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?

    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!

    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.

    Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
    Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
    No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
    Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

  • HT201263 Since my iPhone 4S was stuck on the connect to iTunes screen after updating to iOS 7, I followed these instructions and restored.  But nothing changed!  I still have the same picture of a plug with arrow to iTunes.

    It is restored now.  Thanks for the comment about disabling firewalls - we did that and tried again and it worked.

  • If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

    If i used an iphone firmware to restore my ipod touch what would happen?

    Well I know I said I only have a second generation iPod Touch, so maybe I'm out of Touch (no pun intended) but I fail to understand how you have installed a SIM card into an iPod Touch.
    If your iPod Touch can have a SIM card installed into it, I would think that makes it a phone.
    iPhone perhaps?
    Sigh!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Iphone 5 stuck in emergency call only mode, phone is disabled also how do i get it out of that mode?

  • "iphone is deactivated". Only emergency call alowed only. What do I do?

    "iphone is deactivated" it is written on the screen. Only emergency call alowed. What do I do?

    It said it would take 2 hours, and my iPhone had a 'connected to itunes' screen. I tried twice but about an 1/8 of the way into restoring it, my iphone made a noise and went back to the disabled screen. Then i thought i'd try it one last time, and on this 3rd time, i ignored it when it went back to the disabled screen from the connected to itunes screen. And it keep saying in itunes that it was still doing an restore update. Only when the 2 hours was over. Nothing happened or came up.
