Hi evrybody, this is my first post here and sorry for my bad english.
I bought an iphone on craigslist, and it have got a broken power botton (2g, 3.1).
When i got the iphone was without simcard i could use it as an ipod.
After trying to unlock i had to restore the firmware (i restored to 3.1), and now when i turn on the iphone he ask me for activation and he only let me do emergency calls!
I don't have any AT&T sim cards and i don't wanna subscribe for a AT&T plan, and i can't jailbreak it becouse itunes doesn't recognize the phone and no jailbreaking software works!!!

Here is the question, how do i avoid the activation process?

put the phone in DFU and shift+restore and install 3.01 then Jailbreak with Redsn0w 8.0

How can i put the phone in dfu?

My power botton is broken....and i think rednsnow won't work 'couse i'm running on 3.1!
