I think i broke my iphone?

[madjon73]

I had found a 4 gig iphone yesterday and tried today to unlock it and be able to use it with my T-mobile sim Card, well i had followed all the steps and everything was going fine, had jailbreak installed and i had downgraded 1.1.1 firmware on the iphone, (it was 1.1.2) but when I tried anySim it did not work, said it couldn't load something and it would quit and I should restart my iphone after it quit, so I did it, and then i tried to virginze the iphone, it said it couldnt load main execution script,(yes i already had BSD subsystem installed) so then I tried installing the baseband downgrader thinking it was the same as the virginizer and now my phones gone completely crazy, when its on its locked and says waiting for activiation, connect to itunes, and when i do connect it to itunes, this error comes up, "The iphone cannot be used with itunes because the SIM card is PIN locked or not installed. You must enter your sim pin or your sim car into your iphone in order to activate it." I was thinking of doing a restore but i cant even get that to show up because itunes doesnt detect it, it stops with that error. also on the iphone when i press the little "i" for information i guess, its says IMEI: unknown and ICCID: unkown, and a little box that says Iphone repair needed...?

What do i do? =[ please help.

Wow seriously dude, your a jerk. I had my iPhone stolen and know how it feels, it really sucks and for someone to get a joy out of doing something like that is just sick, and stop calling it "my iphone" because it isnt, why couldnt you just call someone in the recent calls and try to get it back to them, could you not afford an iphone yourself? Real shallow of you, karma will get you back. I dont think you deserve to be helped by anyone on macrumors.

Are you serious mate? I can fully understand that you would want spend a little time playing with it - hell it's an iPhone - but to go ahead in an attempt to unlock it and f#ck it up without any action to find out who owns it for a return, makes you a cu#t of a person.

Nevertheless, I will help you by informing you of the following fact: "What goes around comes around!"

hey, before you start bashing me and insulting me, get your facts straight, it had no sim card and no contacts, nothing, just a bunch of songs, and stupid photos of a dog and some xbox 360s. I guess they were just using it as an ipod, so i didn't steal anything, when I checked the about tab it said "Stevies Ipod" I'm assuming it was a little spoiled kid that just left it there and forgot about it, yea thanks for the help, I've been roaming the forums and learning a lot and when I finally join and try to receive a little help I get flamed and insulted, thanks for your support.

ill give you the benfit of the doubt. however what i would do to clear conscious is to take it to police station and see if anyone claims it. if not then they give it to you
i mean if i had lost it i would be looking for it without a doubt

as far as getting the phone to work, i wouldnt know.

I love too see the law of attraction in work or in action. The people who say the "secret" doesnt work well it is working here. You are desperate, frustrated and greedy and you dont believe anyone will help so, "your wish is my command" I suggest you to return the iphone. More problems will just come back if not greater. Your lessson will come!
