No Home Button - PLEASE Help

[clericcodered]

OK...

So i bought an iPhone 2g some time ago and it all seemed good... except for the home button and the battery. I replaced the battery and it works fine. But i also noticed that the home button ribbon cable is shredded. (I want to mangle whoever owned this thing.) So i have no home button. No biggie. mQuickDo is fine. But i was messing around and flashed to a bad custom firmware. THEN, being the moron that i am, i flashed it back... To APPLE 3.1.3... So it's on the activate screen (with emergency call.) I can get it into recovery if i run blackra1n and then yank it after it shuts off. BUT i can't enter DFU. Not even through dfu.exe (won't recognize recovery mode iPhone) and i have tried almost EVERYTHING I can think of. iTunes won't restore to anything but stock apple firmware even if it's in recovery. A BILLION thanks to whoever can help me.

Your friend in pwning,
Fr0st



Small edit: my heart just had a little orgasm when i heard about tinyumbrella ( i really need to pay more attention to twitter) hope it will work...

So your problem is that you cant activate?

I mean if thats the case you can always borrow someones At&t simcard (Im assuming the iphone is american) if you live in the states, if not you can buy one on ebay and spend a few bucks with shipping, youll have to wait a few more days ofcourse.
