iPhone 3GS stuck at "Connecting to iTunes"

[iphone3gsnhelp]

[h=1]I have restored it with iTunes (I had to use TinyUbrella in order to be able to restore it).
Phone got restored and iTunes tells me this when I connect the phone to the computer: http://i48.tinypic.com/2ugmhau.png

I'm able to change language and country, I can also make emergency calls, I'm stuck here: http://i45.tinypic.com/332m8lf.jpg

Does this mean that the phone's hardware is just fine and it's a software problem?

Thank you[/h]

I've tried to put a SIM-card in the phone, yes, but nothing happens when I do so, there are no difference.

try a fresh restore. redownload the ipsw 6.0 and restore though itunes then try to activate.

Is it a stock SIM that comes with the phone's original provider? Do what tortelliniguy said except try putting it into DFU mode first before performing a fresh restore. It should be a software problem. If it's a hardware problem, then you probably wouldn't get the error you're getting now.
