Maike, I had exactly the same problem with the Bootneuter sliders being greyed out? Did you manage to come to any solution?

I am having the exact same problem with bootneuter getting stuck AFTER detecting current settings, which in my case are slightly different(4.6/neuter/unlock = true. Fakeblank = false). I am trying to restore my 1st gen iphone to oob state to take it back for a small dead zone repair and have tried restoring to 2.2 factory settings through itunes, and then pwning it time and time again with different options in the custom ipsw build but I haven't been able to get bootneuter to allow me to change any settings. Everything else on the phone works just fine, except when I go into bootneuter and the phone freezes and then it restarts back to normal. I have not used any other tools on the phone besides pwnage hoping I could reverse the changes if something like this happened. If anyone has seen a post with an answer for this, or could shed some light on the issue please reply.

i had a similar problem here regarding bootneuter..

i did DFU and quickpwn to 2.2 afterthat.and the Bootneuter icons showed up on my dock.but,my wifi cant be detected..so,i reformat again.this time,no bootNeuter icon,but when i restarted my iphone the bootneuter came out and did things automatically.but i realized it showed 4.6/Neuter but off fakeBlank..since then,my iphone showed "no service" and no wi-fi at all..other than that was ok..

Any ideas? Thanks

Hi!

Recently, BootNeuter got updated, here you have important information about its usage.

Important Information:

==> Do not close BootNeuter while flashing. Sometimes it takes longer
than expected, but that is just fine. If you close it or crash it, you will have serious
troubles.
==> Do not manipulate your iPhone while BootNeuter its working. Sometimes
errors happen and people press buttons accidentally.
==> Uninstall BootNeuter when you're done with it. Friends always take risks
without knowing what would happen, and when they realize what's going on, they
just close the application. There you have, a bricked iPhone.

Recommendations:

==> If you forgot to set autolock to never, and iPhone locks, turn on the screen
then you should see the progress, it is still working, you can keep it
alive by pressing the volume button or the silence/ring switch, do not crash the app and
do not try to close it. The app is still working.
==> BootNeuter is not a game, if you do something wrong, your iPhone will pay it.
==> If your iPhone is working fine, there is no need to use it.
==> (you say "You're trying to scare me, iPhone can't be permanently bricked") I say,
check the Software Unlock forum for a thread about the 1011 error. There are
some iPhones that are bricked and there is no solution for them.


If you need further help, don't mind about sending me a PM.


<------- Helps? Thumbs up please!

Thinking that the "up to 2 minutes" warning should be changed. Sometimes this forum isn't there to help us newbies.

hi,

i know its much to ask, but could you detail the steps you took "to hell and back" as you say ? ;) alot of people here seem to have gone that route but nobody really has said how to recover even just to 1.1.4 in a step by step manner.

would really appreciate it!

O:) :)
