version issue on iphone

hi again...i just want to continue on my last post here...so now, the problem is the version of my phone which is 4.3.3..yes it is obsolete and since my phone is stuck in recovery mode..the technician couldnt restore it because they dont have the program anymore for 4.3.3!! and thats really bad news for me...the only option he gave me is to replace the motherboard which obviously is very scarce here. the other option is he can make my iphone work but...not as a phone but as an ipod!!!! hahahaha..silly!!! so now my problem goes to finding a replacement for my motherboard..can anyone suggest where i can find one? thanks a lot
 
Which iPhone is it? A 3G? The 3G's last iOS was 4.2.1 not sure what 4.3.3 is.

Just let iTunes upgrade to whatever it thinks your iPhone needs.

Ahh your original post just showed up. The only iOS Apple is signing for the iPhone 4 is 7.x
Since you drowned your iPhone (this is more often than not fatal to the iPhone's electronics) your best bet might be a OoW replacement from Apple.
