Hey chinamobile,
Hate to break it to you but there's no way you can downgrade the baseband as some have manage to downgrade to Fw 2.1 but not the baseband. You need to get a new hardware unlock simcard that will work v Fw 2.2 and is available online for purchase. This post has been edited by davidgary73: Dec 5 2008, 02:44 PM |

QUOTE(chinamobile @ Dec 5 2008, 03:19 PM) Omg. Those who are using hardware unlock..they are pretty dead. A luxurious 3G iPhone turns to a very expensive iPod Touch...big OUCH!! I understand about new turbo sim. But what about those people with hardware unlock?  They need to send it back to where the got the phone and hope to have a replacement if theres's such thing. That why everyone here insist of a proper unlock unit and buying a US, UK or even hardware unlock will lead you to a never ending turmoil of solving issues with no service, can't upgrade frimware etc while everyone is getting thier firmware upgrades with no wories on an official unlock sets. @g3n0c|d3 nokia posted a picture of it on hardware unlock: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/836942 This post has been edited by davidgary73: Dec 5 2008, 03:41 PM |

QUOTE(pjastro @ Dec 5 2008, 03:44 PM) OK, I am one in 2.2 turbosim with the old baseband. Correct. Downgrading firmware will never downgrade the baseband after a Fw 2.2 update. Only Pwnagetool(Mac) can retain your baseband while upgrading your firmware to fw 2.2 without a glitch.I did help one of my friend to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 but the baseband remained at 02.28.00 so no luck even downgrade back to 2.1. My source told me 2.2 support new turbosim out. But not stable at the moment. My advise to those using turbosim on their lock phones- Use pwnage tool if you want to upgrade to 2.2. It will remain the old 2.1 baseband. For those upgrade the baseband, on to 2.2 on your locked phones you are virtually out of the possibility of software unlock if available in a near future. Looks like the software unlock will be based on the old baseband 2.1 and not 2.2. Anyway, there's a few sites selling the sims that works v Fw 2.2 and like you said..it's not proven to work well yet. Read the Interview With A Dev Team Member. They mentioned about the baseband. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/790913 This post has been edited by davidgary73: Dec 5 2008, 08:52 PM |
