      If you restore it your still going to have to activate it in intunes with a sim card, or with one of the other methods mentioned.

            kingy are you having problems getting itunes to recognise your iphone. if not just connect to itunes and hit restore.

              Google iphone fw and use the felix.de website. Only difference would be if its 2g/3g or 3gs.

                    I think that you must give the guys just a bit of advise more about the phone... 'Cause you can either put it in DFU mode, hard reset, or through iTunes... What is the case with u?

                      Hold the power button and circle button till the phone resets itself, keep holding until you get the sign plug into itunes.

                      Plug into itunes and then press RESTORE.

                      That will turn it back to factory settings, however you will have been updated to the latest firmware.

                      ----------------------------------------------------------

                      If you have access to the phone, go to SETTINGS -> GENERAL -> RESET -> RESET ALL SETTINGS.

                      Here's and attachment of the screen so you can see what you want to reset.

                        2.Is it Jailbroken or locked to network.
                        3.The easiest way is to restore it Via itunes.MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE LATEST VERSION 9.2.1.5
                        4.Itunes should Identify what version OS software

                        iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
