You're essentially accusing all of us of lying when you tell us to read your posts when we clearly have. How else can we respond to your post and discuss the contents of that post directly? What we're not doing is accepting your post as a truth unconditionally. Reading your post does not necessitate agreeing with your post. Why don't you read my posts? My response is that what you're stating is just impossible. The window is closed, and has been since mid-day Thursday, and no one can restore to 4.0.1 now unless they have the SHSHs saved.
Get over the insults, they're not meant to be personal attacks - merely explanations. As in: At worst, you're a troll/lying (note I'm not saying that you actually are, just offering a possible explanation for your actions) or at best, you were misinformed as to when the signing window closed,and actually restored the phone during the last few minutes the window remained open. I've already actually stated that besides this issue, you appear to be a respectable member that is willing to help out members on these forums. For some reason a moderator deleted that comment of mine during his clean-up. That's not my fault.
You can get refurbs, there are a few members on here with phones that have 5K serials, and I know I've gotten a 3GS refurb around this time last year.
He reported you for propagating information that will confuse members of this community - not for offering help. I don't know how else to explain it, no matter what you saw with your eyes, it's just impossible to do what you're saying. There have been a few events in my own life that I could've sworn occurred in one manner but in reality occurred differently. I accepted that after others have explained to me how my version of the story just cannot be. Often times we see what we want to see (or remember what we want to remember) rather than what actually happened.
Also, while I don't have anything against you personally, I don't care if you think I'm wrong about my position. What does matter to me is the state of the community; I don't want people to end up getting the false impression that they can restore to 4.0.1 if they have a phone on 4.0. These people should stay on 4.0, since attempting to update may fail at the wrong spot and force them to restore to 4.0.2. I guarantee you, that you will not find anyone else who will be able to restore to 4.0.1 even from 4.0, if they do not have their SHSHs saved.
I just remembered this: I do have an uncle with an iPhone 3GS still on 4.0 that's never been jailbroken, and hasn't had its SHSH saved. I will be meeting with him this weekend - if he lets me borrow his phone, I welcome you to VNC into my machine and attempt to restore the phone.
