Hey guys,
Recently had a mishap where my iPhone 4 took a swim (slipped right from my fingers into a pot of water). I quickly disassembled the phone, and attempted to dry it out - with gentle heat and compressed air. A few days later, it still didn't work, so I took things up a notch and did a more complete disassembly, cleaning everything gently with rubbing alcohol, re-spraying it with the canned air, and reassembling. It was jailbroken and unlocked, running 4.0.1, but springboard would crash repeatedly and the phone would only work in safe mode.
I tried doing a restore using tiny umbrella to maintain the baseband and keep it from being upgraded, but it kept having errors and would not kick out of restore mode, so I bailed on TU and gave up on keeping the carrier unlock... did another restore, and got another error. Finally had to use terminal to edit /etc/hosts and put a "#" in front of an Apple IP in order to get it to complete the restore process.
When all was said and done, still no wifi. 🙁 BT will not turn on, though under settings-> general-> about it does list a bluetooth address but no wifi address, and wifi is still grey on the main preferences page.
I even tried a restore on a totally different computer, but no luck. Any ideas?
TIA...
