Emergency calls only (3G)

[Thommas88]

Hey. I got a iphone today from a friend that got it shipped from boston USA and well i need to unlock it. I got a Iphone 1g or girst gen to wich they dident sell here at when it was out and i managed to get that up and running with a norwegian simcard, But my 3G is stuck at emergency calls only.
What can i do ?
I have installed cydia but i can get into the home screen. What can i do to get to the home screen ?

Run redsn0w jailbreak to activate (hacktivate) it.

Yes i have done that. with 0.8 ver and 0.7.2 ver. Used
iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore
iPhone1,2_3.0.1_7A400_Restore
iPhone1,2_3.0_7A341_Restore
to try to see if i can get back but neither of those brings me back

Well, you want to use the 3rd on down that you listed, also does it have a .ipsw extension?
Hold down Shift and click restore, point to that firmware.
Restore to that firmware and then run redsn0w 0.8 to J/B making sure you choose to activate the phone.

When i do that i get error 1015

*edit* found a topic where it says that its a possetive error.

"Select the firmware 3.0.1 .ipsw file you downloaded in Step 2 and restore it. During the restore process, iTunes will throw you 1015 error which will say:

The iPhone “your iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred. (1015)

Just ignore this error and close iTunes.

Your phone will now be in recovery mode, showing iTunes logo and usb connector.

Step 5: Start QuickPwn 2.2-1 (download link given below) and perform the procedure prompted to you by QuickPwn to reset your device:"

So I'm assuming you did step 5 and it didn't work, then? Did it give you the same error the second time around?
