Water damage iPhone 5, Stays 'Searching...' and is missing the MEID Number. The owner tried to update the iOS through iTunes and it failed with error code 16 and the phone was stuck on the loading bar/apple logo. With no prior back up/sync the phone will not restore or update. Its been tried on multiple computers/cables, firewall preferences are fine, connection to apple servers are fine, dfu mode, enter/exit recovery mode... It will not update or restore...
No MEID number??? Corrupt baseband? Bricked phone? Does the baseband need a new IC/NOR chip? IF SOOO I'd assume it needs to be programmed. That is where I draw a blank... If anyone has any information about this please reply back!
