the easiest solution to
0049 imei,
no imei,
repair needed or
any other bricked situation...

is going to 1.1.3 using itunes....

BUT WAIT!!!

it works only for

any 1.1.1 below or
1.1.2otb after testpoint and iunew...(= 3.9BL) in HW unlock

if your iphone is in any situation above.... proceed....

if not...you can still upgrade your bricked iphone to 1.1.3 and use it as fancy ipod...and wait till unlock....at least...it's not bricked anymore.........

How to...put your at&t sim back

1- put in restore mode and upgrade to 1.1.3 using itunes.

2- In 1.1.3 put itunes in dfu mode to downgrade using itunes

3- Dfu mode
a. connect iphone in itunes and wait till iphone logo in itunes left bar
b. hold home and power til iphone icon in itunes is gone and release power and keep home pressed till itunes recognizes iphone again
c. If you do not put in dfu mode itunes will extract the firmware and give you an error”1
d. do the shift or alt+restore to 1.1.1 and after restore, ignore errors

4- your iphone will be stuck in recovery mode

a. Mac
i. Eject iphone from itunes
ii. Quit itunes
iii. Run independence it will detect iphone in recovery mode and status will blank and reconnect.
iv. Wait…
v. It should kick the restore mode out..(1.1.2 jailbreak reboot doesn’t work…)
vi. Didn’t work? Try restoring 1.1.1 again…it worked for me.

b. windows.
i. Just run apptapinstaller.exe

5- jailbreak as usual
a. if jailbreakme.com doesn’t work try instead i.unlock.no in safari

6- at this point your iphone is bootloader 3.9, FW 1.1.1 and baseband 04.03.13

7- install

repair baseband from hackthatphone.com/1.xml in installer

install

1.1.3>1.0.2 downgrader

at the sleepers.net/iphonerepo in installer (bigboss beta)

launch terminal....(install term-vt100 in installer....)

cd /usr/bin
restorebb

close terminal

check baseband version - should be 03.14.08

if not
try restoring to 1.0.2 firmware and repeating the baseband downgrade process again (step 7)

if ok
Terminal again, and enter the following:

cd /usr/bin
virginize


9- after it finishes…restore to 1.1.1 again….

10- Jailbreak…..

11- You can unlock using 1.1.1 anysim here….or

12- Oktoprep and UPGRADE!!!! to 1.1.2 and jailbreak using 1.1.2 jailbreak…and anysim1.2.1…(don’t forget the airplane mode…)


Known issues…

backspace error in terminal install bsd 2.0 fix in bigboss...sleepers.net/iphonerepo

Errors after restore…ignore it….

Error in restore right after extract…aka error “1” put in efu mode to restore…read above

Independence doesn’t kick out from recovery….follow….eject iphone>quit itunes> open independence wait 1 minute….still in recovery? Restore 1.1.1 again….

Hope it helped….post results…..it worked in 3 bricked iphones…

one in 3.9 bootloader, now is fully functional….

One 1.1.2otb bricked after testpoint….fully finctional…

And sadly the other 1.1.2otb before TP……expensive ipod….

Please post your results!!!!

Greetings from brazil!

1.1.3 > 1.0.2 is in bigboss beta...

daqui portugal... cumprimentos!


o meu iphone é estranho, comprei em londres e era 1.1.2 OTB, mas o problema dele foi sempre o mesmo, em 1.1.1, ou mesmo em 1.0.2, não consigo ligar a nenhuma rede que não seja na gama de ip 169.254.xxx.xxx que é a rede Mac por defeito, logo só consigo ligar ao meu Mac...

Agora já estou com o BL3.9 depois de HW unlock, mas nunca consigo ter wifi para outras redes fora da gama que referi.

Você tem alguma sugestão para este problema?

Obrigado.

i have problem with this:

my activation screen is frozen.. i mean frozen is the only "slide for emergency". .... slide to power off is working... phone is 1.1.2. otb

i'm wondering is this method is working in my case. any answer will bi appreciated.
thank you!

I have bricked 1.1.2 otb after hw unlock and this solution doesn't work for me.
After iTunes finishes updating to 1.1.3, I can't kick iphone out of DFU. When I try to boot it using ibrickr, screen stays green.
