[QUOTE="FQS, post: 825361, member: 94335"] I bought an unlocked, jailbroken 2G iPhone and connected it to my MacMini computer to sync the calendar. While it was doing this I was asked to update software. I said O.K. and 25 min later the screen asked me to insert the SIM card. I transferred the SIM card from my old phone to the iphone. When I reconnected the iphone to my MiniMac I received the message: The SIM card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported. Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iphone... The phone is now 'locked' in a state where the screen shows the picture of the usb cable and the iTunes logo, and only allowing for emergency calls. I tried the sleep/wake reset and holding down the home button for 6 sec. But it stays locked. What happened? Does anybody know what I can do to unlock/unfreeze the iphone? Is there a way to at least get to the ipod functions? I appreciate your help. FQS [/QUOTE]
