Emergency Call Screen & 4.0.1

Hey all, I bought a 3G from the US, which came locked of course. It's on the emergency call screen. The phone was running 4.0.1 as I was told by the seller.

I've tried Redsn0w but using 4.0 as all the tutorials state, no dice. I've tried making a 4.0 firmware in pwnage tool, no dice, iTunes doesn't like me going backwards on the firmware builds.

What are my options? Even if I could get past the activation I could log into safari and get wireless and then go to the unlock website in safari.

Any solid advice?

Thanks!

 

Even if it's a deactivated card? I have one kicking around somewhere...

 

Awesome, it works, thanks.
