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...
