We’ve been exploring different ideas with the 3G unlock, but this past weekend one of us hit a big snag. For whatever reason, all of our poking and prodding of the 3G baseband caused it to finally have a breakdown.   After one specific exploit run, all of a sudden our baseband stopped responding to the OS.   Even after multiple restore attempts, we were plagued with errors like this:

Somehow our software hacking had caused the baseband chip’s SPI bus to stop responding (so it looked like a hardware problem).   Even though BBUpdaterExtreme reported the correct baseband version, it failed basic tests like memtest:

If you’re familiar with the baseband revision history for the 3G iPhone, you may have noticed that the above captures were done at the original 01.45 baseband.  As dire (and hardware-related) as these messages sounded, though, there was a simple solution.  We just updated to 01.46 and then downgraded again (because we can run unsigned code on the baseband CPU) to 01.45.
