Hi all,


I now found out that Inot only have to restore my iPhone via iTunes in order to try the unlocking again, but also have to flash the baseband using BBUPDATER. And here I'm stuck. here#s what I found out so far:

I need a software called BBUPDATER. I found that on the internet
=> where on the iPhone to put it?

I appearantly also need 2 files, namely:
ICE03.14.08_G.eep
ICE03.14.08_G.fls

I found those as well. Again: where to put it on the phone?

And then what? By searching I found that I shall install TERMINAL via the installer.app, which I have also done.

Appearantly I now can somehow start that bbupdater doing SOMETHING with those mysterious files in order to flash the baseband.

Does anybody can tell me what to do with that?

Thanks your help is highly appreciated!

Eric

put a copy of the 1.0.2 firmware in a directory on your Mac. If you need to download it, get it from here.
rename the extension on the firmware from ipsw to zip
unzip it
run: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync
use finder to navigate to the directory where ramdisk.dmg is and double-click it to mount it.
copy the following files to the directory /usr on your iphone
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/bin/bbupdater
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.eep
/Volumes/ramdisk/usr/local/standalone/firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls
copy those three files to your iPhone: scp -p bbupdater ICE* root@youriphoneip:/unlock
on your iPhone, run: cd /unlock
on your iPhone, run: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
on your iPhone, run: ./bbupdater -f *.fls -e *.eep
on your iPhone, run: launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

No need for terminal on your phone, use terminal on your mac.
SSH into your iphone using this command ssh root@youriphoneip
enter password en then you can do what is needed.
Also download fugu to get the files on the iphone. Login is same as with ssh

Wow, thanks for the extensive explanation. nfortunately I have a few questions left, being not very familiar with using the Terminal.

So I got the Firmware and unzipped it. Then you write:

What is meant by that? Is that something I have to enter on a Terminal prompt?

I guess the dmg appears after that command was issued!?

Any changes to the permissions that have to be made (0755)?

That automatically creates that Subfolder UNLOCK?

[/QUOTE]

I use CYBERDUCK, guess it does the job as well. Hopefully

Thanks in advance for clearing things up for me...

How do you do this on Windows?

open terminal on your mac and then do cd /Users/..... to where the unzipped iphone firmware is. Then run this command in terminal
run: dd if=009-7698-4.dmg of=ramdisk.dmg bs=512 skip=4 conv=sync

Yep, ramdisk will appear in the frmware folder and you can open that dmg.
permissions can be changed to 0755. It wont do anything wrong.

make the folder unlock in /usr with cyberduck. so the command will be like this scp -p bbupdater ICE* root@youriphoneip:/usr/unlock

Have fun

Grmps, I just tried to issue that SCP-command, but got the following:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

Offending key in /Users/Eric/.ssh/known_hosts:4
RSA host key for 192.168.1.2 has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
lost connection

Have you any idea what to do in order that the command wil be accpepted?

Does that scp command do anything except copying the 3 files? If not, could I just drag them in the /unlock Folder with Cyberduck???

maskwearer, run this command in the terminal
rm ~/.ssh/known_hosts
then try again using ssh
