Probably a dumb question: Won't just restoring a phone in iTunes default to the latest public release without first downloading and then selecting an ipsw file?
Got a tip for us?

well depends... is Apple still signing 7.0.3
yes itll do that but itunes still downloads the ipsw file if not already on computer. i just do it this way as apples servers tend to be slower.
i know what he said and i know they still signing 7.0.3 (as i downgrade back to that earlier today) if someone wants 7.0.3 then they'll have to manually d/l that ipsw, thats what i was meaning... doing 50 things at same time... losing track of where im at
If you're still looking for an answer, I have a solution.
Go and download the latest IPSW that is being signed. Then plug in your phone and shift + click on the update button. Choose the IPSW file. Let it work its magic and you should be on 7.0.4 without losing any data.
