3.1.3 update for iphone gone wrong.

A few days ago I updated my iphone with the new update. I'm now regretting I ever did. It was working perfectly before.
After the update, everything seemed normal until the next day when I went to send an SMS and found I couldn't. I saw that instead of showing my network signal, the words "locked sim" appeared, which wasn't really a surprise as my SIM is locked to T-Mobile. I then tried to make a call and found that I couldn't call either. When I got to work I did find that I could access internet using the Wireless, but could not make calls or do anything involving my Network.
I have since then; restored, backed up, rebooted, many times. I also backed up all the applications I had onto iTunes so I could retrieve them later.
I have found that if I restore I am able to get a network. So I can make calls, send SMS. However, if I turn the phone off and on again, the signal is lost again and the words "Locked Sim" appears.
Also, after a successful restore, I have reloaded all the applications back on and the same thing happens, "Locked sim".
I know this is an iphone problem as I've tried my sim in another handset and it worked perfectly.
I'd appreciate any help fixing this. I did wonder whether setting up the phone on iTunes as a new phone would help, but also whether that would mean I couldn't put my applications back on the phone.

I've done this, many times.
I've now turned off the sim pin and tried restoring again. the restore went well, so I've loaded the apps on again. To my surprise that's also gone well, so I loaded my music back on.
I have full signal, wifi is working, my apps are back on. Only thing I haven't tried yet is turning the iphone off and on again. I won't try it just now as I'm happy to have it all just working. The only change I've made is turning the sim pin off. I don't know if that has been the resolving factor here.
Thanks for all the help folks. Hopefully I won't need to come here again.
Best wishes

    I just downloaded the latest update for iphone 4S and connected to icloud for the first time.  I now do not have any contacts on my phone... How do I get my contacts back??

    I have had a similar problem, except all of my text messages are gone too! My contacts have slowly started to come back, but it appears that my most recently added contacts are gone, and my messages are also gone still.

  • HT3939 is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332?

    is there an update for iPhone 4 A1332? It seems lately every ap I try to load requires a different system.

    The iPhone 4 can be upgraded to iOS 7.0.4.
    If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • When is the next release/update for iPhone iOS.5 ? (concerning SIRI)?

    Hi,
    Given that Siri is in beta, when does Apple plan to update us with a proper version with the bugs ironed out?
    Are they going to remove the annoying design of Siri that requires an internet connection to ask it the local system time?
    If anyone has any news on this, please let me know.
    Thanks,
    H

    when is the next update for iphone carrier setting?I cant change my carrier to 2g!!!There is only 3g or LTE available for me.

    Carrier Settings are dependent entirely on your carrier.  2G is old outdated and slow etc, most carriers are phasing out their 2G service. You would need to ask your carrier when they plan on releasing a new update.
    Why on earth do you want to set your iPhone to 2G?  It will automatically switch to 2G if 3G is not available, and 2G is found.

  • Phone call function for Ipad mini & iOS update for Iphone 4

    Hi,
    Why isn't apple doing phone call on the Ipad Mini. I understand being exclusive but i've been an apple user for over 2 years now and i like using apple products. I've notice samsung has incorporated these features in their Galaxy Tab 2. By doing so, Apple is loosing it's edge against its competitor. Hope that these funtion will be incorporated in the next iOS update.
    On another note, why isn't siri included in the iOS 6.0.1 update for iphone 4. I'm not sure why android based phone could enjoy each of the new features that they release and apple can't do the same. I can understand from a business point of view but it will also affect customer's satisfaction. Appreciate if the team could consider giving the same treatment to all the apple products in terms of it's software updates and new features. 
    I'm not sure if the team is aware that apple products cost a BOMB in Malaysia. For an Iphone5 16GB, it's retail price is at RM 2,199.00 ( not inclusive of call & data plan ). Taking the cheapest call + data package from a telco provider could be as much as RM100/month ( RM1,200.00 per year ). The rational of changing an iphone is not appealing because of the huge cost. 
    As such, apprecaite that apple could at least extend all new features in it's iOS releases to all apple products.
    Thanks,

    Hi Andrey,
    I think I have figured it out. It has to do with my iCloud account. After a lot of reasearch I found a bunch of people with the same problem, and the fix for now is to COMPLETELY DELETE your iCloud account. Simply turning everything off does not work. I immediately did this on my wife and my phones and everything went back to normal.
    It appears to be a bug, because mine was only supposed to be updating my "notes" which shouldnt take 30 megs a day. Hope they fix it soon.

  • I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I keep getting network connections error when downloading update for iPhone 4. Any suggestions?

    I think I solved the problem by initiating the update in a different way, from the itunes panel where I can click to start the update, instead of saying yes when asked if I want to update when itunes launches in response to the iphone being plugged into the computer.

  • When will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    when will the ios 7 update for iphone 3GS come???

    As you know, iOS 7 applies to the iPhone 4 and above.
    I advise you not to ever expect iOS 7 for the iPhone 3GS.  Historically, Apple has never released a version of iOS that did not include some older hardware, and later come back to include that hardware.

  • Can the iOS 5.0.1 update for iphone work on my ipod touch?

    Is was woundering if you could use the same iOS 5.0.1 update for iPhone on your iPod??

    No, it will not. It must be the version specifically for the iPod Touch.  On top of that you must have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch in order to even install iOS 5 onto it.

  • Why no 6.1.1 update for iPhone 5 ?

    So 6.1.1 is out for the iPhone 4S. Good I hope it works and sort out the issues those people are having. Now what about us iphone 5 users? Are we supposed to just swing for it? I sincerely hope Apple is working on a seperate update for this as I sure would like to use my mobile Internet again, that'd be swell. Public statements once in a while wouldn't hurt apple

    i have the same problem with cellular call... so where are waiting for the new update for iphone 5 to solve these problems.

  • I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back?

    I do NOT like the new update for iphone (7.1). Is there a way to go back? Every time I see a change, I think the old version is better. Especially the phone and caps. Is it possible?

    Sorry... Apple does not support the Downgrading of iOS.

  • ANY UPDATES FOR IPHONE 4S to fix WIFI ISSUE

    ANY UPDATES TO FIX THE WIFI (UNABLE TO JOIN NETWORK) FOR IPHONE 4S? THERES A NEW OS FOR IPHONE5, WHY NOT BOTHER TO FIX THIS ISSUE FIRST???

    Ever since I upgraded my iphone4 to ios6 I can't get stable connection with home wifi. I am sitting less than 5 feets from the router. My iphone either cannot find the hotspot or getting very weak signal. And it's so weak it will break every two minutes. My ipad is running ios5 and it connects instantly. My ipad can find dozens of hotspots; my iphone can't even find my home wifi.
    Yes, I have tried every solution on the web, changing my router setting, reset network setting, recover to orginal settings.... NONE OF THEM WORKED. It is obvious a software problem. IOS6 does not support my router as it did in IOS5.
    Seriously, if Apple does not fix this problem, I'm gonna switch the system.
