Help me with my iPhone problem?

[biggymac609]

k i got it to restore, now wen i turn it on, i see a screen with:
slide for emergency..

and the background is an itunes logo with a plug,
and it has the no sim card message

then a spinny wheel comes for 2 seconds, then it turns off

[cpjr]

Sounds like the phone isnt activated and the battery is dead.

[biggymac609]

phone is not activated

and battery i am sure is charged and it is plugged in

is there any other reason it would turn off my itself?

[cpjr]

Could be a hardware issue, really shouldnt just cut off. Especially after a clean restore.

Does it do that everytime?

[biggymac609]

yah it does

btw i was using it this afternoon and making calls it worked

right now it is restored, jus wont stay on the slide for emergency screen, shud i try to unlock?

^ Yes

[biggymac609]

should i use quickpwn?

[cpjr]

It still shouldnt turn off.

[biggymac609]

cuz quickpwn needs to recognize ur ipod, and it wont recognize mine since it wont stay on?

[Zwayne]

It still shouldnt turn off.

^ That's true. Is it plugged in when it shuts off?

Edit: Nvm, just read his last post. I was in the middle of posting this. Then I agree with cpjr, it would probably be hardware.

[biggymac609]

and by the way, when i plug it in, my itunes tells me it cannot activate my phone bla bla

^ That's true. Is it plugged in when it shuts off?

yes its plugged in

You said in the first post that it "wasnt working well" and the "sound wasnt working"

EXPLAIN IN DETAIL.

Cause I think your having a HARDWARE issue.

Itunes WONT activate the phone without an ATT simcard in it.

[biggymac609]

the sound wasnt working, which forced me to restore

now after much avail i restored, but it turns on, goes to emergency call screen, then shuts off right away

if its a hardware problem what can i do about it?

[biggymac609]

i dont want itunes to activate, i want to unlock it

btw, i never mentioned, it is 1st gen

[cpjr]

We know its a first-gen because of your previous FW version.

And I guess you could restore again, but if it still shuts off by itself....its hardware and the only thing you can do is take it to Apple IF its still under the 1 year warranty.

[biggymac609]

it's not under warranty, and i have voided it anyways i took it apart to change the battery

so ur saying theres nothing i could do?
