It mostly happened to iPhone users that recently or accidentally updated their iPhone software via iTunes, then your iPhone display slide for emergency screen and connect to iTunes logo after software update is done.
This issue came along with the previous one, which is “The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.” message appear on iTunes.
Why my iPhone only show slide for emergency screen?
Your iPhone is asking for activation, and you need to connect the iPhone to computer and activate it using iTunes. But, when iTunes detect unsupported SIM card on iPhone, it will display this message: The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.
I hope the explanation is easily understood.
So, how to resolve this problem ?

Hi, I have the same screen.
First what I did is I erased iphone, this is to completely restore to factory setthings (which I did for my friend, and it worked) Then came out that it needed a sim card. my iphone was from AT&T (bought the fone in black market) and I do not have that sim card for it. the installation process would require me to have the legit sim card for this to continue.
Any Solution for this one?
I could not even perform a jailbreak..
The solution for your problem is jailbreak.
Why couldn’t you jailbreak your iPhone?
I did all, but failed. Soon after I got this problem, I downloaded new itune with hope to work with my iphone, but still not. Now my itunes does not even recognize my iphone. I can’t even make nor receive call
I updates the nwest update on my jailbroken iphone 3gs and the thing with the sim card not supported and emergency call happened. I tried rejailbreaking again but the reboot takes forveer. PLEASE HELP!!!
Hey guys, I have a legit AT&T iPhone with the service and everything, i was thinking about jailbreaking it but it wasnt working so i figured i’d just restore it to 3.1.3 fresh so i did and now it’s stuck on this screen. I have an AT&T sim card in it too, when connected to my comp it shows up as iPhone and when i select it the main screen is just white with the word iPhone in the middle. Any ideas??
