If you mind, that would be great, thanks. I used to have the "Connecting. Please Wait" message all the time and it never went away, but then some one here linked me to a fix (forgot who, sorry) and I was able to use it but only send and not receive. Then sometimes, in all of a sudden, I receive all the replies at once but that's like once every two weeks or something. This is weird.

Oh my God... come on!!! Now it say:

"No Sim Card installed.. Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate the iPhone".. now where am I going to get an AT&T sim card?????

juls1585 · 11-04-2009, 09:14 AM

Turn the phone off. Put the sim card in and restart. You may have to also reset network settings and then it will come up

I turned the phone off then on but it's still at the same screen. I think my Dad still has an AT&T card from last November when we were in new york.. he bought it to use it there but not with an iPhone, just a separate line. Do you think it'd work for activation?

juls1585 · 11-04-2009, 09:31 AM

It should. What version of the iPhone do you have?

Have you put your original sim card back in?

TarekElsakka · 11-04-2009, 09:32 AM

This iPhone is locked to AT&T.. but I don't have an AT&T sim card. I only have a MobinilEgy one, which isn't valid for activation, of course. So now I am stuck with a dead iPhone. I am really pissed off now since I don't have any alternatives to use until I get this sorted out >_>.

Never mind, I fixed it. All jailbroken and unlocked now, yay! Thanks juls <3.

Thank you very much.

Tarek... i dont trust geohot, or any of the rain methods.

Use Pwnagetool like how i did. It creates a custom ipsw without updating the baseband. Thatway you'll still be on 3.0 firmware but running 3.1.2 functions.

Pwnagetool has never failed me, im still unlocked.
