    as title said, this is a brand new iphone i just bought. i jail broke it with blackra1n but it still required me to activate the phone. What would be the right way to get rid of the activation process so i can go in the menu and be able to run blacksnow in order to unlock the newest firmware, thansk in advance

    i managed to fix my problem by using my desktop instead of 2 laptops i tried. I ran blackra1n on first try it it worked, it got pass the activate screen. Same way i did on my 2 laptops but always required to activate it. Funny it worked on desktop but not laptop. Well, thanks for you help and i thought i like to share my experience.

    Hi everyone.
    I have an issue with a 3gs on 3.1.3
    I jailbroke and managed to get blacksn0w to work,or so I thought.Then the iphone crashed.
    I have restored to 3.1.3 as it will not accept any other firmware,as you probably all know.
    I connected to itunes but ever sim that I put in says the usual invalid sim
    Any help would be appreciated as its my mums new phone lol!!!
