i buyed iphone 4s ....i updated it to ios 5.0.1 now it starts from start screen and says insert valid sim with no pin code....what does this mean i inserted many sim cards but not working ....m stuck at activation screen n cant do anything...my baseband is 1.0.13 and having model 9A405
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.0.1, insert valid sim with no pin code..
In what country did you buy it?
Did you buy it second hand?
Did you buy it from Apple or a network provider?
Etcetera, you have togive some more information.
My first guess is that it is locked to a provider or jailbroken.

it is from india.....and it was jailbroken by that user....and i dont wanted to use jailbroken iphone as i hav buyed all apps from istore...so what should i do now??plz help me out
There's really not much you can do, unfortunately. This is exactly what happens when you purchase a phone on the "grey" market and not from an authorized reseller.
The phone is useless to you. You'll never get it to work.
It is what I thought already. The problem is, that when you buy a second hand iPhone, you never know what someone did to it. A jailbroken iPhone you should never try to update, because then it won't work anymore. You can use it, but NEVER try to update. This was a painful lesson, I feel for you. In this forum you will not find any halp on this problem. You may try in some other forum perhaps. 😟
