  • How can i unlock the phone if it cant read the sim card. It cant connect to itunes; so its impossible for me to unlock it? It says imergency calls only. Im stuck and need HELP.

  • @insatiable12 You have to get it out of recovery mode. I think this video should help, then you can do this process. Type how to get your iphone/ipod out of recovery mode on youtube and the first three are the same in a way, which will help you. :)
