IPhone 2G 8GB/Unlocking

[infowire]

So someone handed me a previously unlocked phone that they decided to update through itunes... so it got locked again. I don't have any clue how they unlocked it or what firmware it is.

All i know it's an 8GB NON-3G IPhone. All i can get to is the Emergency Dial screen and i was able to make it call itself (*#301#) but that got me no where. Then i tried to get it in DFU mode, but no luck. None of my computers nor itunes recognize the phone when i plug it into the firewire.


Model A1203

Ive tried Zphone, winpwn, quickpwn, pwntools.... non recognize the phone.


All the help will be appreciated!

use quickpwn for windows http://www.modmyi.com/forums/iphone-...d-windows.html
^^^ this is for firmware 2.2.1

yeah all those tools require for the phone to be recognized by windows/itunes

put into DFU mode How To: Enter DFU Restore Mode - ModMyi - Wiki
then plug into iTunes

i cant get it into DFU mode i tried it a million times.

[Broomhead]

try again but this time hold the buttons longer, maybe like 45 seconds

when i turn off the phone and then i hold home and power button and it shows the apple logo and goes black and then it shows the apple logo again and then it stays black (powered off) and nothing is happening.

I hope i don't have to get one of these: http://rebelsimcard.com/virtu/

In dfu mode the screen will stay black. DFU mode is the problem.
power off the iPhone
plug into iTunes
Hold home and power for 10 seconds
release the power button
hold the home button until iTunes recognizes it in DFU mode (could take up to 45 seconds)

Did you try using a usb cable instead of a firewire?

[infowire]

i don't have a usb cable... whats wrong with firewire? I mean the cable i have is from like a second gen ipod...

[infowire]

It has been detected via USB cable. For people in the future... FIREWIRE does NOT WORK.

I know the problem you are going through. I have an O2 sim which activates OK but trying with an Vodafone sim gives a different sim detected error.

Looks like there is a problem!

i have the same problem my computer couldn't recognize my iphone, i have t-mobile. the reason why is that i restored my iphone and it did go back on so i called t-mobile and helped me by, downloading itunes or upgrade it thenplug in the ubs cord to your phone but befor you plug your phone in make sure its turn off by holding the top button and the home screen at the same time.and then hold down the home button while you plug in the cord...then it should have the itune and the usb picture on your phone..but heres one thing when idid that it still didnt recognize my iphone soo they said i needed another cord soo i got another one and it worked......but know im trying to unlock it again and im have problems
