Put the device into dfu mode then connect it to iTunes where you can restore the firmware. It will always look for a 3 SIM card unless you ask 3 to unlock the device.

You need to connect with iTunes and make sure the cable you use will not have the disconnect issue. I used to transfer data by using plastic cable and it disconnect while transferring and everything sucks. So I changed to a metal piarmor cable and use it to do everything again. Everything goes perfect. The connection tool is important.

let it deload until it is emptz, then load and restart.
