iPhone won't work and blank IMEI?

So I updated this iPhone 3G and now it won't pass the activation screen, it's not blacklisted because it was always mine and it won't even show on iTunes?

I could be wrong but I believe that's usually a hardware failure. I had something like that happen after I used Aptbackup in Cydia once on a 3GS. I took it to Apple and they replaced it under the warranty. Obviously you don't have a warranty though.

Sounds like a hardware issue.
Time to get rid of that dinosaur

That's a bummer! I have other newer iPhones so it won't be a big loss but it's always nice to have those working

eBay it and you can make like $20 off it

 

[Applejuiced]

Maybe $25 if you're lucky

I think I'd be able to make more money out of the 2G iPhone than that one because the first iPhone at least have a like vintage value lol

Put the original iphone away for 10 years and then sale it
