Hi all,

I've searched for this and haven't been able to find a definitive answer, so I'm hoping someone might have been in the same boat as me.

I'm still running FW 1.0 (1A543a), baseband 03.12.06_G, unlocked using a pre-1.1 version of AnySIM. I'm also using a Mac.

I'd like to update the FW, to 1.0.2 initially and then beyond. Do I need to revirginize? I'm assuming that the older version of AnySIM used for my unlock will have damaged my baseband, but all of the revirginize scripts seem to specify FW 1.0.2 only.

I've also found some posts from people claiming a simple restore to FW 1.0.2 in iTunes will work, without any preparation - but others seem to have tried this and wound up with the wrong IMEI.

Has anyone been in this situation and successfully upgraded their FW? Any advice would be gratefully received. Also apologies if I've noobishly overlooked something glaringly obvious ...

Many thanks,
Matt
