Just heard of one instance that the circumstances on my situation resulted in someone bricking their phone. Anyone know if this would work if a restore using 1.0.2 followed by the upgrade(using that term loosely) would work better?

No, not possible!

aye aye sir!!

Hi !

I know that the downgrading procedure seems to be on its way right now, so maybe my questions are moot until i get my iPhone on wednesday next week...
My iPhone has been bought 5 days ago so i *hope* it has 1.02 FW.
If it is so, do you feel it should be safe to deactivate it and jailbreak it ?
The only thing causing ( maybe permanent damage ) is to flash the baseband wich is not done by deactivation / jailbreaking / using 3'rd party apps ( well exept anysim of course ), right ?
So i could at least have a kind of "ipod touch with NES emu" until things clear up...

Would you agree ( i know there are no guarantees ) ?

Another question:
Would it make sense to do a complete baseband backup before doing anything unlock-wise ? ( or is it dony by anysim anyways, couldn't find a hint.
As someone stated before, the baseband seems to carry a lot of phone-individual data ( calibration, personalization, etc. ).

Am i confusing things ( i would think that nordumper saves those critical data or is that yet another data space then the baseband, if so: does anything of what i said make sense ) ?

Baseline is: How can i backup as much as possible with wich tools and do you think its a good idea :-)

As long as you don't accidentally pull in the 1.1.1 software when you jailbreak+activate, it is fine to do that. Same warning if you end up having to do a full restore one day...make sure you don't pull in the 1.1.1 software during that restore.

A NOR dump is always a good idea. Nobody knows whether the calibration data itself is in there, but sure there's other stuff in there that would be good to backup.

what if I did NOT unlock with the SOFTWARE method but the command line method???

you did modify the baseband .. so you unlocked the phone the same way the software does but in a longer way..

Hi again,
hmm... even if i would accidently upload 1.1.1. it shouldn't end up as an iBrick as long as i did not modify the baseband before ( unlocked ), right ??

The main isea is that i would refrain from modding the baseband, using it as a super-iTouch as long as we all can be sure there is a way of taking back the baseband modification if push comes to shove.
( What if i would do a nordump, mod the baseband and then flash back the nordump, would'nt this be impossible to detect, so i could upgrade save to 1.1.1 if i decide to become an apple fanboy and go with at&t ?! )


Greetings & thanks,

lurker here....

So, i used AnySim to unlock my iphone for the hell of it, even though i have ATT.
I accidentally upgraded to the new firmware.
I have restored to 1.02 firmware but no phone functionality works with my ATT sim.

Now my question is, (and i ask this cuz i simply cannot understand all this baseband talk), what do i do to get the phone back into OUT OF BOX state, where i can have a virgin phone once again?

If this has not yet been done, please reply with that too.

Thanks all.

I know is around , sorry to ask .. but what is the code needed to check the version without activating the phone???
