SAM Unlock Failure/ Need to restore

I've tried a dozen times to get SAM Unlock 0.1.16-1 to work on

verizon iphone 4s 5.0.1, but each time failed...

Now it is showing me "slide to set up" with the grey screen in the background.

After trying this, it now doesn't even read a verizon card that came with it...

I keep getting "Only compatible SIM Cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert...."

is there a way to fix this? I conected to itunes and got a similar response, I can't even restore from backup because it doesn't give me the option...
