Cant restore iPhone baseband, help please :/

if the iPad baseband is installed your ****ED youll need to create a custom firmware,NEVER install the iPad baseband unless you know what it means and what it can do you can never update with stock firmware and your GPS will be very buggy if it works at all,if you need any help pm me

 

Not much you can do more..
You have bricked your phone.

 

In your case as far as I know- no..., sorry...

 

The bootrom is locked, you cannot change it.

It is the most known way of bricking your phone- update to 5.0.1 and flashing 6.15 baseband. This screws the phone very bad.

 

Its done, you should have never tried installing the ipad bb.
Sounds like its a newer 3GS that the updated the baseband and dont allow the installation of the ipad bb.
You fried the radios.

 

I've done dozens of these and I've only ever bricked like two. this was mostly cause I used the wrong version of redsnow. Stupid, I know. If it's one of the newer ones and the iPad bb was never there even though you tried flashing, simply put it in DFU mode and do a regular restore from itunes.

Also, if it is a newer 3gs, take it back to the apple store and they will replace it. Just DON'T say that you tried flashing the baseband.

 

Yeah if it was that easy.
They know at the Apple store when they plug it in for diagnostics and won't replace it for free.
Worth a try though.

 

She's gone, u killed her, may she rest in peace
Please be more careful with your next phone, there's plenty of info on this site to get things done right, and NOT brick ur next phone.

 

It is that easy. I've done it twice to those two phones I accidentally bricked and once for a friend. Just make something up on how it got to that state. Their diagnostics only tells them stuff like call times and how many calls are dropped. Also battery info, and some other stuff. If there's no functioning OS on there, there is no way for them to get the diagnostics. Heck, they can't even see the serial number and they have to read it off the SIM tray.

 

In the past knuckleheads would put the phone in the microwave/oven. If it doesn't turn on you can't diagnose it right?

 

Don't think there's anything else you can do to bring it back to life

 

I have heard of that, bit overkill though isn't it! Surely you could just short the charging point?
Not that I agree with it, but I guess if there is no other option.

At least OP will know for next time - research, research, then research some more!

 

its not bricked, worse comes to worse the BB is ****ed up

 

What if it does turn on but theres no wifi, BT or baseband info.
They will know unless it cannot turn on at all but that's not the case with the OP at the moment.

 

That phone is bricked best try the apple store you may get lucky

 

The OP could remove the back cover in 10 secs, and then unplug the battery lead, (that would keep it from coming on)

 

Easy, in this case you just do a restore to the current firmware. When you do this you'll just get the restore loop and the only way it'll function is if you restore to 4.1. You take it to the Apple store, put on your best sad face, and let them try to restore, which it won't. At this point they decide to give you a replacement if it's under warranty.

 

Good to know how to pull it off I guess
