Spoof IMEI on firmware 2.2....

[hondakorn]

I did not originate this, I just slimmed down the amount of steps from here(homeofmagic.blogspot.com)

Step 1: Install itunes 7.6 or 7.5, reboot and downgrade to 1.1.4
(The firmware can be found on here)
Step 2: you can use ziphone or iliberty to activate, unlock, downgrade basehand to 3.9fakeblank
Step 3: Use ziphone to change you imei to your desired # (i.e a gophone imei or whatever)
Step 4: Install the latest itunes, reboot, and install the firmware here: homeofmagic.blogspot.com
Step 5: You now have a 2g iphone with a spoofed imei and you know what that means.......Working swirlymms!!

**YOU CAN USE THE SAME CPU TO GET THIS WORKING UNLIKE THE ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
**YOU ARE ALSO NOT LIMITED TO ZIPHONE WHEN IT COMES TO UNLOCKING/JAILBREAKING

If this helped you plz thank me
if this is a repost, plz ignore or feel free to flame lol

Were you able to get this to work? When I tried downgrading to 1.1.4, the phone stayed on with the pinwheel of death and Itunes just kept saying restoring software. For like an hour!

ive done it several times without an issue, but i keep the older version of itunes on my gf's lappy and use that to downgrade and change the imei....ive never had the pinwheel death lol

Interesting. I have 7.5 loaded on my Bootcamp sector of my mac. So I can load this 1.1.4 on the Windows side, then reload to 2.2.1 on the mac side? Do I need to just do a restore or do I need to put the phone into DFU mode?

When you look at your account on whatever service you have, its shows the spoofed IMEI and that model of phone?

I cant speak on the mac part since i use an xp lappy but it should work the same on either systems. I put it in dfu mode for 114, and did a restore on 2.2.1

it shows the spoofed imei on everything. When i logged in on myatt it showed my gophone, and swirly worked for me as well. Ive had this done ever since 2.0 using the gophone data plan with 0 issues.

Awesome, I think my best bet is to find a totally separate computer to install the 7.5 version of itunes. Thanks for the info.

Great, Now I wonder how to do this with the 3.0 Firmware. I could pay for it

just follow the same instuctions above using 3.0 software from the link i posted. The firmwares have any basehand upgrades removed, and are jailbroken and unlocked.

my 2g works fine on 3.0 w/ a gophone imei

so could I take a 3Gs all the way back to 1.1 4 and do the same thing?

[hondakorn]

nope, only for the 1st gen iphone.

[mlcohen99]

So from what I gather it is absolutly not possible to make att think I have somthing other than an Iphone?

[hondakorn]

I'm not aware of any other options for the 3g/3gs iPhones
