Ziphone 2.4 - Unauthorized Bootloader Downgrades??

Why is it with every step forward this app takes a step back? According to this thread on Hackint0sh.org, users of the new Ziphone 2.4 are getting more than they signed up for when using ZiPhone. It appears that if you use the macro commands that were/are designed to make you do more with less are doing exactly that, they are downgrading your baseband when you are not asking for it.

Seems as though if you run:
ziphone -Z Y : activates/jailbreaks/unlocks AND downgrades bootloader (despite no documentation on this)
ziphone -Z N : some reports say this does in fact unlock the phone when it shouldn't.

This is the case for botht he GUI and the commands line app. (selecting the checkbox's)

Well I would be pissed if i had done that to be quite honest, because downgrading your bootloader (the process itself) comes with some risk. Once there everything should be fine (as far as we know) but if something goes wrong during the process you could very well end up with a bricked iphone. And what if i didn't want a downgraded bootlaoder??

This undoubtedly will/should be fixed and a plea should be made to Zibri to test his stuff more before releasing. I am sure he has enough followers who would donate or alpha/beta test for him.

here are the full Lsit of Commands:

ziphone -j = Jailbreak
ziphone -a = Activate
ziphone -u = Unlock (Works on both BL3.9 and BL4.6)
ziphone -e = Erase Baseband (BL 3.9 only)
ziphone -b = Downgrade Bootloader from 4.6 to 3.9, update baseband to 4.03.13 and patch the unlock.

ziphone -D: Enter DFU Mode.
ziphone -R: Enter Recovery Mode.
ziphone -N: Exit Recovery Mode (normal boot).
ziphone -C: Make coffee (checks MD5 sums on included DAT files)


I Still use ZiPhone2.0 on the mac to do most of my dirty work, it's the most stable in my opinion. iPhone.Unlock.no GUI is very well done as well, and Independence has released 1.4b with a modified Gunlock which I will be reviewing shortly.

Here are the commands issued with -Z Y and -Z N, if Zibri can make such simple mistakes (with HUGE side effects) in the code, then how will he develop the code for future firmwares/unlocks etc??

that's with -Z Y

Code:

  if (Z==1) {
  unlock=true;
  jailbreak=true;
  activate=true;
  chimei=false;
  ierase=false;
  bl39=true;
  dfu=false;
}

and that's with -Z N

Code:

  else if (Z==2) {
  unlock=true;
  jailbreak=true;
  activate=false;
  chimei=false;
  ierase=false;
  bl39=true;
  dfu=false;
}
