Re: For the novice hi mudcrabs, i'd say it depends on the reason for the brick-ing. but unlike in the "early" iPhone days, a lot of bricking is reversible.

Re: For the novice like in your case if you update your phone to a new firmware without virginizing it, it will cause your phone to boot in restore mode and not in the activate screen or have invalid iemi.

Re: For the novice It actually depends on how the phone was unlocked/hacked. Ive had the same problem before where I cannot receive text messages but I can send out messages. You might want to try revirginizing your iPhone and unlock it again. It may be tedious but it might solve your issue. Originally Posted by MUDCRABS Just to add.
