Look at Post 11 and 12 on this thread. Even with baseband 02.11.07, the baseband has already been patched.

Baseband 01.45 is the modem firmware the iphone dev team is working on. But if your not looking for the soft unlock that their working on, it doesnt matter. :)

Damn you. >: P

Just read that over. But Now I'm kind of curious on how on earth I could of gotten that patched baseband to begin with. When was this version of the baseband introduced though now? cause when I first jailbroke it, I updated from 2.0 to 2.1 using the quickpwn method. Now I used the pwnagetool from 2.1 to 2.2

Was the baseband update in the 2.1 update perhaps? Cause no where on the dev blog or on the internet I have found such information.

Also, with the ability to create the custom ispw, isn't it possible to use the pwnage tool / quickpwn to put in the modified baseband in the near future (like a form of downgrading it)? Or is that just not possible due to certain limitaions, Cause I'm kind of curious about this now. Thanks guys

Also, Damn you Greatmoo.. damn you for spoiling my fun :p and yeah, Looking to softmod it in the near future. Using my Iphone in Poland using ERA and want to bring it back to Canada in the future using ROGERS. :(

Edit: also welcome to neowin. :p

You may still be just fine.

The advice we give is that the closer you are to 01.45.00, the more likely you are to be eligible for a software unlock should one become available. All we know for sure is that the baseband in firmware 2.1 ruins any chances at the moment, but we haven't taken the time to look into 02.11.07 in any great detail just yet. So sit tight and we'll find out soon enough.

As for downgrading the baseband, holes have been found to downgrade 01.45.00 to lower, but definitely not the others just at the moment. This is due to simple code in there to deny baseband upgrades to anything lower than what's currently on the device, code we haven't managed to patch yet.

Ah, thanks for answering my Questions Rob. Guess I forgot to use Pwnagetool on the 2.1 firmware to keep the original baseband. Well, Only time will tell ;)

Keep up the good work guys :)

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Cheap labour, the same as the U.K. China pays their people pittance.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
