Hi, I just bought a 8GB iPhone 3G with no contract off eBay, and I can't do much since its not activated and it won't show up in my iTunes when I connect the USB cable, but I have a sim card from my T-Mobile phone and I am wondering what I can do right now? I can't tell what firmware version it is or anything because I can't get past the emergency sim card. I was planning to restore to 3.1.2 and then blackrain and blacksnow but the DFU or Recovery mode won't even work. any suggestions on what I should do?

and, what would happen if I put my T-Mobile sim card in while I'm in iTunes? Thanks.
