Lockdownd is always running on the iPhone and is in charge of monitoring the activation status of the device. When the iPhone is first purchased it is unactivated and only the "Emergency Call Screen" is available. Lockdownd patches (which require a jailbreak) activate your phone and obviate the need to activate legitimately through iTunes with an official carrier.
