Hi Guys,

I am a NEWB here.

Currently trying to restore my gf's iphone 3GS.

The phone been jailbroken by blackra1n and unlocked.

However, it was bricked and cannot be able to restart by blackra1n.

So i decided to restore the phone and put a newer version like iOS 4.1 on it.

So here is the things that i am not sure.

1. as the phone is being locked, will i be able to upgrade the phone and activate it without the original sim? Should i just download a custom firmware 3.1.2 for the phone so that i can activate it by blackra1n and then upgrade to a newer version later on?

2. If not, will i be able to update the phone to what version of iOS in the case that i can activate, jailbreak and unlock it.

I been googling these stuffs for the whole night but just get lost here.

Any suggestion will be great and much appreciated.

Thank you very much !!

You little help and save my life. :)
