I tried to restore the phone, and somewhere in the procedure subsequent to the phone reboots iTunes tells me the sim in the phone is not sustained or maintained. At present I am stuck by means of the phone not capable to boot (merely demonstrates the screen asking to attach by means of system/itunes), and itunes simply demonstrates the message that sim is not supported and does not let me do anything else to the phone.

This thread was initially or formerly for 3G owners who be able to utilize redsnow 0.8 or 0.9.2 to hacktivate without requiring an additional restore. The Pwnagetool be able to in addition be used. Blackra1n's hacktivation is problematical so it is not suggested (additional than determine to work in most situations).

What you necessitate to do is download pwnage tool and run that to jailbreak your phone. You determine to be capable to download a bunch of cool substance that apple does not permit, similar to a video recorder, mms etc. for illustration. When you are working pwnage tool it determines to ask you if you are using an official carrier and you hit it off "no". It determines to "hactivate" your phone and you would not necessitate utilizing a sim card.
