Sbinger has developed Subscriber Artificial Module (SAM) for jailbroken iPhone which allows you to do official activation on an iPhone without a stock SIM. You need to Hacktivate your device otherwise you will stick on the emergency screen. SAM works for PwnageTool/redsn0w hacktivated iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G to re-activate officially fixing EDGE/3G over consumption issue leading to hotness and battery drain. Just follow the steps below:
