Help! Restore incident! AHH

I was restoring my iphone 3g because the screen wouldnt turn on. Now I am in the middle of restore and it says I need a valid sim card, but i have tmobile and i used it unlocked and jailbroken. It wont connect or anything without a valid sim card, what do i do?

unfortunately when you restored it also upgraded to last version of IOS which currently uses a baseband that is (as of right now) unlock able.

to get basic function back use limera1n to hactivate, but to get phone and messanging (as well as 3g/edge) usage back you're going to have to put out for an AT&T sim till someone figures out how to unlock this baseband

can i borrow someones SIM card and continue the restore then downgrade my iphone?

 

[Slyfi]

i suppose it technically possible just make sure its the proper card size and it should work

I thought you couldn't downgrade the baseband, though?

This would be better suited for the Jailbreak Forum and a question Farbod could tackle!

No you cannot downgrade baseband. Supposedly newest unlock will be released after 4.2 is released to the masses, but even then it might be a little while before it's ready.
