Problem: My friend tried to jailbreak/unlock his iPhone 4 with Greenp01son and now it's stuck on the skull with wheel, but this time the wheel is not spinning.

I have since put into DFU mode and I need to install IOS 4.3.3 so I can unlock it with a Gevey SIM but iTunes wants me to restore and update. :confused:
 
Just did that and and got error 1013 and now I'm stuck in Recovery Mode with the connect to iTunes screen.
TU kicks it out but it goes right back in.

"The sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported"

What's that about?

When I got stuck in the loop with JBing, TinyUmbrella wouldn't work to kick it out of the loop, so what worked for me is I downloaded the fix recovery for both 4.2.1 and 4.1 and running one of those when I was stuck in recovery worked for me. Try it.
 
Thats not the problem, I have 4.3.3 installed. The problem is that it won't take a sim card and activate. It says it's not supported no matter what SIM you put in it.
