No Service, Bluetooth or WIFI - I think BASEBAND problem

Ok so here is my situation and i hope someone can help me i had great success with my previous question and pollytintop was brillient in assisting me on getting it up and running again.

So far i purchased a damaged Iphone from eBay hoping to get it working again problems with the device were:

WATER DAMAGED NOTHING WORKED

i removed the logic board and gave it a GOOD clean and soak in 99% isopropyl alcohol and tested it in my other half's working Iphone it now starts up and works with out crashing my previous question is here bought water damaged iPhone cleaned with 70% alcohol

after i got it up and running with the help of pollytintop i updated it to ios 5.01 now my problem is i have no wifi no service and no bluetooth after researching the issue it seems to be a baseband issue? i think the previous owner may have jailbroken it and with me updating it through itunes its somehow messed up the device - i can reset , restore.. but after a restore through itunes i get a message saying the device may be damaged and can not be activated. so it needs to be jailbroken to activate the phone is then recognised perfectly in itunes.

i have tried updating baseband through redsnow it completes but the wifi and bluetooth are still greyed? on another forum some one stated the iphone must be activated through itunes before uodating the baseband but this cant be done at the minute as i get the damaged message and cant be activated.. untill i jailbreak then my device is recognised correctly

hope i have made sense and hopefully some one is able to assist me thanks in advanced

at the minuite the phone is having another good soak in alcohol

here are the instruction i have used in flashing the basband

hi, no i cant see the imei number also no wifi or bluetooth :(

its also restarting every 3 minutes or so but its definitely not the battery as its from the other i phone that i have only just recently replaced

try another battery..the one that worked before and see if it solves that issue. Unfortunately I think this is the end of the line-certainly I can't think of anything short of replacing chips. Try searching some of the online iphone shops on google and try sending them a message with these details and see what they can offer/price to fix.

tried the other battery but still no luck, i don't really want to spend much more on it, it was mainly a project to give me something to do - il just put it back up on eBay and see if i get back what i paid for it.

thanks for your help though you have been great at least now i can confirm the logic board as working but with no service when i re-list it

thanks again
