Iphone 3G stuck in Emergency Call Screen

I have an imac, ipad2, two iphone3GS, and recently my sis came down to india from NZ with an iPhone3G, which is not working.
I put in the SIM card. After putting it on, it takes me to the Apple logo with the iTunes connector image. Also iTunes does not detect this iPhone3G, whilst it detects all my other apple devices.
Have tried it even on Windows based iTunes, no luck.
Can you help us find a solution to this problem?
Sam

This was solved!  What we had to do is go to the admin consule of the exchange server and delete the mobile device from the user account. Once that was done, we re-added the exchange account to the iPhone 3G and it took the password. Case closed.

  • My iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

    my iphone is stuck in emergency call mode and itunes does not recognize my phone

    NVM... broke down and called Apple Care.  Pressed on/off button and held it for a few minutes before pressing home button.  In recovery mode, but at least it is doing something now!

  • IPhone stuck at emergency call screen!

    Hi everyone!
    My iPhone stuck at the 'emergency call' screen. I restored it and at the end I had to 'activate' the phone... But when I try to activate it (connect to iTunes) iTunes
    gives me a message: ...The Network connection is timed out... Please try again later. But I can open the iTunes Store and download apps and music, and the Network is in order... Anyone knows what to do? Or how to 'activate' the iPhone without iTunes?
    Please Help!

    You can't activate your phone without itunes. The most common reasons for the network timed out error during a restore or software upgrade are firewalls, anti-virus & anti-malware. So, turn off or disable all of that stuff, especially windows firewall & try again.

  • GS111 stuck in "emergency call" screen"

    I did not initiate a call and cannot do anything

    Here's a suggestion that I made in:
    https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/784711
    It could be two causes.
    1.  It's the "real" emergency call screen that is stuck and you may need for Verizon to reactivate your phone and possibly a new SIM.
    2. It's just a lock screen that says "Emergency Call" at at the bottom. It's waiting for you to unlock it with a PIN/Unlock code.
    The OP never replied back so I don't know if either worked.

  • IPhone 3G stuck on emergency calls only screen. HELP!

    Hi everyone, I really need some help.
    I bought my jailbroken iPhone 3G from Hong Kong on eBay a few months back. Everything was working fine on iOS 4.2.1, except the battery life was very poor. After getting the battery replaced there was no improvement. So my boyfriend suggested I try restoring the phone with iTunes as it was supposed to improve the battery life.
    I plugged my phone in and went through the restore process, only to receive "iTunes Error 1015". After this my iPhone went into recovery mode and stayed put. I tried using a YouTube tutorial and TinyUmbrella to help me out of the error, but it only made my phone go to the "Emergency calls only" screen and now the phone will not appear in iTunes as it says the SIM card that has worked perfectly with iTunes every other time is not supported. I am at a total loss as for what I am meant to do. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Please help.

    I found your problem.
    All sorts of things can go wrong with jailbroken phones, it's never a good idea to do so. Not to mention, it means you won't be getting much help on here.

  • My iphone 2g was stuck in emergency call. What would I do?

    I have my iphone 2g and i forgot the psscode so i connect it to itunes and then restore it. After restoring it, it was stuck in emergency call screen and it said to connect on itunes. When I connect it to itunes there is a message saying that the sim card is not valid. It was confusing beacause the sim card I inserted is the simcard I'm using. What I gonna Do?

    Is the iPhone locked to a carrier?
    Are you using the correct sim card for that carrier?
    Is the iPhone unlocked, if it is then do you get it unlocked by the carrier it was locked to?
    Was the iPhone Jailbroken?
    Any visible damage to the sim or sim card tray?

  • Iphone 3gs stuck at emergency screen after 4.01 update

    1st of all i would like to say sorry if this has been posted before.. i did a search and it turns out to be a gazillion hits... no time to search all of them.
    i bought the iphone from malaysia last week.. and the ppl activate it while it was still on 3.1.3 firmware..now im back in my country ( Brunei Darussalam) and ive update it to 4.01.. and now im stuck at the emergency call screen.. it wont activate with itunes as it stated the sim is not supported...
    if anyone knows how to overcome this please do tell... thanks..
    p/s never been jailbreak before...

    The device was jailbroken when you purchased it most likely.
    When you did the upgrade, it relocked to the original carrier.
    The solution now is:
    1)Sell it and buy an iPhone intended for your country.
    2)Jailbreak it.
    3)Contact the carrier it was originally intended for and see if they offer unlocking.

  • How do I get past the Emergency call screen iphone 5 ios 6

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to ios 6.1 and now I can't get past the Emergency call screen.
    I try to hook it into my computer with iTunes but it says I need to unlock the phone with my password but I can't find anywhere to do that.
    I tried the reset but that didn't help.

    There should be a Black Button with a White Arrow pointing left at the Bottom of the screen.

  • 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

  • Tried to sync to new itunes and now my phone is stuck in emergency call mod

    Okay, Ive tried for hours and need help! I tried to update my 3G to the new itunes. Since then doing so, im getting an error message that reads "We cannot complete your iTunes store request. The network connection times out." I trouble shooted and followed all the prompts it said to fix the issue, have unplugged and restarted, and now the only thing the stupid phone does is give me the "emergency call" screen! I set it to factory settings before downloading the new software.. Haven't seen another screen for hours! I'm getting frustrated.. Any thoughts? Someone? Please!!!

    You should try to put the phone into Recovery Mode so that iTunes can restore it.
    1. First, make sure that your computer has an active internet connection (you can open the iTunes Music Store and make sure you can navigate around as a way to check your internet connection).
    2. Turn the phone off (hold the top button until the slider appears, then drag the slider).
    3. Hold down the Home (round) button while you connect the USB cable to the iPhone. The USB cable should be connected directly to a good USB port on your computer, not on a USB hub, monitor, or keyboard.
    4. Continue to hold the Home button down until the Recovery Mode screen appears (it looks like this: http://tinyurl.com/mhsje5 )
    5. When you see that screen, release the Home button.
    iTunes should tell you that it has detected an iPhone in Recovery Mode and that you must restore it.
    iTunes will probably give you the option to set it up as a new phone or restore it from a backup. Choose setting it up as a new phone.

  • ,Emergency call screen can call any number?

    Is the Emergency call screen in your Iphone supposed to be only to call 911??? because on my phone, when I use the emergency call screen, it can call any number I want.
    Does it happen to you too???
    Message was edited by: PATRICIO_NY

    from there my question was, is it supposed to be only to call 911,
    I know exactly what you meant and what your question is, and the answer is no.
    You can call any number from the emergency call selection.
    And as I already provided, I want it this way. If I was in dire straights and I was able to place a call and I can only dial 911 and there is no answer at that particular time or lines are busy (which can occur), I want the ability to dial any number, not just 911, and the same for anyone that is with me if I'm unable to place a call and my iPhone is the only cell phone available.
    If my iPhone was lost or stolen, I would call AT&T first to have my iPhone's SIM card disabled. Someone that finds or steals my iPhone makes a few calls in the interim before my iPhone's SIM card is disabled by AT&T, so what? I have a calling plan and a rollover minutes credit.
