Almost the same as what i wrote. Tried that and it did not work for me.
Good you shared it with us. Took the liberty of making a link of the youtube url in the quote
after i do it on the computer &it says it will continue on the phone it comes up error &its giving up, those that mean i cant fix my phone?
i did all of that but now it says sim not valid
The unlock portion is the easiest part. I've been trying to crack this nut for days and this walkthrough was finally what did the trick.Sorry to hear that. This is not for unlock of the phone but for jailbreak.
Thank you ! You are the best ,What if I don't want to jailbreak it anymore. Your valuable suggestions will be appreciated
thanks

I guest tik tok is completed right https://discussions.apple.com/message/16364368#16364368 . Who was accidently upgrade ios 5 with BB 6.15 will get this problem especially 3GS. IOS 5 tend to update the BB so leaving the ipad BB corrupted. I am not sure about other device or non-jailbreak user.
Do as Tik Tok guide it will be solve...it will reflash the ipad BB using redsnow (assume you was using ipad BB, if not dont ever do that, wait new ios update)..i like to call this ipad BB doom. The best part is you cannot leave this ipad BB world
i did little bit different way but the same.. .downgrade and reinstall the ipad BB..then upgrade using custom ipsw 5.0 from snowbreeze...everything work. the point is you need to reflash the ipad BB because upgrading stock ipsw make it unstable.
Conclusion, safest way to upgrade ios with ipad BB is using custom ipsw because it preserve baseband.
I had the exact same problem as you. Took me about 12 hrs to solve this.
This is what i did.
1. Connected the phone to my mac and launched iTunes.
2. Removed the sim-card from the phone.
3. Put the phone in DFU mode to do a recovery with iTunes.
4. When itunes was done and the phone had booted I started redsn0w (Using version: 0.9.9b5).
5. Put the phone back in DFU-mode so i can jailbreak it.
6. When I got to the select options in redsn0w, I selected "Install Cyda", "Install ipad baseband" and "de-activate phone"
7. Waited for it to finish, and after it booted up I got the message "No sim card inserted". I then inserted my sim-card
8. Continued with the ios 5 setup on the phone and had no issue activating it nor did I get "no service"-message after setup was done.
This did the trick for me so I could activate my phone and use it agian. Hopefully this works for you too.
