Hi there,

yesterday I tried after FW 3.1.2 to JB and Unlock my 2G 8GB with Blackra1n and Bootneuer. Everything went fine without any error.

Bootneuter asked me to reboot after flashing was successfully.

After the reeboot I had no Carrier and no WIFI.

If I now restart the Bootneuter, it says "couldn't communicate to comm..." and it ends. If I reboot and retry it stucks at "determinig.... setting".

I tried to downgrade with Itunes (9.02 on Windows7 HE) it stops with error 23. Also DFU mode is not working. In other Forums they say that I have damaged my board.
If yes which board is damaged? Logic Board or the communication board?

Or is there anything you would suggest me to do before sending for repair.

Thanks...

Had you unlocked before? with any other unlock tools in the past.

What did you choose in bootneuter?

Your commboard is the one with the problem. Not guaranteed that it is permanently damaged although it is possible.

The general solution is to downgrade to OS 1.x (some say 1.1.4 is enough, others go all the way back to 1.0.2) and erase the baseband then flash it again. If this does not work then your baseband bootloader is damaged.

You should downgrade your iTunes to an older version 7.6 or earlier to restore to OS 1.x more successfully.

try this thread http://www.hackint0sh.org/f136/34713.htm

No, this was the first try.

What did you choose in bootneuter?

I updated the phone to FW 3.1.2 (7D11) via Itunes.
Than started Blackra1n, cydia bootneuter etc. The standard procedure.

I used Bootneuter V2.1 with the following settings:
Bootloader
Settings: 4.6
Neuter: on
FakeBlank: on
Baseband
Unlock: on

than I choose "flash". After fkashing was finished It rebooted. This is it.
Device starts without any problems but no carrier, no WIFI no blootooth no sound.

I have reseted the network settings but this has also not solved the problem.

If I now try to restore the phone via Itues(9.02) it stops with error 23 and the devices stucks in the apple update logo. I tried a lot of versions but all with the same error 23.

I installed I tunes 7.5 on an other Windows7 PC. But Itunes tells me "This Iphone can not be use because it needs software which is not installed. Uninstall Itunes and reinstall it to the this software..."

Code:

You should downgrade your iTunes to an older version 7.6 or earlier to restore to OS 1.x more successfully.

OK I will try and let you know. Thanks.

Just downloaded installed Itunes 7.6. Got again the message "This Iphone can not be use because it needs software which is not installed. Uninstall Itunes and reinstall it to the this software..." I downloaded Itunes 8.2 and installed and rerun the FW update. It stopped with error 1600

Then it stops.

Your mistake was either changing 3.9 to 4.6 and/or setting fakeblank to on.

Fakeblank is only really useful for fixing some specific problems or if you want to hack with your baseband. It is not required for general unlock.

I honestly don't know how far back you can go with iTunes versions on Windows 7. I have tested windows 7 x64 and 8.1.1, this allowed a 100% error free downgrade from OS 3.1.2 to OS 2.2.2 but I have not tried going back further. My guess is that it works at least as far back as iTunes 7.6.1 but I have not tested it.

You really do need to go backwards from iTunes 8.2 to get anywhere with both flashing older versions of the iTunes OS and also using older tools designed for OS 1.x. The reason for this is that Apple changed the protocol used to communicate between iTunes and the iPhone with iTunes 8.2 so the older tools will definitely not work with anything newer than iTunes 8.1.1.

This means removing the Apple Mobile Device software as well as iTunes and then restarting. After that you can install an older version of iTunes.

I would recommend you use iLiberty+ to run the required payloads. The best suggestion I have seen for fixing your specific problem is to erase the baseband and then this will allow the corrupt bootloader to be reloaded. This needs to be done under OS 1.x
Use this guide as a starting point.
http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=849

You need to download additional payloads. The link in iLiberty is old for the payloads.

Code:

Q: I’m getting the error “Error on: http://iLiberty.zjlotto.com/repo.plist (10060: )”, now what?
A: It’s because I didn’t use that domain any more so the host name resolving failed for sure. To overcome, change your repo URL (in Settings menu) to this: http://iLiberty.insideiphone.com/repo.plist and it should work again.

Try each of the following payloads in this order: (of course you probably need to also include jailbreak and activate payloads each time so you can test to see if the problem is fixed).

Fix for No Signal, No Wifi, No Bluetooth

Erase baseband (BL3.9 only)
Downgrade bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9FB
Reflash baseband to version 04.04.05_G (BL3.9 only)

Many thanks for your efforts Olethros.

So, you think the key is FW downgrading to 1.x?

I tried I tunes 7.5, 7.6,(now on a WIN XP Home PC) without success.
Itunes 7,5 and 7,6 gives me always this message:

"This Iphone can not be used because it needs software which is not installed. Uninstall Itunes and reinstall it to get this software..." any ideas how to solve this? Am I using a wrong IPSW file? Have you got a link where I can download your suggested FW files?

Thanks

You need to get the direct link for an old 1.x firmware from here. Firmware - The iPhone Wiki

You must put your iPhone into dfu mode to allow it to be downgraded.
iClarified - iPhone - How to Put an iPhone Into DFU Mode

Once itunes detects your iphone in dfu mode it will offer only the option to restore (update will be greyed out) Shift-click restore in iTunes (option click on mac) to get the option to browse for the firmware ipsw you downloaded earlier. You may get 16xx errors during downgrade, if they come near the end of the downgrade, this is because the baseband part of the downgrade did not work. As you are planning on erasing the baseband this error can be ignored.

It worked... you've done it Olethros.... Many Thanks.

What I did was (this is very important):

Installed Itunes 7.5.02 on a clean XP prof. PC. Clean PC is a PC where Itunes was never installed.

Than I switched into DFU mode...FW update was 1.1.4. possible without any error 23 or 1600.

After that the rest was easy... update to FW 3.1.2 and do the same procedure again with blackra1n, cydia and bootneuter.

And this time as you said I did NOT changed the Bootloader to 4.6. and switched OFF Fakeblank ... and than Flash...

Now everything is OK.

Thanks... Fantastic job.

Hi,

I'm very new to Iphone, as I have just recently converted from BB bold.
I just got a refurb 8GB 3G (5.11.07) and installed blackra1n on it yesterday.
Ever since I get no sound and may have lost 3G as it doesn't appear at the top of the phone next to ATT. WIFI seems to work OK.

Any piece of advise, as to how this can be fixed, if at all possible? I reset all settings, but no go.
