I bricked my iPhone 4 and can't get iTunes to restore the device to 4.3.3. I keeps saying that my device isn't eligible for this version. Anyone have any suggestion on how I can get back to 4.3.3. I've no success all day. Thanks.
Got a tip for us?

I'm didn't realize how little I had posted. The story is I updated to the 5.0 beta without realizing you had to go through the whole activation process again. I have and iPhone 4 have tried downgrading with iTunes 10.2.2, 10.3, and 10.5. My mac is running 10.6.7. Anything else helpful you might need let me know. Thanks.
I've put in DFU mode, which I assume is recovery mode and hit restore on itunes multiple times. Each time it say my device is not eligible for that build. I know it has been the correct build. I'm not sure why it's saying that though.

Not sure if it will work, but you could try the steps in this article that shows you how to activate your iphone on iOS5 using some sort of backdoor.
The reason you can't downgrade is because your SHSH wasn't saved for 4.3.3, and iTunes thinks you are trying to downgrade to a previous version which isn't allowed. Next time, save the SHSH blobs with Tiny Umbrella

Follow these steps. I did the same thing about a hour ago and was freaking out.
