I got a phone that was originally on 1.0.2 (unlocked but not knowing which method since it was bought off someone else) and "accidentally" upgraded to 1.1.2; and somehow rendering it useless with the invalid IMEI.

I had restored it via DFU mode to 1.0.2, and tried the usual baseband downgrade, but somehow my attempt at ieraser did not erase the baseband completely.

Code:

# ieraser
Resetting the Baseband...Done
Opened: /dev/tty.baseband
iEraser: tool by geohot
thanks to gray and the dev team for the implementation
thanks to nightwatch for the awesome toolchain
and thanks to anonymous, iProof, lazyc0der, and dinopio for the idea for this cool trick
this tool erases your main fw, starting at 0x20000. you need this for the testpoint to work
you need a file called secpack matching your current firmware version in this folder
see http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com for instructions on finding this file

*** This is the method that I used (successfully many times before): http://www.winandmac.com/mobile/ipho...via-downgrade/

Has anyone experienced the same thing?
