It may be reported stolen which wouldn't be a good idea to buy.

**lucky999** · 02-02-2011, 09:51 PM

**Stray** · 02-02-2011, 09:52 PM

That probably is why.

**lucky999** · 02-02-2011, 09:57 PM

I hope not

**Stray** · 02-02-2011, 09:58 PM

Hopefully but that is usually the case. More likely you may not be able to restore. Actually you won't be able to at all.

No problem at all and good luck.

**lucky999** · 02-03-2011, 07:03 AM

Hey not the case of stolen wrong pass word enter the guy says ......now it restore in iTunes

It doesn't sound like its disabled. If it were disabled it would tell you you have to take it to Apple and nothing else.

It seems to be in recovery mode. You should do a restore on it. Which it seems you've done it. You can jailbreak it but unlocking takes some work if you upgraded it to 4.2.1. You also need to figure out which iPhone it is...

It restore but after doing that now iTunes say the sim card inserted in this phone does not appear to be supported and the phone screen stuck in the iTunes sign now what I do?? Thanks

Like I said you need to figure out which iPhone it is bc you need to jailbreak and unlock it. Nobody can help you if you don't know what iPhone it is

**lucky999** · 02-03-2011, 11:45 AM

Is there a way to know without iTunes if it's 3G or 3GS I really don't know by looking on the phone sure not a 4g

**Stray** · 02-03-2011, 11:47 AM

Look at the back. Are the letters that say iphone shiny or just a dull gray?

**i.Annie** · 02-03-2011, 11:53 AM

Hook it up to f0recast from ih8sn0w.com and it will tell you.

**Stray** · 02-03-2011, 12:07 PM
