I got an iphone OTB 1.1.3, brand new . The following was done on it:

1. "do it all" on Ziphone. "Jailbreak, activate and unlock"
2. The iphone came up with error "Repair needed..." after a month of use
3. I did a restore of the firmware to 1.1.4 using itunes.
4. It got stuck with error 1011.
5. Booted using ibrikr 0.91
6. Tried using ziphone to jailbreak and unlock, it got stuck at "flashing bootloader"
7. Restored again to 1.1.4 using itunes
8. Booted using ibrikr 0.91
9. Jailbroken and activated using iliberty+
10. Phone still shows "Repair needed..." There is no signal, wifi, bluetooth.

I have not taken any other step at the moment. From forums it looks like the baseband is corrupt..

Before i had the "repair needed" error, the iphone once hanged for about 2 hours. I got it to wake up when i connected the power supply. Then once it came up with error "repair needed..." but the phone managed to fix itself after it was drained of the battery over night.

There is no noticeable physical damage on phone. It had been dropped on carpet once nowhere else. I used silicon case for the phone for a few days. I am living in New Zealand and parts are not easily available..

My question is what step should i take next? thanks for your time..

most of the time "repair Needed" it's a baseband problem error.

I sugest 2 things:

1- Never use ziphone again (it's causing a lot of people a lot of problems).
2- if you used ziphone do it all you must be on BL 3.9, what you need to do is reflash your baseband to latest version 04.04.05_G ( there is a payload to do this on iliberty+, you just need to download it).

after that restore again with itunes (put your phone in DFU mode)

Jailbreak, activate with iliberty, download Bootneuter from installer and upgrade back your BL to 4.6 Neuter it and unlock it.

You should be fine after that

please tell us,, did u restore to 1.1.4 in DFU or recovery mode..

thx before

Hi Saoran. I did a restore by holding the home button so I believe that is recovery mode. thanks jsalva i will try your steps after doing some research...

Hi jsalva. Reflash baseband to 04.04.05_G did not work. I ran iliberty+ with the payload and its stuck at "Checking baseband version..."

Have you try using bootneuter to upgrade your BL back to 4.6?

Look for my post in this thread for a solution http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/show...t=40551&page=4

I tied pwnage and used bootneuter. The bootneuter gets stuck on "determing current settings"... any other suggestions? should i remove the baseband before trying bootneuter?
