Iphone 4 [Rev A] wont activate

[sick idol]

Dead baseband maybe?

[distant cape]

[sick idol]

Baseband is the thing that manages telephony stuff
If it’s dead, phone won’t activate

I’d still try ideviceactivation though

[distant cape]

[sick idol]

Yes

[distant cape]

oh.

this part?

[sick idol]

higher

[distant cape]

?

or this

is this the correct part?

i think its the wrong part

[sick idol]

In my not-so-medical opinion, that baseband is dead!

[sick idol]

yes

[distant cape]

does that mean i have to get a new phone?

[sick idol]

or fix the baseband

[distant cape]

how does one fix the baseband

is it unfixxable ?

[cyan vale]

You would take it in for repair probably

[distant cape]

well i dont know if any of the repair shops in my areas would take it

i dont know how it died on the first place

like how can it be broken?

the imei is visible

[cyan vale]

is that the blue tools

the one with the 3

[distant cape]

yes its (number three)tools

[cyan vale]

I’d recommend not using it (chineese spyware) but I can’t stop you from using it

[distant cape]

i see

how can the baseband be broken though

[cyan vale]

oh

[distant cape]

i barely touched the device

[cyan vale]

@sick idol

[distant cape]

i only formatted it

[sick idol]

Actually
Put a sim in it

[distant cape]

can i put a new sim on it or an old one

since i have the small ones

[sick idol]

New

[distant cape]

alright then

[sick idol]

Try to activate it again

@distant cape does the error persist

[distant cape]

im trying to get the sim in since i have the small one

im using tape to keep it still

[true tapir]

what shows up when you press the i button at the Hello part of setup

[distant cape]

it shows the imei

but no iccid

[true tapir]

I feel like that's dead baseband

[distant cape]

how can it be dead if it has an imei

[distant cape]

its too small to fit

[sick idol]

ICCID and IMSI are sim-related though

[sick idol]

Try an old one ig

[distant cape]

the problem is i dont have an old one

[sick idol]

Tro

I can’t help with that, it’s on you

[distant cape]

damn

[surreal vortex]

it says no sim instead of no service tho

[distant cape]

it was a sim issue

bought an adaptor and fixed it
