Redsn0w fucked me!!!!!!!!! Hi my i phone 4 gets error when restoring… and stuck at Recovery mode. Help guys.. I and trying to fix it in my spare time. The phone was lost outside in her yard for the whole winter and recovered the next year. I have taken the motherboard and cleaned it with isopropyl alchocol. The phone works almost perfectly besides the baseband issues. I originally got the phone restored, and it was on the phone activation screen.

I could not activate due to carrier lock. I then got her to come over to try her SIM card and this is when it still didnt work. I assumed there was something wrong and tried restoring it. I got it restored and the phone now said connect to itunes. Itunes continuily could not activate the phone and kept giving me the error message '' cannot continue with activation at this time I then went for another restore, only to get error I read about this error and tried all solutions.

The furthest I have gotten was I hacktivated the phone and got it turned on completely. This gave me the ability to check eveythings working behaviour. I believe this is a baseband chip failure. I would like to know all possible solutions that could work. I am willing to solder and rip apart the motherboard because this is just a phone for my spare time. I've got the exact same problem, only i bought the phone online ,and the advert stated that it says connect to iTunes, for an astronomical amount i bought it, thinking that i would be able to fix it.

I tried updating it and if it is almost finished it gives the -1 error, i sent the phone in for repairs and they say that i need a new motherboard because there is a baseband chip failure, but it is the same price as a new phone.

Please tell me how you got it of the connect to itunes screen? You can activate the phone through a hactivate method.

If you dont have any base knowledge, just google "hacktivate iphone iOS 6" It is a very simple process. If you cant find anything on hacktivate just reply back here with your email and I can help you out. Show 10 more comments. Baseband Chip has a lot of glue arround it and inside it. I cleaned the glue arround and I used a heat gun at C for about min to seperate the Chip.

At least i destroyed the dots that connect the Chip with notherboard, i completely destroyed the motherboard. Dont try this. Better heat the Chip for about 10 min at C and if you are lucky this will work again.
