Hi everybody.
This is my 3rd 1.1.2 hardware unlock. the first 2 were very smoothly unlocked and worked perfectly.
My problem with this one is that after i succeeded with the hardware test point, i tried to execute anysim on my now 04.01.13G / 1.1.1 device. I had the "succefull" message from anysim but the cellular carrier signal indicator is not showing any signal. WIFI, bluetooth are working. My modem firmware is 04.01.03G and the CCID number is present in "setting/General".
Is it possible that i damaged the thin wire on the board while i was connecting the test points with the needle? or if it was damaged the WIFI also shouldn't be working? Because as i mentioned above the wifi is still working.
it would be really appreciated if somebody can answer me.
Thanks a lot.

UPDATE

I found what was wrong and it worked. Thanks anyway. I will write it bellow soon for people with the same problem as mine. Right now i am assembling my iPhone.

As i mentioned in my update, i solved the problem and it was my basebande that was damaged.
I will write what happened in details and how i solved it, but excuse me for tonight, it's 4:30 AM here and i've been working for more then 6 hours on that dam phone.
I feel so sleepy and tiered now, till tomorrow then.
Thanks.

Hi again,

What happened with me last night was the following:
I followed the "How to downgrade bootloader on out of the box 1.1.2" tutorial from iphone.unlock.no with my 3rd phone unlocking and this is when I had that problem.

The first 2 phones that worked very easily were unlocked by following the "How to hardware unlock the 1.1.2 iPhone firmware with the 4.6 bootloader" tutorial from hackthatphone.com
Both tutorials are similar except when you finish downgrading your bootloader with the test points. At this stage iphone.unlock.no mentioned to execute this command (bbupdater -f 111.fls -e 111.eep) to repair the baseband I guess.
The other tutorial doesn’t have this command, instead they tell you to restore to 1.1.2 and then restore back to 1.1.1 to repair back the baseband.

In brief after I used the first turotial (with the "bbupdater -f 111.fls -e 111.eep") command, anysim didn't work and I had no carrier signal.
So i switched to the second tutorial and used the restore option and my baseband was flashed and repaired and I continued by jailbreaking and anysim.

And by the way, never use the WIFI connection to accomplish the hardware unlock tutorial because after the first command that you execute, the WIFI will stop working and you will not be able to communicate with your phone. ALWAYS use the VT100 terminal from within the phone.
Please if I was wrong I would like for someone to correct me.

Hope I was clear enough in describing what happened with me and please excuse my bad English.
NB: to be 100% sure of your unlocking procedure, use the hackthatphone.com tutorial because I used it now to unlock 3 phones and succeeded.


Thank you and happy unlocking for everybody.

I have it from reliable sources that in 1.0.2 you can do the whole HW unlock over wifi, but you are correct in saying that wifi will cease to function after ienew in 1.1.1.

you tryed it on 1.0.2 and you didn't loose the wifi?
Because the fact that you are sending this command:
launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist, you are shutting down the commcenter that is WIFI,Cell signal and maybe bluetooth.

Did you repeat the entire tutorial from hacthatphone.com to get it working or just a 1 or 2 steps?
