View Full Version : Modem Firmware Downgrade Question (2.0 leaked firmware issue)

Jul 10, 2008, 10:11 PM
After installing the 2.0 firmware I managed to go back to 1.1.4 via pwnage though my baseband version is 04.05.04_G (I believe this came with the 2.0 update) and bootloader 3.9.

Is there anyway to go down from 04.05.04_G so I can unlock my phone again? Currently it's jailbroken but not unlocked and bootneuter won't change either probably because the baseband is something higher.

So in short

my baseband is 04.05.04_G (from the leaked 2.0 I presume)

Firmware: 1.1.4

Bootloader: 3.9

Not unlocked, not neutered.


Bootneuter fails at unlocking or reverting to 4.6 (error-5), otherwise the phone works fine.


Thanks,

Would appreciate an answer here --

Currently the phone works fine, installer is on there -- versions are as listed.

However, the phone isn't unlocked and my usual ATT SIM (not iphone data plan) is showing no signal and I cannot connect to the network.

I guess I am waiting for the dev team's 2.0 unlock release but I thought I would be able to unlock the phone since it's back to 1.1.4 -- but I guess the updated baseband is holding that back.

Hi

I'm stuck in the same situation as you, sorry I can't really help. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

All the solutions I have found online take me around in circles - to make the downgrade work I need BootNeuter, but to make BootNeuter to work the downgrade needs to complete.

Dammit!

Trying this now -- I was just going to wait for pwnage 2.0 but I'll try it.

Having some trouble simply restoring 1.1.4 from 2.0 official (gives me error 20) but once I do it I'll try the baseband eraser.

Thank you matinez!!!!

I have been trying all day to fix my iPhone. It finally works.

This is what I did:

1. Put the iPhone in DFU mode.
2. Restore in iTunes to 1.1.4.
3. Received error 1015.
4. Ran the modified version of ZiPhone with all 3 boxes checked. (The version matinez posted)
5. Put the iPhone in restore mode.
6. Restore in ITunes to 1.1.4.. again... No errors this time.
7. Used the standard ZiPhone 3.0 to "Do it all".
8. It works!

I've tried so many different methods today. I don't know if I ended up putting the phone in a strange state, but that second restore was necessary to get it back up and running.

Hope this helps. :D

The official one, although partially downgraded to 1.1.4 (through iTunes 7.5 and DFU mode...)

Got it working -- key really is iTunes 7.5 and DFU to get the 1015 error. After that it's gravy. The step about erasing your baseband is also pretty vital and previously missing from the bigboss guide.

Now I have a working phone till pwnage 2.0.


Thanks guys.

macdre
Jul 12, 2008, 11:35 PM
A few more points for anyone still stuck:


You definately need an older version of iTunes, I used 7.5
You must use DFU mode to restore the first time. Look up how to do that. Its not the normal restore mode - The screen is blank during patching.
You may need to download the 1.1.4 firmware version separately and force iTunes to use it if it insists on trying a different version. For Windows - hold shift while clicking on restore. OSX - Hold option while clicking on restore - then select the firmware.


I did this all in windows because I didn't want to mess with downgrading iTunes from 7.7 to something earlier in OSX.

Good luck!

hi roger


could you please let me know what steps you too9k to downgrade your phone really need to know


thanks

bjeff6
Jul 13, 2008, 10:54 PM
1) Get the tools. Here's what you will need
A.) iPhone 1.1.4 Firmware
B.) iTunes 7.5 (windows or mac version)
C.) iLiberty (again, either windows or mac version)
D.) KiPhone (This is KEY! Thank you SO much kIREmk for releasing this! It is a patched version, available for windows or mac)

2.) Downgrade iTunes from 7.7 to version 7.5.
A.) Run the following commands: defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreActivationMode -boolean NO
B.) defaults write com.apple.iTunes StoreGeniusMode -boolean NO
This will assist you in not getting those funky errors and having to re-authorize your iPhone every time iTunes detects your iPhone after each step
C.) Run the following command from a terminal session:
killall iTunesHelper
D.) Delete the following files by running the following commands while still in terminal:
sudo rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app
sudo rm -r /Library/Receipts/iTunesX.pkg
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iTunes*
This will prevent you from receiving any permission denied errors.

3.) Putting the phone in DFU mode.
I will reference this multiple times. So I’m just posting it here.
A.) While still connected to the USB cable, power off the iPhone by holding the power button for 3 seconds, then moving the slider to the right to complete the shut down.
B.) Next, hold the power (top of the iPhone) and home button simultaneously for *exactly* 10 seconds.
C.) Release the POWER button, but keep holding the home Button down, again for about 10 seconds (this is also known as DFU mode). Itunes will report back that a phone has been detected in recovery mode, although the screen is black. If iTunes was shut down, it will automatically open and report the said message.
If the screen shows anything else like a cable to iTunes graphic (tether), try again, you goofed.

4.) Option click on restore, it will ask you for the location of the iPhone1,1_1.1.4_4A102_Restore.ipsw file. Locate the file you previously downloaded and select it. Click open. Another option is to locate it from within your already downloaded images from when you originally updated your iPhone. The image file is located at: Users/(your username here)/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates folder. There should be a few of them in there so make sure you select the 1.1.4 one, it is the only one that will work with this method.

5.) When the restore completes you should receive the error number 1015.

6.) After your iPhone reboots (after you clicked away the 1015 error), your iPhone will automatically go into recovery mode (not to be confused with DFU mode). It should look like a tether USB cable pointing to iTunes image)

7.) Open iLiberty and kick your iPhone out of recovery mode.

8.) Run the Kiphone utility and downgrade your baseband... VERY IMPORTANT: DO NOT iERASE YOUR BASEBAND. YOU CAN BRICK YOUR iPHONE!

9.) Restore your iPhone with the previously mentioned 1.1.4 restore image one last time

That's it!
Now if you want to unlock/jailbreak again feel free to do so with iLiberty
You are now the proud owner of a fully restored (and possibly) unlocked/jailbroken iPhone with the proper baseband. All is well in the Apple iPhone world again. Now, don't go updating your iPhone again until the iPhone Dev group releases iPhone pwnage tool 2.0
Have a nice day and remember to support your iPhone Dev Team!
:D
Oh yeah, don't forget to download and update iTunes 7.7 again after you are done.

WOW bloody finally i get my iphone in working condition. thanks martinez!!!

i got nowhere for many days simply because I thought my phone was in DFU mode but it wasn't. your screen will go completely blank when it is in DFU mode:

ONE hint: the manual way of putting your phone in DFU mode is tricky. I suggest using Iliberty+ to put your phone into dfu Mode

then

1. using itunes 7.5 (not 7.7), press shift and restore. select the 1.1.4 firmware you can download (you'll be able to find links on Google for this fw)

2. let it restore...should take about 5 - 10 mins

3. you should get a 1015 error. this is normal. if you get a error in the 1600's then there may be some problems. you will get error 1015 because you still have the baseband from the 2.0 upgrade you did earlier.

4. open iliberty+ and "kick out of restore mode". this should not take more than 20 seconds. this step is required to get the phone in "normal" condition so that you can run the modded ziphone app.

5. once that is done, run the modified ziphone by kiremk with all three boxes checked.....let it do its thing. it should take about 5 - 10 mins...

6. once that is done, i got an error on my iphone saying "Repair Needed - Iphone cannot make or receive calls" this is normal....don't worry about this....this will be fixed when you restore again to the 1.1.4 fw.

7. put your phone again in dfu mode either by manual mode or by iliberty+. then shift and click restore in itunes. select the 1.1.4 fw. let it restore.

8. after the restore you should NOT get any errors including the 1015 error which you got before...

9. Then i used the normal ziphone 3.0 and all was OK!!

my only question is if i would like to use WinPwn now can I? or will I have to resore back to 1.1.4 then use winpwn?

thanks guys....I am really glad my thing worked and If anyone needs any help i will be more than happy to help......PM me if u need anything!

cheers from INDIA!

thanks for the help in advance....

To be honest there is only two advantages, the ability to upgrade to 2.0 and the ability to do a backup with every sync. Yes, you can load custom images, obviously you need to have been jailbreak/unlocked first in order to accomplish this, but this is where you have to be most careful, some of ZiPhones methods are really buggy and if you search Google, you will see just how many iPhones have been bricked using sub-par hacks. Your mileage may vary.

To replace the files you deleted when downgrading... You don't HAVE to, but you can, as long as you don't hit the restore button and try to update your firmware again. That is, until the pwnage 2.0 comes out...
I am not a fan of ZiPhone, the developer of that app has proven he knows better how to brick your iPhone and not really code too cleanly, that guy's a wannabe... Do a Google search, you will see. His methods re-write/hack the baseband, instead of just unlocking it (unencrypt it)... It's your choice but honestly, don't say you weren't warned when you brick your iPhone the next time you try to upgrade or downgrade firmware or basebands.

Ok, so I am sort of glad to know I am not the only tool who upgraded to 2.0 and basically made my phone no longer work. However, I am having problems downgrading itunes, finding firmware 1.1.4, and basically everything to make my phone work again. It's stuck in the connect to itunes mode. If there is someone out there who can help, please let me know. I'm stuck and very frustrated. I did download the patch and that won't run on my mac. It keeps quitting.

Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to solve my problem. Please feel free to email me with tips at brookemarie1976@yahoo.com

this is becase you are doing the restore in recovery mode as opposed to DFU mode.

i was stuck on this for a couple of days untill i figured out how to put it in DFU mode....read my instructions...


download iliberty+ and there is an option to put it in dfu mode....once your screen turns blank and itunes says your phone needs to be restored, press shift and restore, select the 1.1.4 firmware you can download from apple, and let it restore!

I got to about step 7 of trying to downgrade and now my phone is frozen. It's stuck with the apple icon on the screen and won't do anything. None of my programs recognize it when I hook it up to the USB cord. Please someone help.

Dear brookegolff, I think you stuck in putting the iPhone (correct) in DFU mode. To boot the iPhone in DFU mode;

1. ) Turn the iPhone off (if it's rebooting in a loop no problem)
2. ) Hold Home + power button (10seconds), you will see now a picture of iTunes (release power!) while keep holding HOME until iTunes pops up a recovery alert.

Then flollow step 4 (http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=5811418&postcount=35)

I recommend to twicely upgrade to 1.1.4 (after step 4, repeat step 4).
Because Liberty can't kick out otherwise your iPhone (use ibricker http://ibrickr.com/downloads/ibrickr_v0.91.zip).

Goodluck :apple:

im doing all the steps just when I get to restore it the first time on itunes it will not restore and give me an error 20

Then you didn't correctly follow the tutorial. You didn't use iTunes 7.5!

I am having the same problems.. I have a jail broken unlocked iphone working on T-mobile. I upgraded to the official release of 2.0. I downgraded to 1.1.4. Here's the problem i couldn't make calls. Like everyone else my modem was 4.5.4. So i stumbled onto this site and tried with no success all the steps over and over and over. Every time all went fine but the modem wouldnt go back to 4.4.5. So i thought maybe the problem was that i was still using my t-mobile sim card. I went to lok for the at&t sim and couldnt find it. lol i guess i tossed it. So i bought a new sim and today have tried all this over again. Still no luck.... has anyone else been stumped and then finally got it?? ill take any suggestions. I havent had a phone since friday and my life is in that phone. I do have a restore point so all my info is safely waiting to be put back into the phone??? please help????

Thank you matinez!!!!

I have been trying all day to fix my iPhone. It finally works.

This is what I did:

1. Put the iPhone in DFU mode.
2. Restore in iTunes to 1.1.4.
3. Received error 1015.
4. Ran the modified version of ZiPhone with all 3 boxes checked. (The version matinez posted)
5. Put the iPhone in restore mode.
6. Restore in ITunes to 1.1.4.. again... No errors this time.
7. Used the standard ZiPhone 3.0 to "Do it all".
8. It works!

I've tried so many different methods today. I don't know if I ended up putting the phone in a strange state, but that second restore was necessary to get it back up and running.

Hope this helps. :D

You need to downgrade your baseband.
Did you use ziphone patched by KiremK?

4. Ran the modified version of ZiPhone with all 3 boxes checked. (The version matinez posted)

I had the exact problem and your steps and software worked....

In addition inbetween 1.1.4 "downgrades" i received a message along the lines of this Iphone cannot make or receive calls and sms...please contact apple!!

Worked great though,

I must have tried every forum and possible iphone hack software on the web over the last 3 days!!

Looking forward to the 2.0 Crack!!

Thanks again:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)

Can some Guruji help me ? ... Anyone knows about iPhone activation / unlock / downgrades ? I have the .ipsw files for V 1.1.4, 2.0, 2.1 .

"http://sleepers.net/guides/20-to-114-downgrade/" suggests a downgrade method for anyone who

upgraded (to 2.1.2) in a hurry & got locked again. My phone was purchased in US. Very basic

question - when it says "Put iPhone in DFU mode" - I did that. Now, I observe that iTunes

(7.6) doesn't see the iPhone at all in this phase - how to perform restore (to 1.1.4) then ?

My whole issue is "I got an iPhone with only Emergency call button & keypad on front. I wish

to activate & unlock & use extra Apps without ATnT or Airtel provider's sim. What to do ?"

Current firmware is 2.1.2

Ran Ziphone 3.0 1st (my Phone was 2.1.2 then) - before doing above stuff - it went on for

more than an hour - remained at a dialog “copying inga.dat
Entering recovery mode” & phone appeared to be booting 8-9 times during this. After an hour,

I clicked STOP PROCESS button & tried looking at other options. Shall I let Ziphone run all

night ? It however says on the s/w screen - make sure u have 1.1.4 , which I don’t :-( … yet
