So I had to do a reboot after running ienew but before iunew. After reboot I had now wifi, the iPhone complained that it's damaged and need repair, and (worst of all) bbupdater -v showed a "resource busy". I tried to run ienew and it worked as expeded, but after restore to 1.1.1 still no baseband (iPhone still complaining "need repair", bbupdate -v show "resource busy). A restore to 1.1.2 rescued me: after that, the baseband was working again, including wifi and i could continue unlocking the iPhone.

I'm on the exact same situation, after running ienew over ssh I didn't get any output from it and the WiFi connection was dropped, after that I couldn't reestablish it. I tried restoring the phone with both 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 (the latter took forever) and get the 'Repair Needed' message, basically I'm stuck with a brick now. I'm using iTunes 7.5 on Leopard. What iTunes version did you use to make the 1.1.2 restore?

Best regards and good luck to all unlockers.

anybody know how to jailbreak 1.1.1 without using the wifi method? this is the only thing stopping me from doing this.
there was a guide that didnt require wifi but it did require downing to 1.0.2 and then using wifi so it doesnt quite work.

Anyone else share anything on this?

I used a full-size utility knife blade, pinched in a pair of vice grips. It gets in there easily, but I did make a couple scratches getting the case off.
