Incorrect SIM
- Thread starter GLiMKIV
- Start date
It's an iTunes registered phone. My screen now says Activate Phone with the world as the background, just like when you first power it up. However, it still says incorrect sim, insert a unlocked and valid sim to activate phone.
If I can't get this resolved by tomorrow, I will have to go to the Apple store to have this all looked at.

Can't you take the passcode off the phone?
If you can't because the phone isn't activated - then i'd try using the first steps of the jailbreak process:
1) Slide the emergency lock.
2) Dial *#307#
3) Press the back button to clear the number you just dialed, then press 0. Press
Dial again.
4) Press accept call, then press hold, then press deny.
5) You're now in the contact list! Horray lol, keep going.
6) Create a new contact with;
i) The first url: prefs://11
Save the contact then touch that url - that'll take you to the settings menu where you can get to the passcode lock.
Remove the lock and then reboot the phone.
I can't imagine I'm correct for one minute - or this would mean Apple has made one almighty blunderoony.

I don't think this is an AT&T issue because my phone was working just fine until I tried the 1.1.2 update. Before the phone wouldn't even show activate phone at the top. I finally got to restore the phone like 3 times. Nothing worked. The SIM card never got recognized. With and without being connected to iTunes. I could call AT&T at lunch, but I don't know.
That's what I think too. The only problem is, is it's black Friday, the malls are going to be packed. The Apple store is in the mall! This sucks major A**! I'm just hoping that if it can't be fixed, they will just give me a new phone. And I hope that it can all be done today. Being without a phone really stinks!
Well, I have bad news! I went to the Apple store and everything was good with the phone. All my info matched so I thought that I would be getting a new phone. Well, they did there diagnostic check and they saw that the phone was unlocked. Now, I have only had my phone for two months, I don't recall ever unlocking it. I must have downloaded something accidentally to unlock it. I never wanted to switch from AT&T. So the guy pretty much said to call up Apple and talk to them. So I am keeping my fingers crossed. If not, looks like I'll be buying a new one.
I wonder, if they wont give me a new one, and I buy a new one, could I sell this phone that I have? I have tried my old SIM card and did not work, so temporarily I am using an older Cingular phone.
Thanks.

I just did the same thing! I have a pin lock on my sim card where everytime the phone gets turned on, you have to enter a pin to unlock the sim so the phone will work. Well i did a restore and when i tried connecting back to iTunes to reactivate my iPhone, it can't seem to read the sim card since i have the pin lock on it. THe problem is, i can't unlock the pin without activating the phone first. This is a mistake on Apples part

have u tried to do a restore/virginize? What version do u have? Try to download lower versions like 1.1.1 and shift restore. I have tried this many times and it has not worked for me. I had the same error come up. Unfortuneately I went out and bought a new phone. I will still try fixing mine and sell it, or just sell it the way it is and let someone who knows how to fix it deal with it. Good luck to u.
