I wish to express some arpieciatpon to the writer for rescuing me from such a instance. After looking through the search engines and meeting views which were not helpful, I believed my life was over. Existing without the solutions to the difficulties you've sorted out as a result of your good posting is a serious case, and those that might have negatively affected my entire career if I had not discovered your web page. Your personal competence and kindness in playing with every part was invaluable. I am not sure what I would've done if I hadn't come upon such a stuff like this. I can at this point look ahead to my future. Thanks so much for the reliable and sensible help. I will not think twice to suggest the blog to anybody who should receive guidelines about this matter.

if your iphone is tuned into an ipod touch, if u have no signals and itunes is rejecting your phone and if any of unlocking programmes like iliberty is not helping, u will ind your peace with this little zip file. no matter how u did it, if ur baseband is changed to 04.05.04_g and u want to downgrade it, this works and this is the simplest way that works also. after u download the file, rght click on it and click on extract to****filename****. than click on the 'ziphone patched by kiremik' file with orange logo. if u tray to run the ile in winzip without extracting, it will not work properly.

I just want to thank the people who posted this thread with the file. I am from Manila, Philippines and i'm just one of those silly guys excited to upgrade my 2G iphone to version 2.0 and wala.. i got BRICKED. I've tried everything.. unlocking jailbraking and activating my iphone with every software i know.. but yes.. the IPOD features works but it has NO SIGNAL, therefore no SMS or Calls were sent in and out of my phone. I'm desperate of finding solutions in the internet, almost gave up.. until i've found this! IT"S BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN! THANK YOUUUU>> SALAMAT PO!

I'm running an iPhone 1.1.4 which was downgraded from a iPhone 2.0. Since the baseband didn't get downgraded in the process, I used KIPhone to downgrade my baseband from 04.05.04_G to 04.04.05_G. It did downgrade, but downgraded all the way to 04.03.13_G?? Any idea why or how? From here what is the best way to upgrade to 04.04.05_G? Thanks.

Hi, i have seen it yet that iClarified release a "How to" of my little toy.... @ Zibri: i don't want to make it my own tool, i wanted that the people can see that is YOUR tool that i have patched :D Sry if i had insulted you ... that wasn't my idea to do this.... KiPhone (patched ZiPhone) isn't working perfect i know.... but for 80 % of the peope how downloaded it, it works good. And by the way .... iDemocrazy3 is the same script how it ZiPhone 3.0 it is .... sry for my bad english...

I'm using the windows version and get to the GUI. I check off downgrade baseband and debug boot. When I click START the GUI disappears and nothing happens. Is anyone else experiencing this ? I really need my baseband restored badly. Thanks

Thanks so much - after hours of trial and error: it works! The funny thing is, that KiPhone crashed always - so i tried it on my desktop, iMac, and so it worked.
