im not really sure if this is where i can ask for help but hopefully it is..im not quite sure what i did wrong, the phone was unlocked with anysim when it was on 1.0.2 then it was accidentally updated..i tried using one of those scripts to re-virginize it..i went through with the following instructions: virginator 0.3 --by benanzo This script gives you the option to just backup your seczone, or backup and re-virginize. It is a completely automated method to re-virginize your baseband. All credit goes to the iPhone Elite dev team. HOW TO: 1) Download the verginizer pack here: http://rapidshare.com/files/64647223/virginizer_pack.zip.html 2) Unzip it. This will create a directory called "virginizer_pack" 3)) Put the file "virginator.sh" into the "verginizer_pack" directory. 4) Copy the "verginizer_pack" directory to your iPhone. s5) Use MobileTerminal or SSH to change to the "virginizer_pack" directory. 6) Give "virginator.sh" permission to execute: ./chmod +x virginator.sh 7) Execute virginator.sh and follow the prompts. ./virginator.sh If errors occur they will be saved in "error.log" in the virginizer_pack directory. after doing all of that i thought i had it..it went through right until the very end sumthing to do with bbupdater messed up and this is what i got in the error log: ================== ERROR: There was a problem with virginizing. ERROR: The status return was different than expected. ERROR: The following is the current output of "bbupdater -v": ---------- Resetting target... pinging the baseband... issuing +xgendata... firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G eep version: EEP_VERSION:207 eep revision: EEP_REVISION:7 bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2 Done ---------- ERROR: It should be: ---------- Resetting target... pinging the baseband... baseband unresponsive to pinging Done ---------- ERROR: Please visit: ERROR: http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/RevirginizingTool ================== and yeah thts exactly why im here..so please someone even if this is not the place i can ask for help, please email me back at ak47x101@hotmail.com ..ive tried looking for solutions elsewhere but cant find a single thing so maybe im the first with the problem? who knows..but please help..oh and btw i did it twice, in between which i mesesd up the phone and had to like re-jailbreak it and yeah so im sitting here the phones fine but its still not virginized so yeah..please help email me back at ak47x101@hotmail.com |

I think you must first downgrade baseband from 4.01.13 to 3.14. Guide can be found at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband. |

HI, I had the same problem and my Phone was always in "no service" state so I made a little analysys. The script fails because the iUnlock call in virginize() is not able to do the work. I fixed the problem with the following steps: 1) Copied Ierase from pc into virginezer_pack directory on iphone On the Iphone virginezed_pack dir i did: Launchtl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist (In my case i got a "no such process" error but the goal was to be sure comm was not running) The script fails because the iUnlock call in virginize() is not able to do the work. I fixed the problem with the following steps: 1) Copied Ierase from pc into virginezer_pack directory on iphone On the Iphone virginezed_pack dir i did: A) Launchtl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist (In my case i got a "no such process" error but the goal was to be sure comm was not running) B) cp 401secpack into secpack (not the 301secpack! used by ierase cmd) C) chmod a+x ierase D) ./ierase E) ./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls eliteloader.bin F) ./bbupdate -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (may be is not required but i did) G) ./virginator.sh The error message form the script disappeared and "no service" changet to signal strengh indicator... I hope thi can help you Many thanks to the team! |

Yeah, I did the same like polliccio. But my iPhone have no modem firmware before. It meant my iPhone have no IMEI, no WIFI, no Bluetooth, no sound. When i run ./iUnlock it show: Dumping: A03FA000-A03FC000 16(Resource busy) Unable to create "/usr/.../seczone.backup" I copy ieraser to /usr/bin, run "Launchtl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist", turn off iPhone then turn on again, do step from D to G like polliccio: D) ./ierase E) ./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls eliteloader.bin F) ./bbupdate -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (may be is not required but i did) G) ./virginator.sh - I get warning FW not equal But OK I do restore software again to 1.0.2 My iphone work with WIFI, bluetooth but the EMEI still begin with 0046... I upgrade to 1.1.1 (maybe you no need) Downgrade again to 1.0.2 Then, do ./virginator again Now, it show: FW equal My iPhone alive gain after 1 week totally dead! :)Many thanks |

Yes I see what the problem is. There's no 401secpack being used in virginator.sh for iUnlock to fix a 4.0.1 baseband so the iUnlock command will fail without stopping the script. This means that when virginator.sh checks the baseband after virginizing it will report that error since nothing was actually done to the BB. The above steps should fix it, as well as downgrading to 3.14 prior to running virginator.sh. I'll update virginator.sh to check BB version and load the appropriate secpack prior to virginizing. |

polliccio, Could you just take a look at your fix and confirm for me that your code is accurate? I'm a bit of a noobie and the Terminal isn't recognizing the command "Launchtl". Is "1" the letter or the number or a typo? Additionally, when you write "ierase" I assume that means "ieraser" and not some other application, yes? Once again, I just want to make sure I'm accurate. Lastly, when you wrote "cp 401secpack into secpack", is that in the Virginizer_Pack directory or somewhere else because I don't have the secpack file in my directory. Any advice or light you all can shine my way will go a long way in allowing me to recover my much appreciated and used iPhone. Thanks a great deal. |

Not Launchtl, but launchctl - meaning launch control, that is why ctl. |

Automated Virginizer -------------------- 1. using Installer, add http://i.unlock.no as a source using Wi-Fi on the iPhone 2. Once installed, under UNLOCKING TOOLS category use "The Virginizer" depending on the version you want to downgrade your baseband. |
