hello so a friend has got me to try unlock iphone 4 for him but its on the "connect to itunes" screen so i jailbroke it with redsnow but dident realise you have to use a cirtain ipsw to hacktivate it if i run through redsnow with the ipsw i need while thee iphone is jailbroken is it going to brick it or not thanks for any help

The IPSW must match the iOS on the device with the exception of iOS 6.X which must be a 6.0 regardless of what iOS 6.X it is in order to hacktivate. It's based on the iOS on the phone already. Hacktivating a device means jailbreaking the device using RedSn0w the old-school way, which will jailbreak and hacktivate your device at the same time. Sole hacktivation was taken out with the turn of iOS 6.

yes im on ios 4.3.5 all i need to know is if i jailbrake again will with a ipsw that will bypass the activation will it brick the iphone

You cannot bypass the activation screen without jailbreaking. If you're already jailbroken, you can't re-jailbreak. Hacktivating does not brick your device...........

is there any way i could just return it to stock and just starn again

The only way to restore to a non-6.1.3 iOS is if you have blobs. Without blobs, you cannot re-restore or selectively restore
