Bricked iPhone 3GS(No WiFI, No IMEI, No BlueTooth)

no you should stay away from iOS 6, it will update your baseband which thus will lose the unlockability to use another carrier sim

Thank u. my firmware is 6.15.00 nd version 4.1...can't I do anything to dwnld facetime, imessage, watsapp etc?

no imessage and facetime was not even introduced until iOS 5 so you really are out of luck

FaceTime was available with 4.0. Obviously only for iPhone 4 though.

Wen will the unlock come out for iOS6? Is it not possible to upgrade from ios4.1 to 5.0.1 in the meanwhile??

We have seen this problem a few times in our shop. Sometimes after flashing to an ipad baseband or downgrading from an ipad baseband we have seen this bluetooth, imei, wifi issue even though the iphone is older and the serial number is within the allowed time frame. It can be fixed. Heres how we have fixed several. Follow the directions exactly.

-Get the phone to power on, which it will be very slow, searching for network and constantly rebooting
-Once on slide to power off (very important)
-Use latest version of redsnow and manually select your ipsw (it wont do it automatically for you on a bricked phone)
-Go to jailbreak, tick off install cydia and install ipad baseband

After reflashing the baseband your wifi, bluetooth, imei etc. should all be back to normal. For some reason a portion of the downgrade or upgrade to ipad baseband doesnt work which causes this issue however reflashing it has always solved the issue

THIS WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM IF YOU TRIED FLASHING AN IPAD BASEBAND ON A NEWER IPHONE 3GS WITH THE NEW NOR CHIP

Hi all,

I got a bricked iphone 3gs from a friend. I'm completely new to this jailbreaking stuff, and am a bit lost. Here's my info:

iphone 3gs
Version 4.3.5 (8L1)
MB717LL
Serial: 88925xxxxx
wi-fi: N/A
Bluetooth: 00:00:00:00:00
Modem fw: [none]

I'm not sure what happened to this 3gs before, but i think it was previously jb. It's currently back on a regular iOS, and power's on, but will reboot every few minutes, and there's no wifi, bt, etc (bricked?).

From the above post, it seems there may be some hope, but could someone post a more step by step walkthrough? Specifically, what ipsw do i use, since i'm currently on 4.3.5? And is there a specific version of an ipad baseband that i'm suppose to use?

thanks in advance!!
