I have a i phone 4 cdma that was locked so I used hactivate to unlock it which worked well in the past and then went to itunes to update it. All went well until the phone turned on and i went through to set it up. It then went to a screen that said i needed to insert a sims card? There is no sims card holder on a cdma. I tried to restore it again but it remains the same. I looked at the files and compaired it to another 16 gig I phone 4 cdma and did not find any thing that was obvious. I tried to repair through red snow but it said it was missing some keys.plist and couldn't help. Anyone with any help out there?

The CDMA iPhone 4 doesn't have support for GSM and thus no SIM card tray even, so there's really no "unlocking" as it won't work on non-CDMA networks, and out of those it will only work on the one that it's assigned to (like Verizon or Sprint or something like that).
