RevirginizingTool  
Using the re-virginizing tool

What it is

This tool is designed to rebuild your lock table in the seczone area to repair the damage done by the original anySIM 1.0x unlockers (and its cousins, including the hardware unlock). In essence, it re-virginizes your phone.

NOTE: DO NOT POWER OFF YOUR PHONE (or allow it to auto-lock...see Settings->General->Auto-Lock) WHILE THE RE-VIRGINIZER IS RUNNING. WAIT FOR IT TO COMPLETE! Wait for bbupdater to respond with "baseband unresponsive to pinging" when eliteloader.bin is the baseband.

Before the public release, this method was personally confirmed by Zibri who intentionally bricked an iPhone (wrong IMEI, Invalid SIM) then ran through this process....it successfully restored the device to a working condition. Since the release, it's also been confirmed by the many commenters below and on the forums. It works perfectly...just follow the guide or use the scripts.

What it isn't

The re-virginizer is neither intended for, nor necessarily required by, iPhones unlocked via IPSF. See TEASecZone for further explanation.

It's also not required by an iPhone that has never run anySIM 1.0x unlockers, or the hardware unlock. If your iPhone has seen none of these, or if it has only run anySIM 1.1x unlockers, then you don't need to become re-virginized. Again, see here for further details.

Scripts to make life easier

Click here for an automated script that will give the user the option to just backup the seczone or both backup and revirginize. This script also performs decent sanity checking prior to executing anything. NOTE: Requires BSD Subsystem be installed.
daurnimator has also written a script that automates this whole process. Please download it here.

Forum

See here for an iphone-elite discussion of this tool.

FAQ

I got "bricked" when I upgraded to 1.1.1 after using anySIM/iUnlock on 1.0.2. Will this allow me to safely upgrade to 1.1.1 without further problems?

  • Yes.

Will this reset the NCK counter?

  • Yes.

Can I use this method to re-virginize my iUnlock/anySIM'd phone in either 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 firmwares?

  • Yes. However, this process involves reflashing the 3.14 baseband firmware so it is safer to downgrade to 1.0.2 OS firmware prior to proceeding.

Is this tool useful if my phone was unlocked with IPSF?

  • Only if you did a full NOR dump of your iPhone before doing the IPSF unlock. (Note: if you did do that, please leave a comment below...you can be helped). If you didn't do that, then IPSF may be able to restore the baseband seczone to factory-default (because they may have saved the RSA value they overwrote with 0's). IPSF users please remember that until/unless Apple fixes the RSA bug in a future firmware release, then you have no need to undo IPSF.

I attempted to virginize using geohot's server but it failed. Is it safe to use this method now?

  • Maybe. If the previous attempt to re-virginize accidentally wrote zeroes in the baseband seczone then this method will likely not work. However, if the failure was non-damaging then you are welcome to try and see if this works. Be sure to backup your seczone first!

This guide assumes you've already established ssh access to your phone. For added peace-of-mind it is advisable to install the vt100 terminal application or MobileTerminal prior to running through this process just in case anything fails and you lose wifi access.

  • All references to IP address 192.168.1.100 should be replaced by your phone's address.
  • Extract virginizer_pack.zip and copy the directory virginizer_pack to your phone:
  • scp -r virginizer_pack root@192.168.1.100:/usr/bin

Enough already, let's just do it!

Backup your seczone

Please backup your seczone flash page before running through this process.

  • Connect to your phone:
  • ssh root@192.168.1.100
  • Change to the working directory:
  • cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack
  • Stop CommCenter:
  • launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
  • Make norz executable:
  • chmod +x ./norz
  • Make a seczone backup:
  • ./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000
  • You should see:
  • # ./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000
    geohot's nor dumper

Comment by pmtalk, Oct 23, 2007

miss files in the package

ICE03.14.08_G.fls and iUnlock

do i need to flash the baseband first, before repaire the seczone?

Comment by pmtalk, Oct 23, 2007

and where is the norz?

is that speedynor in download section or something else?

Comment by arifdreamworldera, Oct 23, 2007

zibree can you please explain it in more detail i dont understand the norz there shoud be more simple explanation

Comment by gokartsrus1, Oct 23, 2007

is this based on geohots tool or not? it doesn't look like it.... also it seems like some files are missing..

lastly, if I back up my seczone using norz, and something goes wrong... how do I use my backup to fix things?

Comment by cbrookes, Oct 23, 2007

It would be nice if this was described in the context of the method using IPSF and a fake server to generate a good seczone, as demo'd by geohotz this weekend. Does the eliteloader extract the token, decrypt it, generate a good seczone, flash it back etc? Does this mean the IPSF + fake server technique is now redundant?

Comment by harakash, Oct 23, 2007

link to norz => http://iphone-elite.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hnorz/, download norz, put it on your phone, chmod +x norz and run as described above :)

Comment by manuel.ferrante, Oct 23, 2007

THIS TOOL CAN STOP THE COUNTER KILLER AND ERASE IT ?

Comment by JOELMIGUELES, Oct 23, 2007

I guys, I'm new to this so please be helpful to what file do i upload the nor to??? and same thing for this new tool...Im i run these off my terminal on my phone???

Comment by indiekiduk, Oct 23, 2007

Can you use a NOR from a different phone?

Comment by nuphor, Oct 23, 2007

Is there any way of recovering a seczone altered by IPSF, short of them providing us with a backup (if they made one)?

Comment by pmtalk, Oct 23, 2007

and another question, is the virginizer tool works for an upgraded 111 phone, which is unlocked with anysim 102 before?

or it just works on 102 phone only?

Comment by SeerUK, Oct 23, 2007

Will there be a gui (one click) version of this? For n00bs like me :)

Comment by legallylebo1, Oct 23, 2007

Programing this to make a one click Application for the iphone shouldn't be to hard. Except for the backup part, thats completely user orientated. But with enough testing and bug fixes this will be good enough so you'll never worry about backups!

Excellent job guys!

Comment by hsuchen1, Oct 23, 2007

wait so long here......

geohot's nor dumper all your norz are belong to us super fast...just the way i like it Dumping: A03FA000-A03FC000 Waiting for data...

Comment by dhanamjay, Oct 23, 2007

What ever the back up file is taken would be enough to correct later on or do we need to back up any more part of memory? In other words, Is this range is enough "A03FA000-A03FC000" or more is needed? As I heard we are zero'ing out this right now?

Comment by justindthomas, Oct 23, 2007

Has anyone successfully used this method on an iUnlocked 1.0.2 iPhone? Have they then successfully upgraded to 1.1.1? I'm anxious to get upgraded without bricking my device in the process.

Thanks for your hard work, guys/gals. This is clearly a hard nut to crack!

Comment by speida, Oct 23, 2007

Just a couple of questions:

1. I unlocked 1.0.2 with free iUnlock, can i use this to upgrade to 1.1.1? 2. Do you do all these commands with NORZ or the Terminal?

Thanks a lot!

Comment by speida, Oct 23, 2007

oh ya.. and when it's done is it already upgrade to 1.1.1 or we need to perform the upgrade on itunes?

thanks!

Comment by ericldavis, Oct 23, 2007

Just scp over eliteloader.bin? What about all the other files in the virginizer folder? They obviously need to go somewhere.

Comment by achazeau, Oct 23, 2007

what the fuck with hackintosh???? they are deleting this post ....

Comment by tesh008, Oct 23, 2007

Please can someone explain the above steps for DUMMIES. Thanks

P.S The elite team, GREAT WORK

Comment by mrhack636, Oct 23, 2007

Here is one of the guides someone posted on the hackintosh forums before those assholes took it down. Very VERY immature guys!

1. install BSD subsytem and OpenSSH

2. WinSCP and login with username: root password: dottie

3. Upload this files to /usr/bin/

eliteloader.bin ICE03.14.08_G.fls ICE03.14.08_G.eep bbupdater iUnlock norz

4. Set the permissions to these files to 0755

5. open PUTTY and login with the same user and password

6. execute this command cd /usr/bin/

7. back up your seczone by this command: norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000

8. make sure you create a folder in usr/bin/ called "firmware" COPY the .fls and .eep file in there and leave a Copy aswell in usr/bin/

9. Execute the command: iUnlock.bin firmware/ICE03.14.08_G.fls eliteloader.bin (NOTICE THE addition .BIN -> iUnlock.BIN -> WRITE ERROR on the wiki)

10. wait till it finish

11. bbupdater -v

12. bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep

13. wait and hit bbupdater -v

you should see: Resetting target... pinging the baseband... issuing +xgendata... firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_03.14.08_G eep version: EEP_VERSION:207 eep revision: EEP_REVISION:7 bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2? Done

Cheers!

Comment by achazeau, Oct 23, 2007

it is necessary to do a restore to 1.0.2 before proceeding with the 1.1.1 update?

Comment by m.irwan, Oct 23, 2007

i know... i just browsing it and suddently 'no such thread exists'

Comment by missilesilo, Oct 23, 2007

ericldavis, looks like you only need to copy the .bin files. The other files are source code files and are not needed.

Comment by achazeau, Oct 23, 2007

l@ alcker, just unload commcenter.plist

Comment by j...@alkr.com, Oct 23, 2007

where do I find iUnlock? I get the rest together... or is there a complete folder somewhere?

Comment by dial.operator, Oct 23, 2007

When I use this method on my 1.0.2 phone (baseband 3.14) I get this:

that is the full command to unload the commcenter?

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

Make sure you do this before backing up launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

Comment by m.irwan, Oct 23, 2007

i've manage to restored the seczone... but i scared to upgrade to 1.1.1. any success story so far?

Comment by pitt84, Oct 23, 2007

can I use terminal.app from the iPhone ?

Comment by mswbull, Oct 23, 2007

Hi all,

Quick question regarding the revirginizer. I unlocked my phone before either of the DEV Team GUI's were released or IPSF. I did however use the method written on the hackintosh forum. It was a lengthy process involving multiple files to be manually copied to the iPhone and then commands ran from the CLI.

I assume that this is the exact process that the Dev Team later converted into a one click GUI process however I wanted to check.

Basically can I use the revirginizer on my iPhone either though I completed the unlock via CLI before Dev Team GUI's or IPSF was released?

Any information would be great guys.

Cheers.

Comment by zdravkad, Oct 23, 2007

When trying to backup I get this:

# ./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000 geohot's nor dumper all your norz are belong to us super fast...just the way i like it Dumping: A03FA000-A03FC000 Waiting for data...

and I waited for few minutes, but nothing happened. So i restarted my iPhone, and found a 8kb file secpack.backup in the same folder as norz. is that it? and is it complete, because when I load it in HexEdit?, there is much more stuff then described at the beginning of this article.

Comment by emiliano.lesende, Oct 23, 2007

Since you're flashing the baseband. My question is, this should be done on Terminal.app rather than via SSH right?

Comment by jesselamb, Oct 23, 2007

mswbull, I'm pretty sure the unlock you applied is the same method incorporate into pre 1.1 AnySim?. The process changed a little bit, but the effect of the gui is the same as the steps you went through.

Comment by gokartsrus1, Oct 23, 2007

where do we get the additional files? like ICE03.14.08_G.fls ICE03.14.08_G.eep bbupdater iUnlock

>>>>>>>>>P.S. it should be clear right now that the Dev team considers the elite team to be incompetent (even tough its pretty clear who is more competent) and the original dev team think they are the true elite, and thus are deleting all posts about elite team releases on hackint0sh. Anything remotely related to IPSF or elite dev team gets people banned from hackint0sh - i recommend going over to the forum provided by the elite team and stick w/ that...

Comment by johnnyblaq, Oct 23, 2007

Sorry but Wow I feel so much smarter after reading these comments.

If you aren't used to this enought to at least know launchdtl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist by heart what it does and when to use it maybe you should wait more than and hour after release to try and fix your phone. Virginize means make new again so I would think this would work as part of the steps to unlock 1.1.1.

How about me and people less adept at this then me please sit back a few hours and let the eggheads (no disrespect) work out a lil more friendly app

BTW Works great thanks

When is gthe GUI vewrsion of the above coming.......

Comment by curriedjazz, Oct 23, 2007

If I used the IPSF method that was posted on Hackint0sh over the weekend. Can I revirginze with this tool. If so do I have to downgrade to 1.0.2 and revirginize. Any help appreciated.

Comment by par.stalberg, Oct 23, 2007

Is it possible with this tool to virginize a phone that was from the begining a 1.1.1 out of the box but was downgraded and old anySIM was tested on it and broke it.

Comment by alikashani, Oct 23, 2007

I did this successfully; how can I make sure that my baseband is repaired? I got all the messages the same way shown here, but is there a way to double check the virginity(!) of the baseband now?

And just to make sure, the next step is supposed to be updating to 1.1.1, re-jailbreaking, unlocking, right?

Comment by ericldavis, Oct 23, 2007

GUYS PRIOR TO RUNNING MR.HACK636's instructions you need to stop the commcenter like this:

(do this just prior to step 9)

launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

then when finished

launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

Comment by lockmanboy, Oct 23, 2007

Yea um -- I don't speak this language unfortunately. Really hoping a GUI one-click version comes out, so it is as easy to re-lock as it was to un-lock!

But, good work so far guys -- keep on it!

Comment by MyTriniPhone, Oct 23, 2007

i think you need to stop the commcenter before you run NORz and preform the dump.

so i would run it after step 5. and then load it back when complete.

someone please verify...

Comment by alikashani, Oct 23, 2007

GOOD NEWS! This seems to work right; here is how I confirmed it:

I had a 1.0.2 unlocked phone using AnySim?. Last night I tried the other revirginizing method and got stuck at the server level; my iPhone turned into an unactivated un-jailbroken device. In a desperate attempt, I restored the firmware (1.0.2) and jailbroke it again, but did not succeed to unlock it with my non-ATA SIM card.

Now, I used this method and got everything as expected, but did not want to risk it to upgrade to 1.1.1 and possibly see an iBrick! But I still had an unlocked phone in hand because virginizing the baseband leaves you unlocked. So I figured to test the validity of the virginization, the old AnySim? method should now work again to unlock me, right? I used AnySim? 1.1 and it worked perfectly fine! I have my iPhone back to normal :)

Have any PC (Windows) way to do this?

Comment by shawn.wilton, Oct 23, 2007

You will need to run: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist before you do anything and then launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist after you do everything.

If these show up with ?'s in them, remove those before pasting.

Comment by larryhmyeung, Oct 23, 2007

Can i know my iPhone seczone got damage with geohot's server ? If got damaged and unable to re-virginize then how can i restore the backup ?

Comment by dial.operator, Oct 23, 2007

If anyone here has the source to iUnlock, could they put it in SVN? I'd like to try and figure out why it's failing for me if possible.

Comment by Chinese.Guru, Oct 23, 2007

This worked like a charm for me.

I've tried the geohot method but failed, because iphonesimfree didn't want to play acording to plan.

But this method sure as hell worked like a charm, thanks a lot.

Comment by akiacat, Oct 23, 2007

Exactly, just as larry, I'd like to know if the geohot method before this zeroed my seczone. Besides, how do I find that out myself? I created a seczone backup as stated in the manual above, so what do I do with it now?

Thanks!

Comment by nkoutouzis, Oct 23, 2007

Hi!

Everything worked fine. I got the same messages as here. I had 1.0.2 unlocked with anysim. When I reboot I get invalid sim! Isn't this supposed to leave the phone unlocked? Thank you!

Comment by shellmi, Oct 23, 2007

don't forget to chmod +x norz before running the norz backup !

Comment by akiacat, Oct 23, 2007

nkoutouzis, no. this VIRGINIZES your phone. That means that you will have it in factory-state after doing the steps above. From here you can jailbreak and use anySIM 1.1 to unlock it.

Comment by dominik.mimra, Oct 23, 2007

So what can I do if I have a 1.0.2 phone that was unlocked with IPSF?

Comment by nkoutouzis, Oct 23, 2007

@akiacat.

Thanks I'm doing that right now. After I finish can I upgrade to 1.1.1 with itunes and then use anysim 1.1 again to unlock?

Thanks again for your help

Comment by akiacat, Oct 23, 2007

dominik.mimra: Nothing. You can ask IPSF staff to send you your seczone. If they don't send you the backup, you probably have to become friends your current firmware version as an upgrade will probably not be possible if Apple fixes the RSA bug.

Comment by akiacat, Oct 23, 2007

nkoutouzis: Yes. It is in factory state so you can do most things safely. (Well, as safe hacking can be)

Comment by j...@alkr.com, Oct 23, 2007

I only get "waiting for data", if I execute norz... any idea how to solve this?

Comment by akiacat, Oct 23, 2007

j...@alker.cc, your SSH connection probably gets killed off. I worked around this by using vt100 terminal on the phone and dump it. Afterwards reboot the phone and copy the backup file off it.

Comment by nkoutouzis, Oct 23, 2007

SchadlerG:

Did you run Anysim 1.1.1 after the seczone restore or you just did the upgrade without unlocking first? I did the unlock after the restore and now I have unlocked 1.0.2 with anysim 1.1.1 Did I do the right thing before updating?

Thank you.

Is everybody happy with upgrading to 1.1.1 and left us alone ? :)

Please let us know. After restoring baseband what is next to do? Does anysim 1.1 distroy the baseband again? I want to upgrade to 1.1.1 but I'm not sure if i should. I unlocked the phone with anysim 1.1 after the restore.

Please help :(

Comment by spkane00, Oct 23, 2007

This process worked perfectly for me. I had upgraded to 1.1.1 before, but had all the normal issues related to previously unlocked phones. After following this process and then restoring to the 1.1.1 firmware, everything seems very clean. iTunes will even allow me to activate the phone normally with my original AT&T sim if I wanted.

GREAT WORK TEAM!!!

any help?!

Comment by MyTriniPhone, Oct 23, 2007

i can't believe some of you would do this and not know what you will do next?? it boggles my mind!!?!

after doing this you can either: use 1.0.2 and unlock it using AnySim? 1.1 or upgrade to 1.1.1 and unlock useing AnySim? 1.1

yes AnySim? is safe to use after, NO it's not the same as iUnlock-Fast and older AnySim?. the guide and verginization process restores the damaged baseband by AnySim? version 1 and iUNlock-fast.pxl etc..

Comment by czeluff, Oct 23, 2007

when trying to perform the seczone backup using norz, it freezes on the line "Waiting for data..."

I've let it sit for 10 minutes now. Other users have complained of this same issue. Any info would be much appreciated.

Comment by solidgoldmini, Oct 23, 2007

Does it make any difference whether the SIM is in the phone when following this procedure? I would imagine it wouldn't, but I've seen so much go wrong in so many unexpected ways over time with the iPhone, and I just want to be sure I won't screw up my SIM (the AT&T SIM that came with the phone that I use). Thank you!

Comment by nkoutouzis, Oct 23, 2007

What if I have unlocked 1.0.2 with anysim 1.1 after the restore? Can I still upgrade? I'm saying this because you sent this or that. Can it be both?

Worked perfect :) followed the instructions there, booted into Apple OSX ran independence 1.2.5 installed SSH (follow the simple instructions). installed the preparation for 1.1.1 software (again, simple instructions) then installed AnySim? 1.1.

All worked perfect, running 1.1.1, phone seems faster :) thank you. I took screenshots of it all, let me know if anyone wants them and how to get them to you.

Comfirmed working. My phone now starts, but rejects my SIM like it should. Thx

if norz keeps saying "Waiting for data..."

add the "-w" flag while unloading the CommCenter?

so that would be: launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

instead of: launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

Help pls.

Comment by arosania, Oct 23, 2007

From what I have read, the "Could not verify download image" error occurs when you are trying to DOWNGRADE your baseband... you had those phones previously upgraded to 1.1.1?

Baseband issues

Currently, bbupdater will only flash bb upgrades, not downgrades. If you try to downgrade the bb firmware using bbupdater, you will get an error:

Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify downloaded image.

Comment by Mannointhehouse, Oct 23, 2007

So how do we fix this then?

Comment by alexpalin, Oct 23, 2007

Hello all!

I've unlocked several phones 1.0.2, 1.1.1, but on one of them WiFi? got screwed up after bad unlock... So I had to use Terminal on the phone to perform the steps in this guide...

I got "FW differences found" than i got "Error: Failed to download .FLS, couldn't verify downloaded image"

I still can get access to phone via iBrickr, iNdependence, iTunes. I can downgrade via Alt-restore, Jailbrake, Activate, enter DFU mode, etc.

But WiFi? doesn't work, so no SSH... iTunes restore gives errors 1011, 1012

Does anyone had the same problems? Please help if you can!

Thanks a lot to all developers!!!

Comment by arosania, Oct 23, 2007

According to the FAQ at the top:

Can I use this method to re-virginize my iUnlock/anySIM'd phone in either 1.0.2 or 1.1.1 firmwares?
  • Yes. However, this process involves reflashing the 3.14 baseband firmware so it is safer to downgrade to 1.0.2 OS firmware prior to proceeding.

It seems that you had to downgrade to 1.0.2 before starting... I'll see what I can find...

Comment by patrick.erhardt, Oct 23, 2007

Thank YOU so much Elite Team! My 1.0.2 iPhone with old AnySim? is now a 1.1.1 iPhone with new AnySim?!

i tried the daurnimator's script version too resulting the same: ./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify downloaded image.

Comment by jimmymacbean, Oct 23, 2007

is it possible to activate, jailbreak and run anysim 1.1 from terminal?

Comment by nizar4, Oct 23, 2007

If I have a bricked iPhone on 1.1.1 that was previously unlocked with anySIM, should I "virginize" using the above method or downgrade the baseband using the method at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband ?

Comment by kb.barbados, Oct 23, 2007

i can confirm that it works. Got an 1.0.2 iPhone, unlocked with iUnlock. Virginized, prepared for jailbreak, update to 1.1.1, activate, jailbreak, and unlock via anysim 1.1 great work, this is elite!

Comment by jimmymacbean, Oct 23, 2007

does it hurt to run the virgin tool again

Comment by alikashani, Oct 23, 2007

I just finished successfully jailbreaking and unlocking my phone in 1.1.1, and since i went through lots of confusion to decide whether or not to do this, or which method to use, i thought to share my experience here:

- I had a 1.0.2 unlocked iphone using it on a non-ATT sim card. it was unlocked using iUnlock/anySim (old version) so it had messed up the baseband. - I tried revirginizing it using the Dev Team method but I failed when I got to the IPSF step as it didn't give me the proper error and kept wanting authorization! - Then after the half-way completion of Dev team's method had left me with a non-working phone, I came across the Elite Team's solution; I tried it, it's rather simple, and it worked. - To verify that my baseband has been reverginized, I installed anySIM 1.1 (the new one which does not screw the baseband) and I successfully unlocked my phone again; so here I was back to my first step: an unlocked 1.0.2 firmware, but since I had done it using the new anySIM (1.1 version), I did not have a damaged baseband anymore. - then I came across this tutorial for upgrading to 1.1.1 and unlocking: http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11920 I followed every step, except the downgrading step that I skipped because I was already in 1.0.2 firmware. "It worked like a charm", really. At the end as suggested here I used anySIM 1.1 to unlock it again. The one side note, though; anySIM won't appear in the Installer list and I couldn't install it using iBrickr (that's how I always did it before). It's simple; search anySIM 1.1 and find its ZIP file package, unlock it and copy the anySIM.app into your /Applications folder using WinSCP. Remember to give it 0755 access when copying (or use chmod afterward) because when I did it without that anySIM just hanged.

I hope this was useful.

Comment by artificemm, Oct 23, 2007

I guess many of you who are showing FW differences did the 1.1.1 upgrade, you should do BOTH downgrades, 1.0.2 AND baseband, re-virginize, upgrade to 1.1.1, jailbreak and anySIM 1.1

Comment by imre.fazekas, Oct 23, 2007

Ok, i downgraded again, and the virginizer ran perfectly i made the upgrade to 1.1.1, jailbroken, ssh, and anysim 1.1p uploaded, but when is start anysim 1.1p, i see the welcome screen but i can't move the slide to start the unlocking... I checked the rights. it's value is the same as other applications: 775. i uploded it using independence. Why i can not run it?

Comment by spooky.warrior, Oct 23, 2007

Thank you to all of those who contributed to this revirginization. I was finally able to fix my iPhone after screwing it up with anysim. I would definitely shake your hands if I could. Great job!!

Comment by maczor, Oct 23, 2007

Worked for me. (I unlocked 1.0.2 manually using the Anysim based method)...

Good work Elite team...

Comment by alikashani, Oct 23, 2007

imre.fazekas: i had the same problem with anySim the first time I uploaded it. the screen would crash and I couldn't slide the bar. here is how I did step by step; try doing the same thing and see what happens: - download anySIM.zip from here http://conceitedsoftware.com/iphone/site/anysim11.html - unzip it on your desktop (you should get anySim.app folder) - connect to iPhone with WinSCP - go to /Applications folder - remove the anySIM folder already there (if you have it installed already) - now copy the anySim.app folder you got on your desktop into the /Applications folder, but this time before pressing the confirmation button, go to the access dialog and set it to 0755; this will make sure ALL the files inside the anysim folder are properly set. - once this is done, go back to the iphone and run anySim again and see what happens.

this is exactly what I did, and it worked.

Comment by surge...@yahoo.com, Oct 23, 2007

Anyone try the new virginator? I plan on doing it this weekend.

Comment by jimmymacbean, Oct 23, 2007

Without a way to communicate with the computer my iphone is officially bricked after using the virginiser method. I don't understand how this can happen. The process went exactly as shown her on the site with no errors. yet when i launched itunes to update to 1.1.1, nothing no communications at all. I tried independence and nothing. This was a working unlocked (with anysim old) 1.0.2 iphone being used in Canada without issue. I just wanted to update to 1.1.1.

This really sucks!

Comment by rizuani, Oct 23, 2007

Ok Finally got my iPhone works with 1.1.1 upgrade

1. Just follow the guide above and once done..next... 2. Upgrade using iNdependence v1.2.5 (just follow the instruction...and you might need to do it more than once if failed) 3. Install AnySim? (i'm using iNdependence v1.2.2 and install the SSH etc..) 4. Run AnySim? 1.1.1 and you'll be fine and with your iPhone updated to 1.1.1

Comment by surge...@yahoo.com, Oct 23, 2007

How do you install SSH?

Comment by srothenberg, Oct 23, 2007

I am stuck at Waiting for Data... My phone no longer works. Ideas?

Comment by rizuani, Oct 23, 2007

i'm using iNdependence v1.2.2 to install SSH

Comment by tyler.obara, Oct 23, 2007

after flashing the baseband its says process time 2 min 19sec then "Error: Failed to download .FLS" tehn spits out that its using the 1.1.1 firmware (obviously not what i want) i am using the script provided at the top of this page

Comment by jimmymacbean, Oct 23, 2007

UPDATE!!!

I was just able to put my phone in a special recovery mode that made itunes see the phone. itunes is now doing a restore to 1.1.1 from 1.0.2 I hope this works! The special recovery mode is different then the normal yellow triangle with exclamation mark. I need to go and pray to the iphone gods now.

Comment by m.irwan, Oct 23, 2007

srothenberg- hv u tried to unload commcenter?

imre.fazeka- don't forget to chmod the file inside the folder too.

Comment by srothenberg, Oct 23, 2007

CommCenter? is unloaded. No luck! Seems quite a few people are having this issue!

Comment by shelbyxu, Oct 23, 2007

Can anybody confirm that whether or not a virgin 1.0.2 phone unlocked by Anysim 1.1 needs also to be revirginized? According to "alikashani", it seems I only need to upgrade to 1.1.1 and jailbreak+activate it.

Thanks.

Comment by jOVISH, Oct 23, 2007

I am also stuck at Waiting for data... Please help...

Comment by tyler.obara, Oct 23, 2007

i have now tried both scripts provided above both report back that they cant download .fls . this happens at the very end of the process. what am i doing wrong. i have tried with and without my sim in the iphone

Comment by srothenberg, Oct 23, 2007

I beat the writing data part I think,

I ran ./norz seczone.backup A03FA000 0x2000

It then ran through its thing suprisingly, then I reran the original command:

./norz seczone.backup 0x3FA000 0x2000

It seemed to have worked this time and I then virginized the phone successfully. Worked for me atleast.

Comment by briantur...@hotmail.com, Oct 23, 2007

You would think that it wouldnt be that hard for someone to pack ALL the files and programs needed to do this process into ONE zip file. ; ) GitRdone?!

Comment by jabancroft, Oct 23, 2007

I'm getting the same "Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify downloaded image." error. My baseband firmware version is apparently DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G, and bbupdater can't downgrade it to ICE03.14.08_G.

Standing by for a fix/update on how to force the baseband back down.

For reference, this was a 1.0.2 phone that I ran anySIM on (it failed), that turned into a brick when I installed 1.1.1. It's been back and forth between 1.0.2 and 1.1.1 since then.

And just to see if this was an "ignorable" error, I went ahead and did an update to 1.1.1 after getting the error above, and I still get the "invalid SIM" error with the poison IMEI number (e.g. still a brick).

I've gone back to 1.0.2, jailbroken and installed AppTapp?, SSH, and all the stuff needed to try again when we figure out a way to force the baseband downgrade using bbupdater.

Standing (anxiously) by...

Comment by tyler.obara, Oct 23, 2007

-jabancroft my experience was similar, i ran anysim and it failed so i kept using att sim, went to 1.1.1 - bricked, downgraded to 1.0.2 , activated , jailbreak, ssh got all virginator files over to the phone but fails to flash baseband

Comment by nt.amin, Oct 23, 2007

this method is available for iPhone 4 GB or not?

Comment by rizuani, Oct 23, 2007

If you have problem...please follow this guide http://modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.php/Downgrade_Baseband_1.1.1_to_1.0.2_OSX then follow RevirginizingTool in this page..should be ok..

Comment by m.irwan, Oct 23, 2007

yes.. i just wanna suggest the same thing as rizuani's. if you have baseband 04.01.13_G,downgrade it first then revirgize it.

Comment by liher.aboughalioum, Oct 23, 2007

Worked great for me, 1.1.1 working without a problem

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

Anyone can say me: After Revirgin successfulll: by Elite Team or Geohots, IMEI will be change real (exp 011300...) or still 0049+++. If it still 0049++ (i unlocked 1.0.2 by anySIM/Unlock) which can update 1.1.1 and continue unlock with anySIM 1.1 Now i can not use my phone because it get error "incorrect SIM"

Comment by tyler.obara, Oct 23, 2007

finally worked i used the link provided by rizuani and then went through virginator after that. i put virginizer_pack in /usr/bin/ after getting baseband down to 3.14.08 i was able to prep it for 1.1.1 with jailbreak and update with itunes, running 1.1.1 now with no probs

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

I successfully revirginized my baseband, but I can't upgrade to 1.1.1 . It gives me "unknown error (1)" in iTunes when I try to use the restore image.

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

If you had just revigined your phones, plz note to me know: your IMEI after revigined or update 1.1.1 Many thanks

Comment by srbhagwat, Oct 23, 2007

If I re-virginize my phone and take it to an Apple Store, can I still exchange it, because my screen has a negative black issue?

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

@ijeaston: you don't need bring iPhone to recovery mode. You only need plug phone to PC, after iTunes get phone, Press Shift + Restore and choose .ipws file

Comment by sikan.chen, Oct 23, 2007

does it really work for the 1.0.2 phones unlocked by unlock.app?

Comment by bcyang, Oct 23, 2007

I followed the instruction and it worked fine.

I got stuck at the norz 'Waiting for Data'. But once I put it into the cradle and change Auto Lock to Never, the norz command went through fast.

I pretty much did it line by line and it worked exactly as stated.

The next step ... for people who'd like to jailbreak 1.1.1

Be sure to read http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/Jailbreak_1.1.1 and plant the ~/Media symbolic link before you apply the upgrade to 1.1.1.

For people who have already upgraded to 1.1.1, read http://code.google.com/p/idemocracy/ or http://www.modmyiphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10176 for 1.1.1 (for Windows)

Comment by tubaswimmer, Oct 23, 2007

Chock one up on the success column!

anySIM 1 unlocked (for the hell of it, still on AT&T a doofus?) => borked 1.1.1 upgrade => rollback to 1.0.2/anySIM (thanks for the procedures there too!)

Uploaded the new viriginizer pack (and its required files) to /private/var/root. However, I think one cannot execute even after chmod'ing +x within that directory. Moving the virginizer pack to / make it all happy. I ran the script, kept the IMEI. Used iNdependence to pre-flight break -> 1.1.1, AT&T properly activated (woo!) through iTunes. Dropped AppTapp? on it, and all is well.

Thanks again, and it's a shame you guys don't accept PayPal? monetary donations!

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

@hat909: I've tried that too. In fact, I'm re-installing 1.0.2 right now because my phone was stuck with the "Connect to iTunes" message.

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

@hat909: Er, because that method put my iPhone in that state.

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

I hope your phone will done with revirgined (but still have fake IMEI) to unlock with anySIM1.1 Hard to wait more infomation :(

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

@ijeaston: I also get error when plug iPhone, but that is not important, only iTunes have button "Restore". I recommend iTunes version 7.4.2, if < 7.4, u can not restore 1.1

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

@hat909: I'm using iTunes 7.4.3 . And the problem is that says that it can't update, and it fails out of the process. If I do it from restore mode, the phone remains bootable. If I do it using "Update", it will refuse to completely boot the phone, and instead give me the screen with the yellow triangle.

Comment by hat909, Oct 23, 2007

@ijeaston: When u press SHIFT + Click to Restore and chosse path locate 1.1.1 firmware file, that is Manual Update or Restore. But i think your phone not virgin 1.0.2

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

@hat909: Well I followed the directions exactly, and I'm not getting the lockdown IMEI, so I'm not sure what's up.

Comment by johnnyblaq, Oct 23, 2007

Didn't read all posts, it's late here

I got a # after some wait not sure how long because I thought it would say Oooo Baby it worked (or something like that) I think maybe it coulda worked kinda 45/55 or less but I know it didn't turn commcenter back on and I would think it wouldn't do that unless it didn't work or the simple script ver got it left out (woulda done full one but it's bed time.

Comment by ijeaston, Oct 23, 2007

hat909: Just re-ran the virginization process with Virginator. Same result when I attempt an upgrade. Must be something else up with my phone. Thank god going back to 1.0.2 still works.

Comment by imre.fazekas, Oct 24, 2007

It works! I had 1.02 firmware used anysim 1.02 then upgraded to 1.1.1. Yesterday, i downgraded to 1.02 then used virginiser then update to 1.1.1 and anysim 1.1p. Works! Thanks a lot!!!!

Comment by jimmymacbean, Oct 24, 2007

Final Update!!! Restore to 1.1.1 worked to re establish comm to phone from both itunes and independence. I followed the independence help instructions to downgrade back to 1.0.2 then back to 1.1.1 and unlock with anysim 1.1p

I now have a working iphone. thanks to all that helped!

Can this script be used to repair the baseband on 1.0.2 and then use AnySIM 1.1.1 to unlock correctly? I would like to stay with FW 1.0.2.

Also, will it erase any information from the disk if we would like to stay with 1.0.2?

My 1.0.2 iPhone been already unlocked with AnySIM before...now I have 1.1.1 version... How to downgrade it to version 1.0.2 again???

Comment by octopate, Oct 24, 2007

This works. I had a iUnlock-ed 1.0.2. Virginized using this method then used Independence to upgrade and jailbreak 1.1.1 and then unlocked using Anysim 1.1. Phone working fine, no problems.

Comment by saimonday, Oct 24, 2007

does it really work for the 1.0.2 phones unlocked by unlock.app?

Comment by octopate, Oct 24, 2007

It does. My 1.0.2 was unlocked using the first unlock.app, not even the GUI version.

Comment by mishad7, Oct 24, 2007

Why does the automated script require iUnlock, when I only want to backup my seczone?

Comment by DaneOmazic, Oct 24, 2007

I used http://modmyiphone.com/wiki/index.php/IPhone_unlock_OS_X_Part_1 method, would i be able to revirginize my iphone then upgrade to 1.1.1 then ulock it and use it with non AT&T sim

Comment by shinece...@hotmail.com, Oct 24, 2007

Update: This worked perfect for me (I used an early method)

WARNING: Be careful about installing Springboard / Summerboard / Installer. I don't know exactly what I did but I got stuck on the Apple Logo, had to restore 1.1.1 over the unlocked 1.1.1 downgrade to 1.0.2 using Independence (the phone stayed unlocked :) ) then Upgraded again to 1.1.1

My advice is possibly to restore 1.0.2 before upgrading, otherwise you loads of apps on your phone and no launcher to launch them, messy.

Comment by octopate, Oct 24, 2007

you have to SSH just the installer.app folder over to the iPhone and not double-click/install Installer, found that out on the winandmac.com "ultimate" guide

Comment by mobilepjer, Oct 24, 2007

If you are getting "FW differences found" you need to downgrade the baseband first (http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband).

Then perfrom the Revirginizing tool. Worked for me!

Thanks guys.

Comment by shinece...@hotmail.com, Oct 24, 2007

octopate, which version od installer.app you installed? I had it running but it was an old version and didn't update?

Comment by sudipta.bera, Oct 24, 2007

I used anySIM to unlock my FW 1.0.2 iPhone. Then I used virginizing ( cd /usr/bin chmod +x launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist ./bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist reboot ) and paid IPSF to unlock and upgraded to FW 1.1.1 . Can I still use this method?

Comment by iphong, Oct 24, 2007

Ok, I backed up my seczone. Does ths virginize process write zeros to my seczone? How can I restore my backed up seczone?

Comment by samstahl, Oct 24, 2007

Went through this entire process, then upgraded to 1.1.1, fixed it in INdependence, downgraded to 1.0.2, reupgraded to 1.1.1 and unlocked with Anysim. Works perfectly.

Where can I find a copy of Install.app 2.0.6?

Comment by shinece...@hotmail.com, Oct 24, 2007

You don't have to have the 2.0.6 version, you just need to download the latest beta version, show package contents using mac, and then just copy the installer.app FILE (ie NOT a directory and NOT fileS) using Independence.

Good luck

Comment by smokemeout, Oct 24, 2007

tried all of the above even restored my iphone and followed all the setps but still stuck at waiting for data when trying to backup seczone... any ideas??

Comment by jherrell, Oct 24, 2007

OKAY....LAST NIGHT, AFTER TRYING SEVERAL METHODS AND SEVERAL TIMES TO GET A SECZONE.BACKUP FILE, I GAVE UP AND RESTORED THE PHONE. IT SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED AND I UPGRADED TO 1.1.1. FOR ALL THOSE WHO WERE STUCK AT THE "WAITING FOR DATA" PROMPT, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO REVIRGINSE WITHOUT THE BACKUP...BUT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE JUST IN CASE :)

Comment by hg.puts, Oct 24, 2007

I used following procedure from daurnimator :

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. 5) 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

But when I follow the procedure and enter the correct commands i the terminal following happens:

-sh-3.2# cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack -sh-3.2# ./chmod +x virginator.sh -sh: ./chmod: No such file or directory -sh-3.2#

So after I try to give virginator.sh permission to execute, things stop at "no such file or directory"

Any suggestions?

Thanks

supakit7 i solved my problem just now by loading commcenter again rebooting mu iphone and following the above steps again... hopefully it will work for u too and by the way make sure u type everything exactly as u see it (it might be case sensitive) gl wit virginising ur iphone... tc and night

I had the same error as a some of you: For those of you getting this Errors:

FW differences found

and

Could not verify download imag

Download ieraser at http://www.mycarbl0ws.com/ieraser and copy the file into the same directory as all the other stuff here.

Then execute it:

./ieraser

Then test the baseband again:

./bbupdater -v

This should now give you that:

Resetting target...
pinging the baseband...
baseband unresponsive to pinging
Done

Now, you can do the last steps:

./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep

Now check the baseband again:

./bbupdater -v

You should see:

Resetting target...
pinging the baseband...
issuing +xgendata...
    firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_03.14.08_G
 eep version: EEP_VERSION:207
eep revision: EEP_REVISION:7
  bootloader: BOOTLOADER_VERSION:3.9_M3S2
Done

Restart CommCenter?:

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist

That's it...

Found the solution here, thanx to JUSTIN: http://blaus.wordpress.com/2007/10/14/20-step-iphone-baseband-downgrade-111-to-102-bb/

I have followed the steps with RevirginizingTool Using the re-virginizing tool and all went OK results are same as described. Anyone knows how to upgrade to 1.1.1 ? i do not know if I should do it using itunes or the special pre 1.1.1 upgrade from independence. Please advise

Comment by shinece...@hotmail.com, Oct 24, 2007

ticamaya, do it all through Independence, don't upgrade to 1.1.1 until you've installed the pre 1.1.1 tools

Comment by supakit7, Oct 24, 2007

mr. SMOKEMEOUT can you tell me how can I load the file? Thanks

Comment by ticamaya, Oct 24, 2007

Shinece, thanks for the info. do you know what to do if I still have the wrong IMEI after the RevirginizingTool Using the re-virginizing tool. Everything else is fine just the IMEI does not match the original one. I am still in 1.0.2. Thanks

Comment by honcheng, Oct 24, 2007

i ran this...

and i got this error message Error: failed to download .EEP: Expected checksume D510 got 0FAC

what's the problem?

Comment by honcheng, Oct 24, 2007

i'm getting the FW difference also never upgraded to 1.1.1 before.. tried downgrading or restoring my baseband anyway.. and i get this error

Error: Failed to download .EEP: Expected checksum D510 got 0FAC

Comment by nhesson, Oct 24, 2007

Add me to the "This works" List. I had used the iphone.unlock.no method and have been holding out on upgrading to 1.1.1 but as leopard draws closer, I want to be current. So I went Unlocked (1.0.2) w/iUnlockr => Revirginized using the script at the top of the page (great script by the way, worked without a hitch) => Incorrect sim error (this is expected) => AnySim1?.1 w/ 1.0.2 to verify that I still had a working phone => Indepenence to get to 1.1.1 => Unlocked again using AnySim1?.1. Everything is working, I am a happy camper.

Maybe someone should look into porting this VOIP client onto the iphone: http://www.malico.com.tw/voip-info/wiki/view/PJSUA.html

VoIP is probably the #1 app missing from the iphone...

Someone help me with a SIMPLE thing .... how do you transfer the files to your iphone in the first place .... gezz .. I feel stupid for asking this.

Comment by zanman, Oct 24, 2007

If you're still having the "waiting for data" problem, try this. It worked for me. I had forgotten to set the phone to "auto lock: never" and might have interrupted the process of backing up the seczone. Or something.

If you're using the "virginator.sh" script, press CTRL-C to exit it.

There might be a 0kb file called "seczone.backup" in the same folder as virginator.sh. Delete it.

Use this command to restart Comm center: /bin/launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

Close the SSH session. Shut down the phone. Restart the phone. Let the phone find mobile service (T-Mobile, ATT, whatever)

Open a new SSH session. Try again.

It worked smoothly after that, and I was able to do the 1.1.1 update without a problem. Now I'm going to try doing the jailbreak.

Comment by cavasotti, Oct 24, 2007

# chmod +x virginator.sh # ./virginator.sh zsh: permission denied: ./virginator.sh #

any idea?

Comment by lanosk, Oct 24, 2007

I've tried every alternative I've heard so far (reboot, chmod 777, 1.0.2 restore etc), including the one zanman just posted, and I have one iPhone which STILL hangs on the "waiting for data" step when backing up the seczone. Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Annoyingly another iPhone I tried worked instantly.

Comment by benanzo, Oct 24, 2007

If you still get "permission denied" after doing "chmod +x ./virginator.sh" you need to move the "virginizer_pack" directory somewhere that is not in "/var/private" -- somewhere like /usr/bin or even just /

Comment by cavasotti, Oct 24, 2007

thank you benanzo.. im in the middle of the process now.. will post the outcome when I am done..

Comment by cavasotti, Oct 24, 2007

ok.. this is what I got: Checking baseband status...

Successfully reflashed baseband firmware to 3.14.08.

Starting CommCenter?... Done. Exiting now... # pwd /virginizer_pack # ./bbupdater -v Resetting target... Error: Failed to initialize comm layer: (is it open by another app?) Done #

should I reboot my phone now or what?

Comment by cavasotti, Oct 24, 2007

well, it is working.. i guess I am gonna update to 1.1.1... lets see how it goes..

Comment by divitios, Oct 24, 2007

@cavasotti You re-ran "./bbupdater -v" manually after virginator.sh finished?

If so, that is why you got: "Resetting target... Error: Failed to initialize comm layer: (is it open by another app?)"

It's because virginator.sh restarts CommCenter?? before exiting. If you want to see for yourself what "./bbupdater -v" is you'll need to stop CommCenter?? first.

Comment by cavasotti, Oct 24, 2007

everything works.. thank you guys a lot.. will jailbreak it now..

Comment by hstalker, Oct 24, 2007

Got to say a big thanks to you all. I had a few issues upgrading but nothing major. first of all i did a restore to 1.0.2 to make sure all my mucking around before would not cause a issue. then i sell fun the flash of the base band to relock my phone as i had done the geo hardware unlock method. then i unlocked with anySIM 1.02. this brought me back to the fresh unlocked phone. i installed installer.app , bsd, ssh ,vt100 to be safe. copied the script to phone and run in vt100 so no issues with connection drop out. all run perfectly. my phone restarted but not unlocked. then i installed anySIM 1.1.1 and unlocked again perfect again. all working fine. i then used independence to prepare for upgrade. then i plugged into iTunes upgraded to 1.1.1 had some issues here as it stopped half way saying it could not. and was stuck at yellow triangle. i just used apptapp to restart it. then tried again and it worked correctly. i then used independence to activate and install ssh then uploaded anySIM 1.1.1 again and unlocked. Yahoo fully working 1.1.1 iphone Thanks guys you really are the elite team!!!!!

Comment by sarriola, Oct 24, 2007

Will this allow me to subscribe to ATT services after I revirginize? Unlocking 1.0.2 was fun and I'm through with all of this stuff even though you've all made things easy. My ATT Gophone is down to $20 bucks and so I'm ready to make the plunge and pay ATT $20/month for unlimited data and add myself to my wife's ATT family share plan again.

Comment by maxleex, Oct 24, 2007

Yes!!! After 3 days of bricking I managed to virginize my AnySIM unlocked 1.0.2 iPhone and upgrade to 1.1.1. I now have a jailbroken 1.1.1 with everything working!!! I haven't unlocked it yet with AnySIM 1.1. Just enjoying the triumph! :) Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Comment by tubaswimmer, Oct 24, 2007

@sarriola:

Yes, I have in fact revirginized and activated with AT&T. The upgrade to 1.1.1 after revirginization should kick off the AT&T registration/activation procedure (I had already purchased service on launch day, so I can't confirm). Although with the transfer => FamilyPlan?, I would call up AT&T and do that before you activate through iTunes. I don't know if the interface allows for funky account transfers of that nature.

Comment by brauc...@net-worker.ch, Oct 25, 2007

Worked like a charm! Being happy having a fully working 1.1.1 iPhone...

Comment by nanni.85, Oct 25, 2007

hi ppl, the revirginize method is secure? is possible to damage the phone? thanks

Comment by raulrea, Oct 25, 2007

use fugu to tarnsfer files on a mac.

I solved my problem with terminal not letting me input commands trough ssh, I just restored the phone, activated it with independence, installed the ssh on independence and it worked!!!! any questions on the ssh problem ask me at raulrea@gmail.com

Comment by the.snitch, Oct 25, 2007

The backup did not work, tried 3 times, restoring to 1.0.2 through iTunes etc and still did not work (using both the script, and by typing the commands manually).

Bit the bullet and ran the revirginizer. Worked just like the instructions say.

Other issues I ran into was preparing for the 1.1.1 update in iNdependence had to install the iNdependence SSH/SCP/SFTP, which conflicted with openSSH already on the iPhone, which was installed through installer.app

Upgraded to 1.1.1, but iNdependence couldn't jailbreak it successfully. DOWNGRADED to 1.0.2 again, upgraded again, and all was good. iNdependence took a long time to jailbreak (it hanged), I was just about to force-quit it when it came alive again. Patience people!

Copied over anySIM 1.1 with iNdependence, and it worked fine. Copied over Installer, and it upgraded itself to the latest version, but it couldn't install BSD subsystem. Turns out the download source is offline. There is now 2 BSD subsystems in Installer.app if you look now, but at least one of them works.

~50 restarts later, & I'm successfully on 1.1.1

PS I unlocked originally with Erica Sadun's Unlock.app

Comment by leighpanter, Oct 25, 2007

Finally managed to get the seczone to back up. Had the problem where norz was stuck on "Waiting for data..." After about 10 attempts trying different things, this seemed to work for me.

This is what I did:

Held the menu and sleep buttons on the iphone to shut it down. Then I restarted it. Restarted my computer (MAC PRO)! When the computer had restarted I connected the iphone to the computer (via the dock). On my computer I have stopped iTunes running automatically when the iPhone is connected. Connected via SSH to the iphone using terminal.app and ran the commands to stop the comcenter and then backup the seczone.

Seczone was backed up sucessfully!! :)

Comment by ticamaya, Oct 25, 2007

the.snitcht , mikexloo or someone else , please can you please tell me what method you use to upgrade to 1.1.1 , did you upgrade thru itunes or using independence pre upgrade method?

Comment by tsuishui, Oct 25, 2007

I faced to the same... waiting for data....

Comment by mieczyslaw, Oct 25, 2007

If nothing works getting rid of "Waiting for data...", try the alternative ieraser, available in this pack: http://rapidshare.com/files/51979050/iPhoneUnlockFiles.zip.html

Comment by marziphant, Oct 25, 2007

The first iPhone I virginized used the iEraser method, so naturally I decided to try that after a couple of hours of messing around with "Waiting for data..." on this iPhone. Unfortunately, iEraser showed exactly the same symptoms... I may well just go ahead with the virginization anyway.

Comment by soonwai, Oct 25, 2007

Here's a step-by-step guide for Mac users that I compiled that will take you from an unlocked 1.0.2 to an unlocked 1.1.1. http://rdgaccess.com/iphone-elite/viewtopic.php?t=109

Comment by mieczyslaw, Oct 25, 2007

and if it's norz that stalls, then a) you probably don't need the seczone backup anyway, or retry after "chmod 777 seczone.backup"

Comment by crispain, Oct 25, 2007

I agree with you. I'm trapped in the same step as many others. I guess is the norz file the cause of this anyway. With the wirginazer method, I used the first release of the ieraser file and got the "waiting for data..." issue, then I realized that had to use the ieraser2 file and everything worked flawless, so I say it again, I guess is the norz file...

Comment by lanosk, Oct 25, 2007

Ok, well I didn't try the ieraser2 thing, but went ahead with the virginization just saying "no" to backing up the seczone, and everything proceeded fine - not to say it will go fine with everyone, but worked for me anyway.

Comment by jbnunn, Oct 26, 2007

Done! Worked perfectly on an unlocked, never upgraded 1.0.2 phone with non-original AT&T SIM. I was a little confused at the end of the script when nothing really happened. I expected it to immediately lock and deactivate upon reboot but it didn't. I then ran Independence, prepared for 1.1.1 upgrade, used iTunes to upgrade (make sure you "Update" rather than "Restore") and used independence again to Activate. I got lost here too because it took a while (~2 minutes) to jailbreak... just be be patient and follow the on-screen prompts from Independence.

Good work everyone!

Darn, I successfully virginized but then when trying to activate with iNdependence 1.25 I get the following error message:

Error, couldn't perform jailbreak. You need to downgrade to version 1.0.2, then perform the special upgrade to 1.1.1 (see Help documentation for more details).

Anyone help?

Thanks!

Comment by justindthomas, Oct 26, 2007

Great work folks! Worked perfectly. Virginized, upgraded to 1.1.1, jailbreaked, and I'm good to go.

Atterbom, I received that message too with iNdependence 1.25. Look for Niacin's TIFF exploit. That's how I unlocked mine (using a script on his site, I believe). That script did not work perfectly (lots of errors), but it put the phone in a state where iNdependence could complete the process.

i get the same thing too. after running virginator, my iphone deactivated and i cant activate it anymore using independence. i need serious help asap!!

Comment by artificemm, Oct 27, 2007

Add me to the "this works" list, I made it running every command by hand, no big deal, just pay attention to the syntax, and remember to chmod +x all your binaries, including the anySIM (this one appeared to be locked, and I had to start from the beginning).

Aside from that, everything went very smooth. So I left a unbricked, unlocked, 1.1.1 iPhone.

Really awesome work iphone-elite Team! Thank you very much! Greetings from Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Comment by artificemm, Oct 27, 2007

I forgot to add, remember to downgrade the baseband prior to virginizing or the "FW differences found!" will appear, just follow the downgrade recipe IF you had a bricked phone.

Comment by divitios, Oct 27, 2007

@ troyzhog

You need to install the BSD subsystem. That's why virginator.sh isn't finding "cat" and "touch". After you install it re-run virginator.

Comment by chrisn750, Oct 27, 2007

So just for clarification, if you previously had a phone that was unlocked with anysim, and you upgraded to 1.1.1, it would give you the invalid SIM message when you tried to activate. So then you downgrade to 1.0.2, use this method and your phone works again, on 1.0.2. Since the phone now works on 1.0.2, does that mean it's safe to try and upgrade to 1.1.1? Does this method actually undo the damage done by anysim, or does it just make it usable on 1.0.2?

Comment by chrisn750, Oct 27, 2007

I mean, if you want to upgrade to 1.1.1 and use AT&T as your carrier.

Comment by ShawnRMay, Oct 27, 2007

I had the seczone backup waiting for data problem and nothing suggested worked but this fixed it....

Code:

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist

then I opened up Summerboard and restarted the springboard and the dump worked, hope this helps some people with the same problem I had...

Comment by johnlaurencesy, Oct 27, 2007

how come my iphone's capacity is only 265mb as it is shown in itunes? how can i fix this? it should be like 8GB..

Comment by honcheng, Oct 27, 2007

how do i restore my seczone.backup to my iphone? i created that file before i tried virginizer.. now my baseband is empty

Comment by artificemm, Oct 27, 2007

@chrisn750: It is supposed to repair the damage done by anySIM, it is safe to upgrade to 1.1.1 it will show the "incorrect SIM" message, in my case I used independence 1.2.5 to prepare the phone for the update so it could be jailbreak'd and used the new anySIM and it worked, and it can be reversed by oneSIM. A piece of advice, if you use anySIM 1.1p set it chmod +x AND insert the NEW SIM that will be used.

@johnlaurencesy: I noticed that with 1.02 in pre-1.1.1 by independence, when you finish the update it returns to full capacity. Try with independence 1.2.5

@honcheng: I suppose you could try bbupdater: ./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep I also waiting for instructions to restore the seczone.backup

Comment by andreas.rossbacher, Oct 28, 2007

i followed the instructions, everything went fine apart from the fact that i was not able to update it using itunes (it started but then i got an error).

What I did then was I "rejailed" it using iNdependence. Which worked.

But now I cannot jailbreak it (says unable to write changed fstab). Also I cannot restore it (itunes says there was an unknown error). If I put it into recovery mode and then try to restore it it get rebooted and shortly after the small wait cirle appeas on the screen it seems to crash, reboot and itunes giving returning an error.

running the grestore command in iphuc does give an segmentation fault.

Also ituens says it cannot read from the phone. So i'm not able to sync. Apart from that it's running fine (phone part of course not working) but ssh rot access still is, but the root partition is read only

anyone of you having an idea waht else i could try?

Comment by PatriciaSLPetty, Oct 28, 2007

No WiFI, No Phone, No Sound.

I initially followed the instructions from modmyiphone to virginize my 1.02 iphone, but when I got to 1.1.1 I had no WiFi? or phone etc.

I have upgraded and downgraded b/w 1.1.1 to 1.02 multiple time with no luck in restoring the firmware.

I used iBrickr to install a local terminal as I can't SSH into the phone without WiFI, however I cannot reflash the firmware because I cannot unload CommCentre?.

I tried the above but this is what I get.

launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist # launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist # then I wanted to see if it really was unloaded so I typed

bbupdater -v Resetting target... Error. Failed to initialize comm layer: (is it open by another app?) Done #

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, I can't properly stop the comm layer and my baseband is apparently corrupt. Is my phone a brick now, or is there some way to restore the baseband?

Please help.

Thank you Elite Team. I finally re-virginized, upgraded to FW 1.1.1, Jailbroke, and unlocked with AnySim? 1.1. Very tedious work an a real adventure.

Comment by garysday, Oct 28, 2007

Team,

I virginised and upgraded to 1.1.1, however iTunes didn't ask me to restore ..

My iPhone is working, but it crashes now and then and I lose a few things like EDGE settings and so on ...

So.. Can i restore via itunes or will this brick my phone ?

What process do I need to follow - restore / jailbreak / unlock ??

Please help ....

Thx

Gary

Hi There,

I tried to execute the Virginizer Script.

Unfortunately I am not able to give the virginizer.sh the permission to execute.

When I type in ./chmod +x virginator.sh --> I get the error:

-sh-3.2# ./chmod +x virginator.sh -sh: ./chmod: No such file or directory

I would really appreciate your help!

Comment by PatriciaSLPetty, Oct 28, 2007

I now have had complete success after no wifi, no phone and no sound as posted above.

I have been able to upgrade to 1.1.1 with complete functionality. See my post under the name of Dazzz at modmyiphone at the link below.

http://modmyiphone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12229

@thomas.gerig

make sure you change directory to be in the correct place when executing the command.

type cd /usr/bin

you can then type pwd to verify what directory you are in.

some posts have incorrectly said to type cd /usr and then cd /bin, but this would take you back to a non existent direct /bin. byt typing it as one command you get straight to /usr/bin where you should have copied the virginator.sh and other files.

Comment by thomas.gerig, Oct 28, 2007

@PatriciaSLPetty:

Thank you for the answer. I thought I have to be in the cd usr bin virginizer_pack folder.

Do I have to execute the command in the usr/bin?

chmod without ./ worked well, but the script shows an error, like: unable to stop commcenter

after this error i have to reset the phone because the mail application doesn't work after the script error, and there is no sound too. (a bit weird)

did someone of you have the same problem?

I have 1.0.2 unlock by AnySim?, after apply this revirginize, I upgrade to 1.1.1 from iTunes and everything works as advertise, no issues. Thanks.

Comment by chrisn750, Oct 29, 2007

I had a "bricked" phone after updating to 1.1.1. I had previously used AnySim?, the very first version of it that came out. But I only had it unlocked for informational purposes, not to use it on another network. I use AT&T as my carrier. After it got "bricked" I downgraded to 1.0.2 and then used this method here to "revirginize" my phone. As soon as it was completed, the AT&T logo came back up, I had full signal, could call in and out, text messaging worked, everything. It was 100% fine again. But my question is what will happen if I try to upgrade to 1.1.1? Am I going to get an invalid SIM error? Keep in mind that I just want to use AT&T, not another carrier. Am I in the clear to update to 1.1.1 and use AT&T as if I had never even unlocked the phone in the first place, or does the "revirginizer" not actually virginize?

If you find this error: bbupdater: Error. Failed to initialize comm layer or nozr: Resource busy

make sure you did this: launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist or maybe need to do this: rm /System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist (make sure you have a copy of this file in your HD)

then restart your iphone and do your steps again ;) Good Luck!

Hi Guys,

You are the great !!!

I had an 1.0.2 version, unlocked with iUnlock very first version with text commands and etc. I made it just for fun. Got burn and restore to 1.0.2 working version. I have use this method re-virinilize the phone, put the restored version of 1.0.2, activated using wiNstaller and re-jailed after that. Upgraded with the iTunes and now I have virgin 1.1.1 iPhone.

Thank you Nikolay

Comment by hepatitis, Oct 29, 2007

thanks for the confirmation nikolayds.

was in the same boat. manually ran the commands on the first unlock run. followed the directions this time around (and pulled a couple of rsyncs of the filesystem in the process). seamless upgrade from 1.0.2 to 1.1.1 in itunes, heading over to jailbreakme.com now.

Comment by azizk0, Oct 30, 2007

ok here's the deal.

I just bought iphone and it came with 1.1.1 firmware. but I didn’t know that we could use apptapp and anysim with it so I downgraded to 1.0.2 firmware and then used apptapp and anysim 1.1 to unlock.

if I upgrade to 1.1.1 firmware now, what will happen? should I not do this without revirginizing?

thanks in advance

Comment by unteins, Nov 01, 2007

I re-virginized my phone and everything went ok. I used the virginize.sh script. I did backup and copy off my Seczone, to be safe.

Now, I can't activate my phone with iTunes. I am not sure why it isn't working, but the error I am getting is:

"Could not complete the iTunes Store request. The store may be busy. Check your internet connection or try again later."

Has anyone seen this problem before? My phone displays the correct IMEI, so it would appear everything is ok with the seczone. I was able to get through most of the registration process and then I got stuck.

I suspect the problem has to do with a glitch with AT&T/Apple, but I thought I would post here, just in case.

o yea!! success baby.. before virginizing you have to force the baseband to change, so that it matches with the one that the virginizer has, there is a tutorial on how to do this here http://modmyifone.com/wiki/index.php/Downgrade_Baseband_1.1.1_to_1.0.2_OSX after doing this you can virginize without errors. thanks 4 the help everyone. oh and BigBoss?' method of revirginizing seems to be the easiest

Downgrade your baseband first, instructions on this at the wiki... then, you can re-virginize.

Comment by jarod.kuntz, Nov 02, 2007

so you have to downgrade baseband first before you can download from brickd 1.1.1 to 1.0.2?

Comment by jarod.kuntz, Nov 02, 2007

is that what's causing the Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify download image. Done

Comment by jarod.kuntz, Nov 02, 2007

if that's the case, then I should reupdate back to 1.1.1, jailbreak then do the baseband downgrade, then downgrade back to 1.0.2?

Comment by artificemm, Nov 02, 2007

@jarod.kuntz:

you should downgrade to 1.0.2, jailbreak, downgrade baseband, revirginize, then you can upgrade to 1.1.1 and use AppSnapp?.

Comment by jarod.kuntz, Nov 03, 2007

so how do I get it to actually complete the baseband downgrade, because everytime I do bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep I always end up with the error "Error: Failed to download .FLS: Could not verify download image. Done" How can I fix this? I've tried everything I can think of, and I don't have a Mac OS so I can't use iNdependence. Any other ideas, I'm desperate right now, I have a $400 brick sitting and looking at me.

Comment by jarod.kuntz, Nov 03, 2007

nevermind, I just did a bunch of stuff and it worked, now I have my downgraded 1.0.2 iphone, time to update to 1.1.1 again hopefully I don't get ibrickd again.

Comment by artificemm, Nov 03, 2007

@Karen:

You need to downgrade your baseband, your modem version is: 04.01.13, wich tells me that you upgraded to 1.1.1 and you bricked the phone. You have to first downgrade the OS version to 1.0.2, then you have to downgrade your baseband (http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband) then you can do this page's instructions to revirginize and restore to 1.1.1 and do the appsnapp process.

@jarod.kuntz: Congrats!

I did this procedure. Works like a charm. Thx man, now i have my phone repaired and in FW 1.1.1.

Comment by OCSteven, Nov 04, 2007

Hi,

I reached the following stage using Putty. Then, nothing happen after that. What did I do wrong?

Your seczone should now be repaired.

  • Now reflash the default 3.14.08 baseband firmware:
./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep
  • You should see:

Comment by OCSteven, Nov 04, 2007

Hi,

I restarted putty and it worked fine. Pls Ignore the request above.

At the end when I check the baseband again, the firmware is different.

My shows: firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_04.01.13_G

The instructions shows: firmware: DEV_ICE_MODEM_03.14.08_G

Will this cause any problem?

Please advise.

Comment by honcheng, Nov 04, 2007

hi,

i suggest you guys look for solution elsewhere... doesn't look like this is a support forum.. no one helps anyone here

Comment by lantinian, Nov 05, 2007

Hi All,

Extremely Gratefull for the People that wrote the procedure on the top. Absolutely flawless. I had an iPhone unlocked using the instructions on this page http://iphone.unlock.no/ back when it was for 1.0.2

I used WinSCP and it was so easy to just copy and paste the commands into the console. ;)

I just had small problem in the beggining because I had the verginiser_pack extracted in itself and I had an error with the 4th command: chmod +x ./norz After that it was a breese. Updating to 1.1.1 now before apple seals the jailbreakme.com deal with 1.1.2

Thank you all iPhone hackers !!!

Nick (Varma,Bulgaria)

Thank you iphone elite dev team for this great re-virginizer. I used the script in virginator-0.4.zip and it worked flawlessly for me. Thanx once again.

Comment by oscarsuarezruiz, Nov 05, 2007

Hi, i have the exact same problem like benjamin.cointepas Does anyone know of a solution? Is there a way to restore the baseband/Modem Firmware ? I lost all communications (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, phone) after unlocking with anySIM 1.1 on iPhone 1.1.1 Benjamin, do you have an email address to chat for possible solutions?

Comment by dicky.wahyu, Nov 05, 2007

@ benjamin.cointepas & oscarsuarezruiz: in my case ... i did this:

1. use independence, put DFU mode ... use iTunes restore to 1.0.2

2. use Windows, use PACAY then iBrickr and install: BSD SubSystem?, BSD Base, BSD Extra, Mobile Terminal ... and Upload all tools for Downgrading Baseband + Virginizer to iPhone using iBrickr.

3. Follow method Downgrading Baseband then Revirginize ....

4. You will have your iPhone in 1.0.2 and Baseband 314

Comment by simon.petralli, Nov 05, 2007

Thank you iphone elite dev team for this great re-virginizer. I used the script with my 1.0.2 iPhone (unlocked with anySIM 1.0x) and it worked great. Thanks

Comment by 1...@0707.com.ua, Nov 06, 2007

hi i have doid everything properly, but my IMEI still wrong "0049...", may be somebody know what i must to do ?

Comment by aakash.goenka, Nov 06, 2007

I used the revirginize script for my 1.0.2 phone. Then updated it to 1.1.1, jailbreak with TIFF exploit. Then used CARNAVAL. Then AnySim? 1.1 and my phone is working now, it is unlocked and updated from 1.0.2. thanks once again elite team for this awesome tool.

Comment by fergoda...@mac.com, Nov 07, 2007

my iphone was hacked by me and unlocked with iunlock, I had the software 1.0.2, y virginize the phone and upgrade to 1.1.1 and then unlocked it again with anysim, it works perfectly now, read the very simple instructions here: iphone.unlock.no

Comment by parkertseng, Nov 08, 2007

hi, i always have this error "16(Resource busy)" every time when i type the following command "./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls ./eliteloader.bin" can someone help me? thanks!

Comment by teixido, Nov 08, 2007

I have done EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING right, for 3 days in a row, and I still can't make my phone work on 1.1.1

This is a launch iPhone, unlocked in late August with iUnlock (before there were anySIM) and even though I downgrade, virginize with sucess, everytime I upgrade to 1.1.1 I get the grey out NO WI-FI.

My IMEI is showing correctly, and I get no errors on updating, but I don't have WI-FI, nor BLUETOOTH.

I'm losing my mind here, I've read every forum, every tutorial, followed several times and I get no errors whatsoever, just NO WI-FI option on Settings.

It would seem to me there might be a part of the whole baseband that won't erase, although I get no errors. Anyway, after downgrading to 1.0.2 everything works fine, wifi, bluetooth, etc.

I've read I'm not alone here, but maybe you guys can finally find a solution for it. Thank you

Comment by artificemm, Nov 08, 2007

@teixido:

If you have already downgraded baseband, and virginize the phone, I would try manual DFU mode, then RESTORE on iTunes to 1.1.1 and try to jailbreak. It is what it comes to my mind right now.

Good Luck.

Comment by teixido, Nov 09, 2007

Thank you Artificemm, I already tried that and didn't work. I tried manual DFU, I tried doing the whole thing on Mobile Terminal, and lastnight I even tried:

<ul> <li>Downgrade 1.0.2</li> <li>Downgrade bb</li> <li>Elite revirginizing tool</li> <li>Restore 1.0.2 (you know, just in case there were any traces left) </li> <li>Update 1.1.1</li> <li>Restore 1.1.1</li> </ul>

And when I get to that last steps I get the NO-WIFI on the settings, so I can't use the jailbreakme.com method. Bluetooth is gone too, as well as Edge settings.

Here's a bunch of people all with the same problem: http://rdgaccess.com/iphone-elite/viewtopic.php?t=75&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15&sid=cc83ac3d3ccb7043d9d606726857d4f5

The last thing I'm about to try (unless anyone here objects) is:

<ul> <li>Downgrade 1.0.2</li> <li>Downgrade bb</li> <li>buy IPSF and apply it hoping it'll fix something</li> <li>Update 1.1.1</li> </ul>

Will that help at all or should or it'll be like throwing 60 bucks down the toilet.

Comment by artificemm, Nov 09, 2007

@teixido:

Too bad it didn't worked, as far as I have read all these forums, the downgrade/revirginize combo is a better way than IPSF, if you are going that way, search for instructions on how to backup your ltoken, as it appears it gets zeroed and nobody is sure the IPSF guys have a copy of it.

Another thing that came to my mind, was an utility by Erica Sadun, UIlaunchctl or something like that, you can start or stop some processes, like CommCenter?, which I believe it could be what it is giving you trouble. Maybe you could give it a last shot, by downgrading to 102, copying this, use the independence "pre-restore" so that apps can survive.

Good Luck.

Comment by jammmes, Nov 10, 2007

Suppose I have an AnySIM unlocked 4.02.13_G Baseband. If I have downgraded 1.1.2 to 1.0.2, will this tool still work to revirginize? Thanks for the help.

Comment by artificemm, Nov 10, 2007

@jammmes:

No, you could use oneSIM to undo the anySIM 1.1 patch, there is no need to go back to 1.0.2, 1.1.1 would be the recommended firmware to use meanwhile somebody releases a new jailbreak.

Comment by artificemm, Nov 10, 2007

Geohot's blog, makes a comment on losing wifi if you do a reboot between ieraser and iunlocker. The fix he proposes is: <quote> If you do reboot, simply make a launch daemon to run bbupdater -f myver.fls That restores the firmware. </quote>, give it a shot.

Good luck!

Comment by markbrown8, Nov 10, 2007

Hey guys, I'm lost on what to do next.....

I've tried every method I can find out there among the thousands of posts and dozens of walk-throughs but nothing seems to work and I believe I'm not alone.

Here's my situation: - Bought a v1.1.1 phone - successfully jailbreak'd it and anysim'd it using the iphone.unlock.no method. was working fine for several days - installed some app which caused me to get the invalid SIM error - tried several recovery methods but finally realized that downgrading phone and baseband to try and recover was my only option - successfully downgraded to v1.0.2 and baseband 3.14.08. - successfully jailbroke again with ibrickr/AppTappInstaller?/etc

However, my problem remains: - bad IMEI 04999xx - no wifi - no bluetooth - invalid SIM error

I've tried: http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10461 http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14623 http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12229 http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13255 http://www.gsm-forum.eu/iphone/15208...al-1-02-a.html http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=14384 http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elit...irginizingTool and others....

I've tried with my AT&T SIM in, my desired SIM in, no SIM....all combinations thereof....no luck.

At this point, I have no more options to try unless someone can lead me to another path or point out something I may have missed.

thanks.

Comment by artificemm, Nov 11, 2007

@markbrown8:

Try running oneSIM, I don't know if it can be run on 1.02, maybe you need to upgrade to 1.11. Remember that in the downgrading stage, you have to use anySIM 1.02 to recover the IMEI.

Comment by markbrown8, Nov 11, 2007

@artificemm

I've tried both iUnlock and anySIM 1.02 during the downgrade process and neither recovered my IMEI.

and I can't even unlock v1.1.1 to install/use oneSIM because i have no wifi

Comment by ethan.nystrangers, Nov 12, 2007

Help..... i have problem at the last step of downgrading Baseband. there is there message.... anyone can help .. thank you so much,,

Comment by fermusarra, Nov 13, 2007

Well, I complete all the step, revirgize my iphone but can´t fix IMEI 0049 , I really don´t know what else can I do? Please, I´m really desperate! Thanks :)

Comment by jtukka, Nov 14, 2007

Ok this is going to out me as a total newbie, but when I go into terminal an SSH into my phone, I'm not able to run any commands. Every time I enter 3 characters, it automatically gives me a message saying "Connection to 192.XXX.X.XXX closed."

Any ideas how to fix this so I can run the commands in Terminal?

Comment by dicky.wahyu, Nov 15, 2007

@jtukka, you have to reinstall bsd subsystem and the terminal ... better to use OpenSSH from ibrickr/Installer ... not using SSH from independence (most of case are because of independence)

I have a unlocked 1.0.2 with original IMEI (same as IMEI curved at the back cover of the phone). This means my seczone is not corrupted right? If so I don't need to revirginize but after upgrading to 1.1.1 jailbreakme.com method didn't work and phone never called inself back. I had to downgrade to 1.0.2 again but still got 04.XX baseband. I unlocked with anysim 1.1 and no problem now. How can upgrade to 1.1.1 successfully?

i have an iphone 1.0.2 unlocked with anysim (old version) and would like to upgrade. i already asked and you adviced me to revirginize using the the unlock.no which works fine. My imei though is the same as the one on the back of the phone and modem firmware is 03.14.08_G. Do i still need to revirginize or i can upgrade directly to 1.1.1? Thanks a lot!

Comment by nicolas.ameghino, Nov 30, 2007

Hello! My problem (two posts above) was solved. I just followed the same steps posted in here but with a different secpack and it worked like a breeze. After downgrading the baseband to 3.14.08_G, I used the virginizer scripts and finally 1.1.1'ed it.

-sh-3.2# cd /usr/bin/virginizer_pack <System/Library/LaunchDaemons?/com.apple.CommCenter?.plist No such process -sh-3.2# lauchctl unload com.apple.CommCenter?.plist -sh: lauchctl: command not found

please help me! i know the files are there and have the correct permissions..

thanks!

Attention! Anyone have BB version other than DEV_ICE_MODEM_03.14.08_G, should down grade BB to this before run virginator. Cheers

Hi guys,

ok I usually dont comment on pages like tese but i have been reading just about every page on the net and everytime i think i get close to an answer to my proble i end up disappointed. If anyone out there can tell me based on my problem description weather i should just give up and buy a new phone....please just put me out of my misery and say it. I am Geting the 16(resource busy) error. it bagan when i restored my upgraded 1.0.2 phone (which at the time when the error happend was a working 1.1.1. when i went to unlock it again with anysim (yes i used the correct version) it froze for a long long time so i reset the phone. When all the crap was said and done, i ended up with no wifi, no signal, no blutooth and no imei.

I tried the reflashing processes found all over the net but when i got to the bbupdater point where it says "waiting for data..." it got stuck and i waited forever, so again i reset. when i tried repeating the process i get to the point to unloading commcenter and even tried deleting it from the directory but always says 16(resource busy). I can tell that the command to unload has been executed because there is no lag after. afetr i try ieraser and anything else.

What my question is, is there anyway to correct this error. I have high hopes that if i can manage to bypass this error that i can get my "paper weight" to be a phone again. Please help me out, i've had some bad luck with iphones lately. after this error happened i bought another one which was 1.1.1 oob but dropped it and messed it up (to sa the least) luckly apple store replaced it, however they gave me a 1.1.2 oob so i have to wait for the new update to come out. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN...CONSIDER IT A CHRISTMAS PRESENT???

LET ME CORRECT THAT I GET THE ERROR WHEN I TRY TO IERASER EVERYTHNG NOT TRYING TO UNLOAD COMMCENTER

Comment by michi.wirz, Dec 14, 2007

@damiendilbert

Hi there You can resolve the 16(resource busy) problem by unloading den Commcenter (unload -w /System etc...) and then RESTART your iphone. My Status: no imei, no wifi: trying virginizer ==> endless loop at ./bbupdater -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ./ICE03.14.08_G.eep ;(((

Comment by bstockiphone, Dec 16, 2007

Hello, i've retained my correct IMEI with the IPSF fake server method. But rewriting my baseband with 3.0.14 and my corrent loader (run through geomaker.exe) did not solve the 0049 problem! Any clue?! I think if the IPSF fake method could successfully return my correct IMEI the seczone should be repareable?! Info: My phone is a out of the box 1.1.1. Something went wrong when i ran anysim1.1 and after that i imediately got the imei 0049 problem! I appreciate any help!

Comment by theinvictus, Dec 20, 2007

question, so if I jailbreaked my 1.0.2 iPhone using iBrickr do I need to virginize my iPhone before upgrading to the newer firmwares?

Comment by alwynkh, Dec 20, 2007

I have phone that was updated by ibrick. it went in to an Activation Loop. however I ran ieraser and this method and keeps coming up with the modem firmware: 04.02.13.G ], epp version:208, eep revision:1, bootloader_version:4.6_M3S2?. no matter what i do I can get the modem firmware to change. What do I need to do

Comment by idesign3d, Dec 26, 2007

I was able to get anysim working on my 1.0.2 phone. I tried to upgrade to 1.1.1 and lost my sim unlock. Now I'm back to 1.0.2 and anysim says it cannon unlock this phone. Any suggestions?

Comment by artificemm, Dec 28, 2007

@idesign3d

1. Downgrade your baseband 2. Re-Virginize 3. Install Appsnap 4. Unlock with anySIM

Good luck!

Hi. I have 1.0.2 iphone, and the screen went completely black. However, itunes recognizes my phone when I plug it in. I need to revirginize my iphone to get a warranty for the black screen. Can I revirginize my iphone without being able to see anything on the screen? I think that SSH is currently disabled, and don't think I can turn it on with the black screen. Please Help!

I was trying to unlock my iPhone using ZiPhone? 3.0 and I was using a iPhone firmwire 1.1.4 in the middle of the process of Unlocking it I removed the Sim Card (Stupid me) and it stopped Unlocking and it shows this:

Singleuser boot - fsck not done Root device is mounted read-only

If you want to make Modificarions ro fill es:

/sbin/fsck -fy /sbin/mount -uw /

If you wish to boot the system:

exiy

Jul 13 oo:27:30 Launchd49?: Can't exec /bin/sh for single user: no suck file or

directory

When I try reseting it (holdnig in the power botton and the Home bottom for 30 seconds) it starts up a bunch of letters and coding scrolls down and then the message above displays. I tried everything and iTunes dosn't detect "Device" or "Phone". I even tried to reset it with ZiPhone? software and it dosn't find it either.

Please send any Help and Information: PaulMitchell0?@Gmail.Com

I just posted, the codeing that displays dosn't show up in the forum.

Comment by rodrigomav, Jul 21, 2008

Hello everyone, My problem is the following: I bought my iPhone in March. I unlocked it using Ziphone 3.0, and my phone was working fine until 2 days ago, when I had the amazing idea to update my iPhone to version 2.0. My phone is now unlocked (i went back to 1.1.4), but I have no signal coming thru (no bars)... and after 2 or 3 minutes, my phone shows a "no service" sign... So, everything else is working, but the phone function (which is the main purpose of a phone...) :( (oh, and the installer also seems to have vanished from my phone, like all the apps I had installed, but that´s a lesser problem). Can you please help me? I´ve been thinking about revirginizing my phone, but am kind of scared of what that could do to my iphone (erase everything, or brick my phone, which I think happened already when I tried to unlock the 2.0 version the first time...) BTW, I´m not a computer expert, so if there´s an automatic program or a detailed "how to" website, please let me know!

Please send any help or info to rodvilela@hotmail.com

Thank you much

Well Im in the same boat as some others. My Iphone(original, not the 3g) is locked on a screen showing the usb icon and the itunes. Upon doing some investigation, I find the term 'bricked' is applicable to my case. I inadvertantly updated my 1.1.3 to 2.0 in ITunes. I have tried restore it via Itunes and have tried to use the Ziphone application but nothing works. I only get the screen mentioned above and when the slide button is engaged, I see the phone pad for emergencys only. PLEASE CAN MY PHONE BE SAVED?

Comment by grandiv...@yahoo.com, Oct 01, 2008

Hi Im left the comment concerning my Iphone being bricked, under the name of Grandiva. Please send any help to Grandiva77@yahoo.com. thanks so much

As the owner of www.revirginizer.com, we have been using the term revirginizer in trade for several years. I am concerned that your use of the term revirginizer may constitute an infringement of out mark.

Hi all,

a month ago i was on 2.2.1 with my iPhone 2G and suddenly a message of Need Repair appeared on mi iPhone.
I´ve tried a lot of things without fix it!

I would like to know which firmware i should have to run the Virginizer. Could i do over 1.1.4? I´m not able to restore to a previous version of 1.1.4

And on 1.1.4, 2.1 and 2.2.1 could i run the Virginizer changing the secpack and the ICE file?

and ICEs these ones :

ICE2_01.43-eep-fls.tbz, ICE2_01.45.00.eep, ICE2_01.48.02.eep, ICE04.01.13_G-eep-fls.rar, ICE04.02.13_G-eep-fls.rar, ICE04.03.12_G-eep-fls.rar, ICE04.04.05_G.eep-fls.rar, ICE04.05.01_G-eep-fls.rar, ICE04.05.04-eep-fls.rar
