You need an AT&T sim card then put it in plug it in to your pc and open iTunes. It'll activate the phone. Btw don't upgrade firmware version.

Wow you really need a dictionary in your life more than an iphone.

Does it take you more time to spell words in this ridiculous fashion or does it come naturally?
 
Why even wazte your time with a firzt gen iPhone? Juzt uze it az an iPod Touch, dude.

I cant... All i can get iz the "Emergency Call" screen


I read the restore Sticky and learned how 2 do that and did it... Sayz im now on 3.1.3... But when i open Redsn0w 0.9.2 it sayz.. "Unable 2 recognize specified IPSW" and im goin straight 2 the iPhone Software Upgrade folder so i dont get it :confused:
 
Thx @ Pujolz... Go0d link but now i got another prob =( LoL... Step 2 sayz... Start redsn0w 0.9.4 and point it to the respective original iPhone 3.1.2 firmware to proceed... I didnt have 3.1.2 so i d/led it and uzed HJsplit 2 combine the filez and get the .IPSW... started Redsn0w and it sayz the same thing... unable 2 recognize... Freakin suckz man

To quote one of the best movies ever:

Mr. OP, what you've just said... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
