I'm guessing your phone was unlocked until you restored, so you have to re-unlock it.

Hook up to itunes and restore as a new phone, not from a backup. Just click restore and it will walk you thru.

When I connect to Iphones I get message that "This Sim card inserted in this phone does not seems to be supported". The simcard I have in my Iphone is a norwegian simcard, should I use the AT&T card I got with the phone?

Regards

I'll be honest, I don't know a lot about this but I would think you use the ATT sim.

Tks. The problem is then that I been asked if am an existing AT&T wireless customer or if I am setting up a new account. I d'ont want either since I am resident in Norway where AT&T have no services. Consequently I am not able to acess ITUNE page where I can start the restore. Any suggestions?

Regards

If I'm understanding you properly, you have purchased an iPhone and taken it to a country that doesn't have iPhones currently but which was unlocked in some fashion and so was functional with your local service's SIM card. If this correct then unfortunately what you've done is take an illegal (to Apple's thinking) but functional unit and upgraded to a legal but non-functional unit. At this point you have a couple choices.

1) If you are a Mac user you can download the Dev Team's jailbreak/unlock software and it will allow you to unlock and activate your iPhone again with the non-AT&T SIM.

2) Find someone willing to do this for you.

Without unlocking your iPhone you have a very nice but expensive paperweight.

Next time someone gives you advice to do something to your iPhone that you don't fully understand I'd tell them to play with their own units. That's why I never jailbreak or unlock friend's phones. If I screw up I'm responsible for them not having a functional phone anymore.

Kjell just reread your post and think I misunderstood. It was iTunes that asked you to upgrade, wasn't it?

Result is still the same. But solutions are still the same. You can upgrade and unlock that V1 iPhone using the Dev team software.

Maybe the guy should have waited more han 15 mins to pull the plug. How inpatient is that?? My restore took 2 hrs. 8 gigs takes some time

Kjell, I had the same problem as you.
Well, now you've got two options, either jailbreak it or you can just put the AT T card and make it work.

If you need help or want me to explain it just send me a PM and I'll help you through.
