iphone 2g 2.2.1
error 23

i had the same problem when i was trying to restore to beta 5. I had to dfu back to firmware 2.2.1 then update to beta 5 and problem solved.

Error 23 is a baseband/radio error. It occurs when an unlock and baseband flash is not successful. The way to fix this is to get it out of DFU mode, which it is stuck in because iTunes can't read its IMEI number due to the baseband problem. Once out of DFU mode, you can fix your baseband. The problem is that you can't get out of DFU mode.. The broken baseband might have done physical damage, and you will need to go to the apple store to get a new one. They might give you one if they're in a good mood, anyway they wouldn't know that it's had an attempted unlock due to the fact you can't get it out of DFU mode. If I find a way to get it out of DFU mode, I'll repost.

I found the solution in my case

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My 3g Iphone would not come on unless plugged in to a computer and only gave the apple screen when it was. I was getting the code 23 in both recovery and DFU mode. I tried multiple computers and operating systems and still got the error. If i had thought about it unstead of being stressed I would have figured out the solution much faster.

Code 23 is an error connecting to Itunes so the best way is to narrow down what coule be causing the problem.

#1 Itunes corrupt software
#2 Corrupt USB drivers or a bad usb port.
#3 A bad Iphone usb cable
#4 A bad data port on the IPhone the cable was connecting to (This was my problem).

I also replaced the battery when I broke it down this far and I doubt this was part of the problem but, when I did replace it and the data port everything was fine again.

I tried many different things and started to catch on when using iTunnel and winscp and it would lose connection.

I wish you all the best of luck finding the answer to your problem and hope this helps someone else out there.

Anybody managed to fix the error 23?

Anybody managed to fix the error 23?

Yes, Apple. They fix it by replacing the faulty hardware in the phone that is causing the error.

[bettz]

Bugger its a old 3g it was working fine until i replaced the mute switch inside the 3g now it won't restore etc its out of warranty so it looks like its toast then

[jkmonkey]

Usually it is a problem with either the radios or the dock connector

[bettz]

Will apple replace the phone if its out of warranty at a cost?

[jkmonkey]

I think for $199 they'll give you a refurb.

[bettz]

Even though I've opened the phone? It's a us model aswell?? Would it be best to say it's water damaged ? Or will they not really care what excuse I use if I'm paying the out of warranty charge?

anybody know? would it be worth trying to replace the logic board?

Check your battery. If memory serves me right when I did allot of the first iPhone repairs allot of the problems came from lower battery.

[bettz]

so maybe a battery change will sort it?

What battery would i need to get?

[bettz]

Juts in the process of changing my battery fingers crossed
No luck now going to try changing the data port
