ok so i just bought an iphone 2g off ebay. i got it, popped in my sim card, updated my data plan and everything was working great. it was jailbroken though and i wasnt sure i wanted it that way so i went to do a factory reset. it all seemed to be going well until it was finished and did the last restart. now its stuck on the emergency call screen and in itunes it says "There is a problem with your iphone. We're sorry, the iphone you connected is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."

What can i do to fix this? i had it do a backup before it restored it. is there a way a can manually restore this back up?
