Hi All,

I tried the 'Restore' option on redsn0w and it failed.
Now that I managed to restore back my old iOS version 5.0.1, upon boot up.
It says that my iPhone need to be activated with some russian email appleId:
t*****@mail.ru

Can anyone please help?
I don't know what to do now :(. I have never seen the russian appleid before.
 
It would help to provide which device and what was the condition/what was done to it prior to the issue in a more extensive description.
 
Thanks willerz2,

After reading thru the redsn0w's Restore feature, i thought of giving it a try.
I tried it on my iPhone 4 (5.0.1),
I followed the instruction and select the 5.0.1 IPSW, but somehow it failed, and my phone stuck in Recovery Mode.
I managed to restore back to my old 5.0.1, but now my phone is stuck at 'Activating iPhone' with some Russian appleid that I never see before. it starts with:
t*****@mail.ru.

I tried jailbreaking it, but it became hacktivation, which means I can't use my phone now :(.

Please help..

Thank you in advance.
 
Thanks willerz2,

Can you please advise on what is the Restore that you are mentioning?
like should I flash in my ios 5.0.1 again?

Is it possible that due to iTunes problem?
While trying out the 'Restore' function, i actually downloaded the older iTunes from some site that host the old iTunes app.
