    HELP: after jailbreakme.com unlock, iphone bricks after connect to iTunes

    INVALID SIM error
    HELP!

    Not sure if this is already discussed.
    I have a activated ATT phone but I am currently traveling overseas.
    Wth the ATT SIM in the phone I ran the jailbreakme.com method on my 1.1.1. The phone was jailbroken, the installer app installed fine, and I ran anySIM v1.1 and the phone was unlocked successfully. I put in the new SIM and I was able to make and receive calls.

    Now come the start of trouble.

    Later that night, I plugged in the iphone (with the new SIM) to iTunes to sync up new songs (plus whatever else itunes syncs up) and while plugged in I did a hard restart of the iphone. Upon restart, now the phone says INVALID SIM.
    I tried to put the ATT SIM back and restart. I tried to run anySIM again but now anySIM says it can't unlock the phone. It seems everything is going wrong with the phone now, even wifi is acting strange.

    what do I do???
    Should I run restore on itunes with the ATT SIM?
    Should I run virginize script?

    Please help!

    Thanks!!!

    Use oneSIM to reverse the unlocking process, then re-run anySIM to re-unlock.

    I ended up doing a restore on iTunes and at least it's now back to "normal" pre-jailbreak. In order to run jailbreakme.com again I think I need to downgrade the firmware to 1.1.1 correct?

    You are correct, since restoring actually loads the latest firmware available.
    So downgrade to 1.1.1 and use jailbreakme.com to by-pass activation and then install Oktaprep in tweaks 1.1.1 on Installer, upgrade to 1.1.2 and use the 1.1.2 jailbreak software here

    In the end, you will have an iPhone in 1.1.2 working with AT&T

    then why did you not mention anything about that in your first post??

    All you mention was AT&T, AT&T......... AT&T haha

    follow this Guide in order to get your iPhone unlocked:

    you can just find which Milestone you're in.
