Factory Unlocked 1020 - 8.1 Update
I recently purchased a factory unlocked Nokia 1020 from the Microsoft Store in the US. I'm using AT&T Go Phone as my provider.
I'm excited to get the 8.1 update but it hasn't come yet. The MS Store and AT&T couldn't tell me when the update would come to factory unlocked phones and when I check the Nokia update page I don't see any information on unlocked phones.
How can I find out when 8.1. will be available for my device? Thank you.
I'm in the U.S., and AT&T has sent the update for locked Nokia 1020 phones but not for unlocked Nokia 1020 phones bought from the microsoft store. Why is that? Testing can't be the reason, as the phones are exactly the same.
I really want some of the functionality in Windows 8.1 and also want to see if it corrects a problem where my bluetooth heart rate monitor doesn't work with the phone (but works with my old Android phone).

If I update my factory unlocked iphone 4 to iOS 7, will it have to be unlocked again?
Hi, I have an iphone 4 factory unlocked running iOS 6.1.3, if I update it to iOS 7, will I have to pay to get it unlocked again or will it still be unlocked for use afterwards?

okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked. An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them. No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked. -
Factory unlocked iPhone 3G, iOS 4 support tethering?
Some of us knows that during the 3.1.2 all iPhone Factory unlocked phone had their tethering disabled. and only when 3.1.3 came out, we got back our tethering option for Factory unlocked iPhones.
will tethering be available for iPhone Factory unlocked after iOS 4 update?
Thank you in advanceAllan
Your advice is about all I can think of doing. I have a friend in Milan that the phone can be sent back to. I have a funny feeling that when I get the phone back I'll have the same issues.....
I can get a antenna replaced here in the UK for about GBP60....but that would invalidate the warranty.
What is a lingering doubt over it being a hardware issue is why would it work perfectly with one contry's SIM and not anothers ?

I had already update mi new factory unlocked iPhone 4S to iOS 5.1.1 and I still having problems with "invalid sim". I'm from Argentina and here we don't have official service. PLEASE HELP ME, WHAT CAN I DO??? In Argentina is too expensive an iPhone 4S. Please I need help to continue believing in Apple. Thanks a lot. If anybody speak spanish better.
Was it purchased from an official Apple Store, not a reseller? Only Apple Stores sell official factory unlocked phones. The others sell hacked to unlock phones, and the unlocking is unstable.
Try these steps, as needed:
1. Reset phone - press both home and on/off buttons for at least 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
3. Replace SIM card (and reset network settings again)
4. Restore Phone in iTunes using a backup
5. Restore in iTunes as new, without using a backup -
Can not update 5.1.1 to 6.0 on factory unlocked iPhone 4S - An unknown error occurred (-1) (21)
HI all,
for the first time, one of my Apple products is making me mad.
1.) I have an factory unlocked iPhone 4S running 5.1.1
2.) When I try to update, it (MacBook Pro running 10.8.1) extracts the software and then after a few seconds it shows me (An unknown error occurred (-1))
3.) When I put the phone in DFU Mode and try to update it shows me (An unkown error occurred (21)) - The iPhone freezes at the Apple Logo
I have downloaded the IPSW again (Yes I am sure I have the one for iPhone 4S), have downloaded and installed iTunes 10.7. Further I have installed iTunes fresh on a another Laptop (iTunes 10.7 on Windows 7) - Same behavior there.
The funny thing is, when I restore the iPhone to 5.1.1 it restores it without any problem. I have also tried to first make a restore on 5.1.1 and directly on 6.0. Same problem.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Cheers
PeterYou might try using RedsNow to put it in DFU mode.

after updating to ios 6.1.3 seems my factory unlocked 3gs is not working, i cant even restore..the message displayed is "itunes software update server cannot be contacted" 'm using latest itunes with winows xp system...........please please help me
There is no such thing as a "Factory Unlocked iPhone "
They are either locked to a carrier who may at some stage offer unlocking
or sold direct to a user by Apple (from their own Stores or online .)
Those iPhones are NOT locked
Where did you get your iPhone
If from Apple try this

Factory unlocked iPhone 4 locked itself after 5.1.1 update?
I have an iPhone on the network 3, but am moving to tesco mobile. The phone is unlocked, and I have had other sims in it before. Since this update, only my 3 sim will work? Is on a new baseband too. 04.12.01
My phone has always worked before hand with other sim cards, so I can't get my head about what could be wrong.
When I put the sim in I get no service, and when I go into airplane mode and back out, it says sim failure. I know its not the sim itself, because it is a new sim and I have tested it in my HTC Wildfire.
I jumped from IOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 because I hadnt had time to update my phone in these last months (If that is of any relevence).
Would someone kindly explain whats wrong and how I can fix this?
Thanks guys,
THere in the UK, when you buy a brand new iPhone from the apple store, its factory unlocked. You can use any sim in it you want. I have used multipul sim cards from different carriers in the phone since I bought it. It works fine with my sim and I will try another and see if that works. I will report back when I have tried

When I tried to sync my 4G iphone factory unlocked to iTunes I got this message "An update to the carrier settings for your iPhone is available. Would you like to download it now?" Should I hit "Download and Update"? or "Learn More" ?
I have a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS (eg: purchased from Apple). I received the same message at some point and eventually (after reading a bit more) accepted "Download and Update". No problem. No apparent bad effects. It just seems to update things specific to the carrier (Bell Mobility in my case).

Download the current version of itunes, attach your device to your computer, open itunes, go to the device (upper right hand corner) and select update. It'll update to iOS 6.0.2, the current version of iOS.
