i found a wifi connection and tried to actiavte it :


Could Not Activate iPHone

Your iPhone could not be activated
because the activation server is
temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your iphone to
iTunes to activate it , or try again in a couple of minutes ( I tried but same ****)

If this problem persists , contact Apple
Support at apple.com/support

Here is a screen shoot of my iphone on iTunes.

And i have another question .
I am having the option to Install ipad baseband . Should i install it ???

----------

WiFi not required, their should be a Skip button (somewhere along the bottom),

and what should i do now :(

Do i have to activate it anyway ?
or just suck here at seting up my phone ?

There are 2 options you can do;

1. find original sim, pop it in, look for wifi connection and activate it directly from the phone. Original sim does not need to be active. Inactive sim is okay.

2. Since you have 3GS, you can downgrade it to 4.1. For some reason, Apple still sign this firmware and you can downgrade to it. Once you done, hactivate it redsn0w.

Of course, if you have shsh blobs save for any old firmwares, you can always downgrade your phone to one of that earlier version.

the first option is not possible !

I have saved SHSH blobs ( 4.3.3 , 4.2.1 , 4.1 )
I won`t downgrade it , i will find any way to open it

----------

again, you will need an original sim card in the phone, and wifi connection in order for you to activate it directly from the phone.

Base on your info. I believe someone has jailbreak the phone. So, you will have to boot it tethered with redsn0w so it can go to the set up menu.

You can also put it in DFU mode and restore it with Itunes and it will take you to the set up screen.
