Enough with the text typing please. You know nothing about the iPhone but you decide to sign up for the Public Beta and use that version. That seems highly illogical.


How do you KNOW you have a baseband problem? There is no way that Public Beta 5 damaged your baseband chip. None. So forget what you are reading and either stay at PB 5 and report any problems you have with the Feedback tool your received or go back to 10.3.3 with the link I provided you.

Ok that what happened to me and i went to bestbuy here in my country and they told me it’s the baseband problem but they can’t take it bcoz it’s 11beta may be it’s not bcoz of it and may be it’s now my problem isn’t how it happened my peoblem is i want to fix my phone and it’s in the warranty so if i downgrade the ios there will be no errors

They have no idea what they are talking about. Did you back up your iPhone prior to putting the Beta on it as was suggested? Then follow the link I suggested and roll back.


Also, what is happening on your iPhone right now that makes you think there is something wrong with it? What is going wrong? And why in the world did you sign up for the Beta?

So since you are new to the iPhone I am assuming this is a used phone. If it is not showing any modem firmware it sounds more like someone at one time opened it and messed with it and the broadband chip and possibly the radio chip have failed. You can try rolling it back and seeing if that fixes it, it won't be any worse than it is right now.

No it’s new and i made sure by checking the serial number and it’s been a month since i bought it and i use it very carefully all i did is i updated the sw so um sure it’s the reason and apple itself told me it has lots of bugs all i want to know are u sure that if i restore it with baseband bug it will restore smoothly all am afraid of that it could get bricked while doing it

If you have only had it a month it is doubtful it is new. If you checked the serial number with Apple then when does your warranty end? And if someone at Apple told you that the Beta could wipe out the baseband then they have no idea what they are talking about. If it is new, and you have your warranty, contact AppleCare and get the iPhone replaced.


And again, why did you put the Beta on it?

I have 320 days left i guess they told me there in bestbuy and they told me if it was 10.3 they would replace it at once but the thing is they can’t bcoz it ain’t official and i have to wait untill it’s official and they will try to restore it to ios 11but the problem is i read that i will not be able to do so with this bug

If you have 320 days left on your warranty it doesn't matter if you are running the Beta. There is NOTHING in the beta, no bug at all, that can remove the firmware from the baseband chip. That will only be caused by a hardware failure which if you have a warranty is covered regardless as to whether you are running iOS 11. Call AppleCare and arrange to have it exchanged.
