Installed 2.0.2. Phone is now emergency calls only

I installed 2.0.2. Now my iPhone is an emergency only brick. I get the message below from iTunes. I did a hard reset and a soft reset. My iPhone is an original 8GB unit.
iTunes message:
The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be used with iTunes
because the information required for activation
could not be obtained from the iPhone.
Check that the SIM card is inserted in your iPhone and that it is
not PIN-locked.

I had the same prob, like you did the obvious, didn't work! Tried to make an emergency call and it said i needed to disable flight mode and offered me the option to disable, which i did then all was well
Just in case anyone else hits the same bug.

  • Restored, now emergency calls only

    So, I was having software issues with my phone. I figured the best bet would be to restore the phone. Since I wasn't sure what the issue was I decided to restore as a new phone and reload everything manually. After restoring, now I can only make emergency calls. I thought that I might have to re-register my phone since it was seeing it as a new phone, but it's not giving me the option to register it. Any help would be appreciated.

    I am haveing the same problem, I did a reset all setting under setting on the Iphone then when it rebooted it was on the emergency calls only screen. I then tried to restore the phone and after it goes through the process it reboots back to th emergence calls only screen?
    Someone plz help us

    I also had this problem recently and did search on Google and found this very nice guide to handle a no service or emergency calls only issue. Hope this will help you too or other people who will have the same problem. Here is the link for that.

  • Emergency Calls Only Problem

    My old brick phone battery died yesterday so I've bought a newer brick. I have an Orange PAYG SIM card which I've been using for more than ten years, but when I put it in the new phone it says Emergency Calls Only. The sim, however, has transferred all my contact info. I've tried to update the network details manually, but it says the network isn't registered. The new phone is a Samsung GT-E1200I. Help.

    Have you made sure your new phone is not locked to another network?

  • TS4006 Did a factory reset now phone wont restore, itunes doesnt recognise phone all i get is emergency calls only

    I did a factory reset now i am unable to restore, itunes shows a usb connector but is frozen, phone shows emergency calls only, can ANYONE point me in the right direction

    Try rebooting the phone - hold both buttons (top and home) until the apple appears.

  • Tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen?

    tried to restore iphone 4 back to factory settings now on emergency call only screen? it also says hook phone up with itunes. well i have an old mac and my itunes isnt up to date and cant be installed up to date because of the old software. what do i do?

    You'll need to update your system or fine a system you can use to activate it. There's no way around it.
    If you can get to an Apple store and explain the situation to them, they 'may' be able to hook you up with an OS upgrade to Leopard assuming you have a G4 or G5 mac that can handle it.

  • No signal for over an hour now. Emergency calls only!

    Welcome to the Apple Community John.
    Enter the pass code you set up when locking the phone or the screen lock code already in use on the phone if you weren't required to set one up when you locked it.

  • Phone says it needs to be restored and to connect to iTunes to restore. Emergency calls only. But nothing happens when i connect it to iTunes. What's going on?

    Why can't I restore my iphone 4. it says to connect to itunes to restore and emergency calls only. But it doesn't restore.

    Reboot your computer
    Connect the USB end of the cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
    Disable your firewall and antivirus
    Launch iTunes
    Disconnect the phone from the other end of the cable
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen goes black, then release the SLEEP button but contiune holding the HOME button
    Connect the cable to the phone while still holding HOME
    Wait for iTunes to recognize a phone in "recovery mode", then release HOME and your phone should restore.

  • I phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode

    i phone home screen says disabled and emergency calls only as i have forgot passcode
    cannot reset through itunes
    just keeps saying that it cannot be restored as there is a lock on it

    Restore the device.
    If "Find My iPhone" is activated on the device, wipe the device via iCloud.com and then restore it.

    first of all the iphone 4 is not a 4G phone
    second it sounds like your iphone could be locked to another operator then the sim you have inserted

  • HT201413 phone is stuck in emergency call only mode how do i fix this

    my phone is stuck in emergency call only mode

    Hi, bit75.  
    Thank you visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like your device may be disabled and can only make emergency calls.  Here is the article that I would recommend going through if this is the case.  
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled
