This should make iTunes recognize the iPhone again. VOILA!

Hope this helps.

WOW you guys are good.
Fixed it and allowed me to restore.
I think it will mow be better to wait for an easy Jailbreak as i now am back to a unactivated previously unlocked phone. It now has V1.1.2 when it was an OTB V1.1.1 which i jailbroke and Unlocked using anysim.

Hopefully and easier jailbreak / sim unlock is just around the corner.

Anyhow respect to everyone who has helped.
