How do you load the "new" version filed in iPhuc?
I get all the same errors as you guys, but mine tries to update to an older version of the firmware, while I was on V1.02 before it got fucked:

Anyone know what 1014 means?
Same problems as others in this thread report, diffent code though

Restorelog also shows:
[libusbrestore: 0xC24, 00:25:39.765] => <Restore Device 070FBDB0>: operation 18 progress -1
[libusbrestore: 0xC24, 00:25:57.453] => <Restore Device 070FBDB0>: operation 19 progress -1
[libusbrestore: 0xC24, 00:29:15.984] => _AMRestoreModeDeviceFinalize: 070FBDB0
[libusbrestore: 0xB64, 00:29:15.421] => _AMRecoveryModeDeviceFinalize: 01F7DE40

Where it used to show:
[libusbrestore: 0x1124, 21:35:13.109] => <Restore Device 05050630>: operation 18 progress -1
[libusbrestore: 0x1124, 21:35:32.734] => <Restore Device 05050630>: operation 19 progress -1
[libusbrestore: 0x1124, 21:35:41.468] => <Restore Device 05050630>: operation 20 progress -1
[libusbrestore: 0x1124, 21:35:42.593] => <Restore Device 05050630>: operation 21 progress -1

So it skips steps 20 and 21?
Anyone know what these two steps are? I suspect its the baseband?

Usually force UpdateBaseBand gives a bunch of retries. Starts with:
will update with usr/local/standalone/ICE03.12.06_G.fls and usr/local/standalone/ICE03.12.06_G.eep
And then ends with bootloader is too old update to 1.8 or later and try again...

But once in a while, it starts updating? Last time I connected with grestore phonedmg (fw1.0) after getting to restore, I replaced the contents of phonedmg with the files of the new firmware.... Then it started doing "something" and counting: ProgressUpdated: 01 - 100

Which ended with: ProcessDetailUpdated: Sending end-pack.
ProcessDetailUpdated: Process time was 2 min 3 sec.
Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify downloaded image.
Done
done.

Has anybody had any luck getting past the Yellow Triangle on a Mac with this error?

Cheers, Chris W.

I am still stuck with this problem. I got past the yellow triangle using wiNstaller but no luck getting past activation and the "Repair Needed" message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PROBLEM IS FIXED!!! WOO HOO!

Ok, I had another comms board on order so I thought: what did I have to loose? So, I cracked the iPhone up again and had a close look at the trace under 8x magnification. It is damn tiny so it was hard to make out, but after a while it seemed to me like the trace may have been damaged.

So I grabbed a scraping tool (metal and pointy) and gently, and I mean gently, scraped off all of the green off the trace in the direction of the trace. It took about 10 minutes and I could see an unbroken line of copper heading around the small black surface mount diode/capacitor (not sure which) and towards the big black square chip (S-Gold).

It all looked good, so I fired up bbupdater -f *.fls *.eep in my previously uploaded directory. It actually worked this time! Then a quick bbupdater -v to confirm and I was away.

I did a restore in iTunes back to 1.0.2 and then loaded everything up again including the software unlock (had to use iUnlock as the anySIM one gave me the no matching bytes error).

It wasn't necessary, but the rescue Wi-Fi kit is in this thread: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5026

Oh, to get past the Yellow Triangle I used iNdependence. Simply running it seemed to trip it to the activation screen. Then using iPhuc I uploaded lockdownd to the correct place, restarted and had access (but no Wi-Fi, etc).

Thanks to go out to Sam and the Dev team!

do you have some picture where is the damage?
