virginizing error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

im not really sure if this is where i can ask for help but hopefully it
is..im not quite sure what i did wrong, the phone was unlocked with anysim
when it was on 1.0.2 then it was accidentally updated..i tried using one of
those scripts to re-virginize it..i went through with the following
instructions:

virginator 0.3

--by benanzo

This script gives you the option to just backup your
seczone, or backup and re-virginize.  
It is a completely automated
method to re-virginize your baseband.

All credit goes to the iPhone Elite dev team.

HOW TO:

1) Download the verginizer pack here:
    http://rapidshare.com/files/64647223/virginizer_pack.zip.html

2) Unzip it.  This will create a directory called "virginizer_pack"

3)) Put the file "virginator.sh" into the "verginizer_pack" directory.

4) Copy the "verginizer_pack" directory to your iPhone.

s5) Use MobileTerminal or SSH to change to the "virginizer_pack" directory.

6) Give "virginator.sh" permission to execute:
    ./chmod +x virginator.sh

7) Execute virginator.sh and follow the prompts.
    ./virginator.sh

If errors occur they will be saved in "error.log" in the virginizer_pack
directory.

after doing all of that i thought i had it..it went through right until the
very end sumthing to do with bbupdater messed up and this is what i got in
the error log:

==================

ERROR: There was a problem with virginizing.

I think you must first downgrade baseband from 4.01.13 to 3.14. Guide can be 
found 
at http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband.

16(Resource busy)
Unable to create "/usr/.../seczone.backup"

...

I think my iPhone modem firmware totally destroyed! Have any ideals?

HI,
I had the same problem and my Phone was always in "no service" state so  I made 
a
little analysys.
The script fails because the iUnlock call in virginize() is not able to do the 
work.
I fixed the problem with the following steps:

1) Copied Ierase from pc into virginezer_pack directory on iphone

On the Iphone virginezed_pack dir i did:

Launchtl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist
(In my case i got a "no such process" error  but the goal was to be sure comm 
was not
running) 

The script fails because the iUnlock call in virginize() is not able to do the

B) cp 401secpack into secpack (not the 301secpack! used by ierase cmd) 
C) chmod a+x ierase
D) ./ierase
E) ./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls eliteloader.bin
F) ./bbupdate -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (may be is not 
required but
i did)
G) ./virginator.sh 

The error message form the script disappeared and  "no service" changet to 
signal
strengh indicator...

I hope thi can help you
Many thanks to the team!

Yeah, I did the same like polliccio. But my iPhone have no modem firmware 
before. It
meant my iPhone have no IMEI, no WIFI, no Bluetooth, no sound. When i run 
./iUnlock
it show:

Dumping: A03FA000-A03FC000
16(Resource busy)
Unable to create "/usr/.../seczone.backup"

I copy ieraser to /usr/bin, run "Launchtl unload -w
/System/Library/LaunchDemons/com.apple.CommCenter.plist",
turn off iPhone then turn on again,
do step from D to G like polliccio:
D) ./ierase
E) ./iUnlock ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls eliteloader.bin
F) ./bbupdate -f ./ICE03.14.08_G.fls -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep (may be is not 
required but
i did)
G) ./virginator.sh 
- I get warning FW not equal
But OK
I do restore software again to 1.0.2
My iphone work with WIFI, bluetooth but the EMEI still begin with 0046...
I upgrade to 1.1.1 (maybe you no need)
Downgrade again to 1.0.2
Then, do ./virginator again 
Now, it show: FW equal 
My iPhone alive gain after 1 week totally dead!

:)Many thanks

Yes I see what the problem is.  There's no 401secpack being used in 
virginator.sh for
iUnlock to fix a 4.0.1 baseband so the iUnlock command will fail without 
stopping the
script.  This means that when virginator.sh checks the baseband after 
virginizing it
will report that error since nothing was actually done to the BB.  The above 
steps
should fix it, as well as downgrading to 3.14 prior to running virginator.sh.  
I'll
update virginator.sh to check BB version and load the appropriate secpack prior 
to
virginizing.

polliccio,
Could you just take a look at your fix and confirm for me that your code is 
accurate?
I'm a bit of a noobie and the Terminal isn't recognizing the command 
"Launchtl". Is
"1" the letter or the number or a typo? Additionally, when you write "ierase" I
assume that means "ieraser" and not some other application, yes? Once again, I 
just
want to make sure I'm accurate.

Lastly, when you wrote "cp 401secpack into secpack", is that in the 
Virginizer_Pack
directory or somewhere else because I don't have the secpack file in my 
directory.

Any advice or light you all can shine my way will go a long way in allowing me 
to
recover my much appreciated and used iPhone.

Thanks a great deal.

Not Launchtl, but launchctl - meaning launch control, that is why ctl.

Automated Virginizer
--------------------

1. using Installer, add http://i.unlock.no as a source using Wi-Fi on the iPhone
2. Once installed, under UNLOCKING TOOLS category use "The Virginizer" 
depending on
the version you want to downgrade your baseband.
