Error -1 and 56 when restoring via iTunes

Alright, I have had it with this iPhone, I tried to update via iTunes and everything was going smoothly until bam "iTunes cannot update the iPhone "iPhone" an unknown error occurred (-1) so i tried again with the same result... Then I read to take out the SIM card and do it and when I take out the SIM I get error 56. I assume at this point its a locgic board issue so I read up on it and I tried replacing the dock connector, I heated up the Baseband chip I froze it in the freezer ect. Nothing seems to work. This phone has A LOT of sentimental value to me and I really need to get it working. Is there a program out there I can use to bypass whatever is f**king up my restore? I also tried a program called 3uTools that flashes a completely new firmware and file system to the device but at around 80% it fails as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

At this point, its been narrowed down to baseband. Is there any program I can use to bypass it so the restore process can finish? I dont even care about cellular data anymore I am just sick of this $30 phone from walmart.

You need to change the baseband.
