\"\"<\/p>\n

Having problems activating your iPhone? Don’t have original SIM-card? Cannot get passed emergency unlock screen? We have a solution:<\/p>\n

If you are already Jailbroken:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

So you have an iPhone with iOS 4.0, but don’t have the original SIM and stuck on the Emergency Call Screen:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download ifunbox software<\/a> (download link<\/a><\/noindex>)<\/li>\n
  2. Run ifunbox software and sync with phone<\/li>\n
  3. Go to \/private\/var\/root\/Library\/, delete original lockdown folder and put this lockdown<\/a><\/noindex> folder after you extract it from the zip file<\/li>\n
  4. Restart phone<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you are not jailbroken:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


    \nSherif Hashim\u00a0discovered that you can activate your iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS or even iPhone 3G without the original carrier SIM card. You need a \u201cphonebook sim card\u201d or 02 simcard. You can buy these type of sim at radioshack, bestbuy or     other<\/a> mobile electronics store (for example here<\/a><\/noindex>).<\/p>\n

    Once you get passed the Emergency Call screen, connect to Wifi, jailbreak using JailbreakMe.com<\/a><\/noindex> and unlock using ultrasn0w. Once that is complete you should be passed activation and unlocked (able to use any sim). If you get a different simcard error, do the following final step:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Download ifunbox software (download link<\/a><\/noindex>)<\/li>\n
    2. Run ifunbox software and sync with phone<\/li>\n
    3. Go to \/private\/var\/root\/Library\/, delete original lockdown folder and put this lockdown<\/a><\/noindex> folder after you extract it from the zip file<\/li>\n
    4. Restart phone<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      If you have itunes invalid response problem:<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Connect to wifi and ssh to your phone (via winscp, putty, terminal, etc).<\/li>\n
      2. Navigate to your lockdown folder (\/private\/var\/root\/Library\/).<\/li>\n
      3. Delete pair_records folder<\/li>\n
      4. Reconnect the cable and see that your invalid response problem is gone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        If you bought your iPhone 4 on ebay you will need the official sim (at&t) or a universal sim, like ones you can grab at bestbuy for $10 this will get you passed Emergency Screen.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
