Strangest boot loop EVAR on 4.1 w/ 06.15.00 baseband

I sold a 3G back in December that was JB & UL on 4.1 w/ the iPad baseband. I told them NOT to restore it with iTunes. Less than 24 hours later, they did it anyway. So, I bought the phone back from them for $50 and sold them another one. It was stuck in the recovery boot loop and I didn't have time to mess with it. Its been sitting in a drawer until now when I decided to try undo their mess.

So, here's what I have and what I've done:

3G on 4.1 w/ iPad baseband

I've tried:

- Entered Pwned DFU mode w/ redsn0w and restored to a custom 4.1 IPSW that I downloaded from somewhere over a month ago. This gave me a boot loop with a black and white pineapple instead of recovery mode, so I looked at it as progress.


- Decided to try to do a hard reset by holding down Home & Power for 30 seconds, and now its stuck on THIS:

Note that iTunes recognizes the phone as being in Recovery Mode and shows up in TU as well.

Ignoring the fact that I'm being taunted by a foreign caricature of Steve Jobs, what should I do next? TSS restore to the custom IPSW?

EDIT: Also note that I'm not getting any errors during the restore, either.

I just realized I put this in the wrong section. Move me, plzzzz

Don't freak btw, it's the custom restore screen from pwnage tool. The video tells how to fix it.

So, basically it means nothing and I'm still stuck with a looping paperweight. Awesome.

Strange that sometimes I get normal recovery mode and then the Pwnage version.

I hate this phone.
