3.- restored 2.0 beta 8, got error 1600
4.- now I just tried to restore again but now it was in recovery mode, and voila it succesfully restored into beta 8. NO ERROR.

While trying to restored 2.0 beta 8 from DFU Mode the screen turned white.... any clue ?

Thanks

That's right, it has to turn white, you did it well.

@Izzard

alright, so now I just gotta wait for the release of YiPhone or the pwnage tool?
I need to know because right now im in Dallas,tx and Im leaving the 27 of this month and if this doesn't get fixed I could send it back to guarantee to get a new one... of course I would have to un-unlock it first but I hope that's not a problem.

Thank in advance.

PS.- My itunes 7.7 is going to expire in 28 hours is that a problem?

Well yeah. Your phone is working, you just don't have a contract for it. If it's like mine then you cannot now downgrade to 1.1.4 no matter what tricks you try.

As for iTunes expiring: forget the leaked 7.7 and beta firmware. You can flash your phone with the official release of 7.7 and the official final firmware.

I am just happy that somone has finally confirmed my solution works!

Im goin to try!!!! 2 pieces dead (bfore doin your solution)

Alright!!! so right Im in the activation screen (emergency call screen) of 2.0 5a347
Im gonna downgrade to 1.1.4 and it should work my wifi now?

ps. remember that I never had the 1011 issue. but thanks Izzard!!!

I'll post my results later

OMG! My wifi was back, It detected my network =) but it automatically rebooted and I checked again in settings... crap, no wifi again ! by the way Im in 1.1.4 with 2.0 baseband 4.05.04_G ..any suggestions?

Yes: forget about 1.1.4. Use 2.0

a) define "did not work".

b) did you try a second time, as per above?

not to hijack the thread, but I have a partial solution:

I had no wifi or bluetooth (greyed) and bad IMEI. It could register to a network if I used ziphone to unlock/activate/jailbreak but no wifi.

To fix the wifi, i used dev team's pwnage tool and neutered it and fakeblanked it. Also updated to the 4.6BL ( this is a 1.0.2 iphone). Then, I used the wifi fix tool that's on the dev team wiki and installed that (I know it's a pain since there is no "wifi" to transport the files over, but search around, there's a method using a package someone made specifically for this using iliberty/ilibertyx) and viola, wifi/bluetooth is fixed.

Bad IMEI still. just unblanked/neutered, restored to default firmware, still bad.

BTW: IF YOU DO FIX YOUR WIFI AND CAN CONNECT (but no IP from DHCP) do a RESET ALL SETTINGS on your iphone. It fixed it!

So, I have a, for all intents and purposes, working iphone (just bad locked down imei). Going to try ziphone to "change" my imei to the correct one.........

UPDATE: After doing the above and then running ziphone, I successfully changed my IMEI, my phone is now fully "unbricked" with matching IMEI !

So, here are the steps:
1) used dev team, pwn the phone, neutered and fakeblanked it (4.6BL).
2) used iLiberty and installed dev team wifi fix (found on their wiki). Rebooted, wifi & bluetooth worked! No IP, reset all settings on iphone in prefs., all fixed!
3) used dev team's bootneuter tool to unblank, unneuter and downgrade baseband back to 3.9
4) entered recovery mode, restored to Apple's 1.1.4 firmware
5) used ziphone, ran jailbreak/activate/unlock, everything working but bad IMEI still
6) used ziphone and in advanced tab selected "unlock" and selected "change iphone imei". Entered correct IMEI from back of phone.
7) success! imei correct, bluetooth working, wifi working. phone unlocked.

great, now i have 2 iphones! I guess it can be......my backup phone?
