[0049 bad imei] IPSF doesn't work with an original license

**realindoor** · 02-04-2008 03:21 AM

I'm with bad imei 0049 on 111,
I've red somewhere that ipsf fix the bad imei resetting the nck counter...
so..
I bought a license from Iphone sim free for my original imei (i wrote it down before the brick) but the app keep giving this error:

Error, unlock is currently unauthorised or unavailable for this phone

I guess my corrupted imei is not recognized by the ipsf server...

any ideas?

thanks for your help

PS Ive really tried every tutorial out there to fix my problem, nw after 12 days of attempts I'm freaking out

here says when you remove the sim the imei should come back, then to run iphonesimfree... but if i remove the sim the bad imei wont go away even after rebooting! BAD IMEI STILL THERE WITHOUT SIM?
anyone with the same problem?

Try the virginisor scripts from i.unlock.no...

Have you updated to 1.1.3 in iTunes at any point?

**realindoor** · 02-04-2008 06:09 AM

yes i have updated, I have also done the baseband downgrader from i.unlock.no, the the virginizer, no luck, I've done al the steps in 111 and then in 102 still no luck, please help me!!!

Well that's the problem then. You updated to 1.1.3 through iTunes. Did you not see the warnings that said not to do that? You'll have to wait for the next version of AnySIM now that can unlock 1.1.3's baseband (i.e. 04.03.13). The good news is it's reportedly not far off.

So why there is a 1.1.3>1.1.1 baseband downgrader out there? If you have BL 3.9 it shouldn't be an issue?

i gather your phone is a 3.9 bootloader if so downgrade to 1.1.1 and do the baseband downgrade from installer, source = i.unlock.no. then do the virginizer then restore to 1.1.1 (do not reboot the phone - its a good idea to have itunes opena nd seeing the phone so you have the option to restore when bbdowngrade and virginizer is done, remember to shift/alt+restore and find the ipsw file for 1.1.1)- you should have fresh 1.1.1
