Even when fully bricked(and it sounds like yours is) you should still be able to connect it to your PC, and in iTunes, go to the iPhone screen and hit restore. It will take your phone back to normal and into a locked status, but at least you can use iPhone SimFree to get it unlocked again from there.

Winkthankyou
but only want to go there as last resort
with itunes logo on iphone ran ibricker reboot [says phone not bricked] but
screen still locked

As mean as this sounds, I don't think you have any other option.

This is a full OS on the phone and you effectively need to reimage it. At the present time this image is not available. Sad
