The iphone 2g was bricked after procedure of unlocking with wrong tools(error 23/no imei/etc). Now I was able to bring it back on firmware v3.0 and on settings the informations are ok:

Wifi: Ok
Bluetooth: Ok
Imei: Ok
Modem: 04.05.04_G

But no operator signal/wifi.

I think the baseband or bootloader are corrupted because When I try to unlock using Redsn0w, The procedure stars and bootneuter shows that my bootloader options already matched my current settings so flashed only baseband, but after sometime It says "Baseband Flash Failed" with error code 46.

Is any there a procedure for fix the baseband or bootloader w/o kiphone (doesn't work)?

iTunes restore Error 23 can only be fixed by hardware reflashing on the 2G iPhone. There is no software fix for that restore error.

so are iPhone stores the only place where hardware re-flashing can be done? where I am from they have a strange arrangement here with the telcos, so that apple stores don't even service iPhones.

No hardware re-flashing is done in non official repair shops where skilled technicians remove the baseband chip, reprogram it with an older baseband bootloader and/or baseband.

No official iPhone store will do more than replace the screen (most just replace the whole iPhone). They simply are not set up to do any hardware repairs.

its been 24 hours that i have tried to restore a 2g iPhone.

i think i used every tool available that was ever published

redsn0w
ziphone
iliberty

even to tried to downgrade the baseband of the frigin' thing! did not work.
i have looked at every help thread ever.

here is the list of errors that i have encountered..

the i phone software could not be restored (23)

i patched the damn iTunesMobileDevice.dll using 9.0.2 itunes
and still i cant restore.

i even found a way to duplicate the iH8sn0w effect to restore a custom firmware but then i got..

"iPhone cant make or receive calls" notification.

the WiFi shows "No Wifi" so i cant download the BootNeuter

i tried to downgrade to 1.1.4 firmware with KiPhone but got the "waiting for data.."

finally the iphone is in recovery mode i cant restore it
let alone the redsn0w gets stuck while i try to run it...

id be happy to give out more details

just respond.

tnx

okay..
after a while i got...

there is no baseband on the iphone

im trying to use KiPhone to install it...

but i cant jailbreak or activate the device, let alone unlock it.

(i get the (1011) error from itunes 7.5)

finally after it works it runs until i get the message

"for instructions to find this file see http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com/. waiting for data..."

the blog is closed down!!!

and i have no idea what to do with this file "secpack"

i have the correct one for sure.


PLEASE HELP!!!

Forget it. It's s hardware thing and can't be repaired this way. Try to get a used logic and commboard and replace them, on a 2G this is cheaper then manually reprogram the baseband.
