hi, my iphone is bricked. The imei number is 004999010640000 ive verginised my phone and the modem firmware is now 03.14.08_G. All i want to do is get my phone working, im on firmware version 1.0.2 and also if i turn my phone on without a simcard i still get the dreaded 004999010640000 number. Can someone please help me and tell me what to do. I heard iphone sim free could help so i paid and it still didn't help because the imei number is still different even when there is no sim card in the phone

If you have the IMEI of 0049, it means you didn't virginize anything. Unfortunately I can't link you directly to the tool, so you can just go to google code and in the search enter "iphone". The first hit is the one.

Good luck.

the word bricked is banded around too much, the phone is not bricked, the only phones that was bricked was the phones taken apart when people messed with the insides there are plenty of posts telling you how to recover from the 0049 error,so jump to my friend, and never utter the word brick again, its very distastful
