Thanks to sirzrx from Hachint0sh for this incredible post. We finally have an answer for all the issues that iPhones were having post jailbreaking attempts. ZiPhone in few cases used to brick iPhones and users would go crazy. Here is how to fix iPones with No IMEI showing up, iPhones that show up only Repair Needed and all those Dead phones lying around.

Here is what sirzrx has to say:

2 days ago i tried to upgrade my OTB 1.1.1 phone to 1.1.3, i restored and used izphone 2.4 to jailbreak, activated and unlock but something went wrong i ended with:
- no IMEI
- no CCID
in 1.1.3:
- message” Repair neeeded, cant make call or something like that”
- ziphone wont jailbreak, activate.
- ziphone wont erase and repair my baseband
- ziphone will “work” scrolling and saying that cant find stuff, invalid data calibration tree and stuff.
in 1.1.1:
- i coulnd use the *#307# cuz my baseband was dead and the interface was laggy.
- message” Repair needed, cant make call or something like that”

Here is what i did:

0) Put ur phone in recovery mode and run Ziphone and select the erase the baseband and BL options

1) download this file : http://rapid$hare.com/files/95112188/DFU.rar.html and extract it somewhere. <<— replace the $ for S

2) download the 1.0.2 firmware from here http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite….8_Restore.ipsw

3) Launch itunes (i used the lastest version 7.6.1) and wait until it detects your phone. (and keep it open)

4) remember i told u to extract the DFU.rar somewhere? go to that folder and run the file DFU.bat, this will put ur phone in full DFU mode. (the iphone screen should be white by now)

5)Now in itunes, shift + click the restore button and select the 1.0.2 firmware. and wait.
