There was a thread about this a while back. Today I unlocked an iPhone (about my 417th) and after running anysim i got the above error. I tried restoring to 1.1.1 and no luck, all I get is the itunes cable icon, if I try and downgrade to 1.0.2 I get it installed, but then I can't jailbreak it or activate it because iTunes won't bootstrap, it gives me some error about this iphone can't be used with itunes because there is no sim installed (there is though) so iNdependenc give me an error after trying to activate that the phone doesnt have a CCID or whatever. I've tried everything... please help. PS: I'm the guy that created the "Uber Easy 1.1.1 unlock sticky"

thanks for all the help....................not. anyways, heres how to fix it (I didn't write this) and BTW, as far as I can tell you need Windows (iBrickr) to do this:


Connect the iPhone to iBrickr and follow the initial instructions. Your screen will flash RED. You will receive two options - reboot, and what you are interested in restore. Follow the simple instructions and the iPhone will go to the firmware 1.0.2. When you downgrade it will end in an error (a la “Could not restore iPhone Unknown Error [some number]). This is only because iTunes couldn’t restore or find your baseband. Don’t worry about that. Follow the instructions using iBrickr to jailbreak your phone after that. It’s simple and painless and if you got yourself into a situation like this you probably don’t need me telling you how to do this.
Once your iPhone is fully downgraded you will get an activation screen that says the iPhone is in need of repair. Make sure your iTunes is closed and with iBrickr upload “lockdownd” to usr/libexec. This will do a faux activation on your iPhone so it doesn’t give you the normal activate by connecting to iTunes screen on your next reboot.
Using iBrickr click “Applications.” Install PXL by following Nate True’s instructions. Once thats done browse the available applications that are available and install these 2 programs in this order: BSD Subsystem, and the Mobile Terminal. Give each application about a minute after you click install to finish up.
Now if you reboot your iPhone you will see a regular iPhone’s home screen with all the standards Apple icons plus Mobile Terminal. Using mobile terminal you are going to do some file handywork and fix your broken iPhone.
We need to use iBrickr one more time before the big show. Upload the following files to your usr/bin directory:
ICE03.14.08_G.eep
ICE03.14.08_G.fls
ieraser
secpack
Once these files have been uploaded use your iPhone’s terminal. We need to stop the process which is trying to use your baseband. This file is called “com.apple.CommCenter.pist” and is location at /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter. It’s usually quite simple to stop the process but a lot of people have trouble doing it. I will go over the normal way to do it and if you can’t get it using that method try one of my alternatives. Using terminal type these commands verbatum:
cd /
cd System
cd Library
cd LaunchDaemons
now that you are in the correct directory type this:launchctl unload com.apple.CommCenter.plist
If all goes well it will think for a split second and then you will get no errors (and no confirmation!). Terminal just gives you a command prompt like normal again. Lots of people get the error “No Such Process.” if this happens type:
rm com.apple.CommCenter.plist to delete it. Don’t worry that you are deleting it because you can download it here so once this is all done you can reupload it using iBrickr. Also if you deleted com.apple.CommCenter.plist REBOOT YOUR PHONE NOW. Sometimes it takes quite a while to reboot. It’s my guess that the iPhone OS is looking around for the file. Just sit tight and it will return to it’s normal screen eventually.
Once you are done sorting out how to kill the com.apple.CommCenter.plist problem navigate to your /usr/bin directory. You can type this into your terminal: cd /usr/bin
Type chmod 0755 * (this will set up the correct permissions for the files you are about to access).
Also, type this: chmod +x ieraser & : chmod +x bbupdater
Now type this: ./bbupdater -v to find out what firmware you are running. If your iPhone was messed up in the same way mine was it will ping the baseband for a while and either return nothing or end on “issuing +xgendata.” This is fine. Also if you receive the error telling you comm center is in use this is because you didn’t correctly kill the plist mentioned above so keep trying it until it works!
Execute the following to erase your baseband: ./ieraser. This will completely erase what is left on your baseband. We’re almost done.
Execute the following to reflash your baseband: ./bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls. A lot of people on the IRC Channels claim that this won’t work for a stock 1.1.1 iPhone. It will. Let the process run all the way through. If you get an error check that the secpack doesn’t have a hidden extension of ‘.bin’ at the end. This will cause it to fail.
Type: ./bbupdater -v and if everything is right it will ping your firmware and return your version as 3.14.08. You did it!
Finally - let’s not forget about our friend com.apple.CommCenter.plist. Copy the file back to the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ using iBrickr.
Reboot. Your wifi works… Your sound now works… Your vibration now works… Nice Going.
Final Step: You now have a factory fresh 1.0.2 iPhone. To make your iPhone completely factory fresh you should probably update it to 1.1.1. From there you can follow one of the many simple tutorials online to try to unlock it again.

ive done that before, no dice on the wifi, i could get the rest of the phone to work. RIght now im having the same problem, but im pretty sure the phone is toast, ibrickr cant even get programs onto the phone.. ugggg

I trued this on my iphone, since you don't provide files it's hard to know if we have the right ones, anyway, it all wet through without error but still no wifi, still corrupt IMEI, what the hell is wrong? I have done this process several times now and I just can't get it to work :'(

This problem "can" be repaired A friend of mine called me 2 days ago and said my phone is broken. He brought it over to me and when i turned it on it was at the activation screen and a few seconds later the dreaded "Repair needed iphone cannot make or receive calls" He had unlocked with the Old version of AnySim and he was on firmware 1.0.2 all he did was upgrade to 1.1.1 and then it happened. This phone's baseband was totally blank no wi-fi, no ICCID,no imei and bluetooth showed all 00000000000000's I told him he was screwed!!!!!. and since he had never activated with AT&T he could not return for warranty. So for 2 days I have worked on this phone And I got it repaired working fully unlocked 1.1.1. I used several tutorials. Here is what i did in a nut shell. 1.
connect to itunes and update to 1.1.2 (yes 1.1.2) this will flash the baseband and give you back all the missing stuff. 2. Downgrade back to 1.0.2 your baseband will stay at 04.02.13_G 3. Downgrade the baseband to 03.14.08_G and then revirginize it using term vt100 (terminal) 4. Upgrade back to 1.1.1 jailbreak run ANYsim 1.1 and your done the phone is now fixed THIS DOES WORK IF DONE RIGHT I DID IT MYSELF NO NEED TO SEND TO APPLE FOR REPAIR OR PAY SOMEONE YOU CAN DO IT FOR FREE email me at xsoberx1969@gmail.com and i will give you the correct pages to go to and tell you what apps you need to install through installer and how to run them as best as i can. and what commands are needed in terminal

thegraveworm,

I did as u said, when I restored my 1.02 to 1.1.2, I still got an unknown IMEI and need repair error, so it seems that the baseband or firmware was no flashed as I got at the end an itunes 1012 error
