Virginize your 1.0.2 iPhone

This guide will instruct you how to virginize your 1.0.2 after you applied AnySim/iUnlocker. After this you can safely install 1.1.1.
Start by downloading this: Virginiser.tar.gz.
1. Install SSH (Via INdependence or in Installer>System "BSD Subsystem" and then "OpenSSH"). By default your password will be "dottie"
2. If you are using Mac start terminal. Type in
scp -r Virginiser.tar.gz root@192.168.1.100:/usr/bin
Wheres 192.168.1.100 is your IP address. You can view it on your iPhone in Settings>WiFi. If you are using Windows use WinSCP to upload it.
3. Still in terminal, type:
ssh root@192.168.1.100
Again, 192.168.1.100 is your IP address. On Windows use PuTTY for this.
4. Now you have connected to your iPhone via SSH. Type:
cd /usr/bin
tar -xzvf Virginiser.tar.gz
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
cd Virginiser
chmod 0755 *
./virginise.sh
launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
5. Now just backup your seczone.backup using Fugu/WinSCP. Navigate to "/usr/bin/Virginise", and download seczone.backup.

Now you are ready to update your phone to version 1.1.1. The best guide for this: winandmac.com.

I think you are missing a few things, such as

"Make sure all files (cept ICE03.14.08_G files) have run permission.
obtain Apple's ICE03.14.08_G.* files and bbupdator from the 1.0.2 firmware yourself since they cannot be distributed"

barry, garfs - here's the missing instructions on how to get the missing files:
http://www.tuaw.com/2007/09/24/how-to-relock-your-iphone-before-the-firmware-update/

You need to 1) download the 1.0.2 firmware (which you probably did in order to unlock the phone in the first place) 2) extract the DMG disk image using the instructions in the link 3) mount the new disk image 4) get the files from the disk image, as mentioned above, and copy them into your virginizer directory.

I haven't actually done this, still happy with 1.0.2 and the weekend isn't here yet :)
