1. You are a version behind. The installer may have done something weird.
2. If you do a recovery, you may run into some trouble unlocking again. You can probably install 1.1.3 manually. At the end of this post I will point you to a post (that is a bit out of date) but tells you how to do that.
3. OK
4. Ok
5. If you can, try a mac to see if it even recognizes it.
6. So, you have the current version of iTunes. Good (I believe)
7. OK
8. There are firewire cables which you can use to charge only but not sync.
9. No beep or anything?
10. OK
11. OK
12. Good
13. So for the recovery mode, read this "Reboot your iPhone holding the top (power) and home buttons BUT release the top button 10 seconds into it (right after the screen goes dark) and continue to hold the home button until iTunes detects the phone in recovery mode. The iPhone screen will appear to be off, but start iTunes if not started yet ."
You might want to read through some of this post: http://www.hightechdad.com/2007/11/16/iphone-ne...
It talks about some ways to restore from a previous version of the firmware. It's outdated a bit. Also, the instructions are pretty Mac-centric.
Best best is if you can get the phone into recovery mode, you should be able to get your iPhone connected again. BUT I'm not sure of the consequences with UNLOCKING. You may run into issues. Did you unlock it yourself?
Post back and good luck!

To No. 9..thats right no beep or anything .
It seems to me that the problem revolves round the fact that I cannot seem to put the iphone into recovery mode.
I can reboot the phone but I cannot put it inot recovery mode using the instructions given . I have held the home key ( my fingers went into fatigue mode) but itunes does not recognise the presence of iphone and nothing appears on the iphone screen . I have to than reboot ( hold both home key and pwer key ) till the apple icon appears and the phone than ( after a while ) get's back to live again .
I think I somehow need to force the phone to go into recovery mode ...which should than allow me to connect to itunes and than hopefully be able to start all over again .
I bought the phone unlocked ..

1) Disconnect your iPhone form computer
2) Press and hold the power and home buttons at the same time for about 30 seconds. You should see a yellow triangle with an "!" with the text "Please Connect to iTunes"
3) Connect your iPhone to your computer and fire up iTunes (if it doesn't start automatically)
4) You should see a prompt that iTunes detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
5) I believe at this point, you can choose the firmware you need following the instructions that I outlined and you have downloaded the appropriate one.
Let me know if it worked.

What happened when you went into recovery mode? Or are you saying that it didn't work? It is tricky to get it to that mode. Try starting iTunes first and then do the Recovery process. Turn your phone off, press the Home button and then plug it in (you may or may not see the warning message about recovery). Keep trying it until it is recognized. If it still isn't, bring it in to an Apple Store.
