Is your phone unlocked or hacked? If so, search the forums for the various methods to resolve your issue.

here is how i fix this problem:
First, i gotta tell you that my iphone was in a "lockdown "state (the IMEi 0049***) after upgrading to the firmware 1.1.1
the damn phone would not allow me to go only between the Activation Screen and the Emergency Call
let's get started:
1. downgrade the firmware to the 1.0.2 (I used method 2) Link (http://iphone.fiveforty.net/wiki/index.php/Downgrade_from_1.1.1_to_1.0.2)
or you can use the ibrickr to help you downgrade it.
2. download and install the AppTapp Installer (http://iphone.nullriver.com/beta/) then use ibrickr (http://cre.ations.net/creation/ibrickr) to install the Dock app to give access the homescreen
3. now you can use Dock to access AppTapp and stuff on your homescreen.(from the bottom right corner of the Emergency call screen)
4. downgrade the baseband to the original http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/DowngradingBaseband
5. After you are done with the downgrading, you can go to this link (http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elite/wiki/RevirginizingTool) to re-virginize your iphone.
6. now my iphone is unbricked and works like a charm.
