This is the tool used by Apple to updateflash the Baseband of XGOLD basebands. It also allow to do some more things like changing the IMEI SV or just powercycling damaged baseband.

The tool seems to make a connection to the device to flash the firmware, the eeprom and the bootloader. The Device is the Emergency Bootloader of the iPhone which also is the only gate to flash the baseband.

There have been some tries to make custom fls / eep files ( which are needed to flash the baseband of the device ). This method could bring back 06.15.00 devices back which are now damaged.

With this tool it is not possible to downgrade any baseband version.
