Stop giving false info/hope to the TS.
I've read the link that you gave over and over again and not a single line said you can downgrade the baseband back to 02.28.00. All they were discussing was downgrading the
FIRMWARE and not the
BASEBAND. Get the fact straight first before giving hope to people. If it was possible, won't the dev team already given the solution to it?
FIRMWARE and
BASEBAND are different. From my understanding, most of them in that site want to
JAILBREAK their phone and not to
UNLOCK. Thats why they want to downgrade the firmware from 2.2.1 to 2.2 since dev team has not release Pwnagetool or Quickpwn for 2.2.1 at that time.
The bolded sentence shows the reader downgrade the firmware to jailbreak it and not to unlock it. I assume most of them are using AT&T hence there no need for an unlock, they were just concerned about jailbreaking. But our TS is trying to
UNLOCK his phone which is not possible with 2.2.1 baseband (02.30.03) at this moment.
The whole article talk about baseband downgrade. Notice that all the guys who did that mentioned iPhone 3G 2.2.1 firmware. This is why the article specifically mentioned that they have managed to downgrade the baseband from 2.3.03 to 2.28.
It is not false hope when many of them have done it.
One of our readers, ezio-xb just commented on our step-by-step guide to downgrade from iPhone firmware 2.2 to 2.1 to tell us that he was able to successfully downgrade his iPhone 3G back to firmware 2.2 and jailbreak it. We have updated the guide to downgrade from iPhone firmware 2.2.1 to firmware 2.2.

He commented:
"FYI; I just made the BIG mistake to update my Jailbraked 3g-iPhone with 2.2.1 (with the Safari blah blah update) which totally mess up my phone and put it back to "normal".
I found your guide and I downgrade back to 2.2 using the ...shift+restore option that you suggest for previously firmware in the upper article (!than you!)
After all the process and the long restore point I was able also to Jailbreak and now works as it was before and just need to fix my icons."
Notice the word 3G in the article that was first downgrade & jailbreak. ezio-xb initially has a non-working iPhone 3G when he mistakenly upgrade to firmware 2.2.1. The dead iPhonei s now working for him.
illjuan3@yahoo.com... posted a youtube video of the exact sequence of doing the restore & users skp, dm0ney, effwg etc... and many of the posting in the same page showed that they have manged to downgrade & un lock the iPhone 3G.
Even in the posting for te video in Youtube at least 1 of the recent posting thank the person for the intructions to solve the 2.2.1 downgrade probl
SO THIS IS NOT FALSE HOPE. AT LEAST THEY TRIED AND GET IT WORKING.
Just to let you know - I have unlocked, jailbreak and customized 5 iPhone 3G and 8 iPhone 2G over the last 4 months for friends & relatives for free. I am also a registered Apple iPhone Applications developer on iPhone applications as a part-time basis and also work on cracking some of the paid applications on Cydia & Applestore for my own personal use.
