what was on your original phone.

Heres how I did it successfully.
It has all the links and clear directions, I didnt lose anything but maybe photos that I shouldve imported to iPhoto first and my exchange account from work (which isnt synced to my mac).
Just make sure address book is synced properly, all my voicemails were fine.

This one AT&T csr is an idiot. My edge and voicemail suddenly stopped working. She told me that I had to restore my iphone and it'll work again. I had 1.0.2 and after the restore went to 1.1.1.
Stupid me, I listened to her and nothing worked. So I called back and another csr helped me out and said it was on their side and that she was going to fix the issue. She did. I was pretty upset that I didn't have to go to 1.1.1.
Now I'm back to 1.0.2 with all the great apps.

Yes you can, I wouldn't go sim-unlocking it yet, but you can downgrade and install apps just fine, look for my post a few posts up for a link to the directions.
