iUnlock: FW differences found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I ran iUnlock ICE03.14.08_G.fls elite......
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
got FW differences instead of identical FW

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.2 (never upgraded to 1.1.1 before)

Please provide any additional information below.
tried to downgrade baseband (even though i have never upgraded) by running 
bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep
and got the following error right after

.....

thought both issues might be related

Your firmware files (ICE03.14.08_G.eep/fls) are probably corrupt.

i have tried firmware files from several sources, and tried extracting them 
myself. 
it leads to the same error. 

it was reported by other users that if they downgrade their baseband, "FW 
differences will be solved".. for my case.. i have never upgraded.. so trying 
to 
downgrade doesn't help

so iUnlock is comparing the firmware files with what is in the iphone embedded 
firmware, or some information in iUnlock itself before concluding the "FW 
differences" ??

it might work out for me if iUnlock can force the writting of firmware without 
comparing since my baseband is completely empty now.. and i cannot rewrite 
anything 
on it

I had a similar problem. You may try this:

 Download ierase to your virginator_pack directory

 cp 401secpack into secpack (not the 301secpack! used by ierase cmd) 
 chmod a+x ierase
 ./ierase
... iUnlock ....

In your shoes i'll try three methods:

1) manually run bbudater (remember to stop commcenter) 

2) reload 1.02

3) at least load 1.1.1, hen 1.0.2 reunlock and repeat the virginization 
sequence.

I'used firmare images inside the virginiator_pack

ok.. i mentioned earlier that when i tried 
bbupdater -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep
i get
Error: Failed to download .EEP: Expected checksum D510 got 0FAC

now i try
bbupdater -f ICE03.12.06_G.fls -e ICE03.12.06_G.eep
i get
Error: Failed to download .EEP: Expected checksum D5BE got 0F02

so i don't think it's somethign wrong with my EEP file. this doesn't make sense 
at all.

I think your physical eep was damage. Did you try erase eep area and reflash it 
? or 
maybe hardware jod will help. I have all solution for hardware repair BB chip 
(with 
good physical BB chip).

Is there a "hardware" way to repair BB chip ? Tuananhdsm could you give details 
please ?

Original comment by lsdejar...@gmail.com on 1 Nov 2007 at 6:05

if you are mobile phone technican, you should have some equipment to do. Put 
out the 
BB flash chip and rebuild by an IC reflash tool box, then put back the IC into 
phone. Phone should work again. But this method is very heary and risk.
