Hey Apple! You bricked my locked iPhone

I did the 1.1.1 update and it failed. I keep getting SIM errors even though my phone is locked. If this was just an iPod, it would have been OK, but this is a phone which in my eyes is a necessity. (I know people in 3rd world countries are going to have my *** for that). What can be done to fix it? Can I reinstall the 1.0.2 update? Thanks in advance.

I would not wait for the update. Call Apple or go to one of their stores and get it resolved. I mean you did not try to unlock it..... and you are paying for a service that you are not getting.

  • How do you restore a locked iphone?

    My iphone says it needs to be restored.  However, when I try to connect to itunes (via my Macbook), itunes gives me an error message that my iphone must first be unlocked.  But my iphone wont let me do anything but place an emergency call.  Need help!  Thanks.

    Have you tried unlocking it and then plugging it in (without switching it off first)?
    I have a faint memory of having seen this once a long time back with a 3G.....

  • HT4367 just bought an apple tv and updated it and now the light won't stop flashing... even after i tried to restore via itunes and all i got was a unknown error message... hey apple you guys have a fix for this?

    I just got an apple tv and it dosen't work at all. I tried to use the home share feature with my iMac and both devices don't see each other, yet they are o the same network. I am not using a apple router. I tried updating the apple tv to see if that would resolve the issue but now the status light just blinks rapidly. I tried using itunes restore it but all i get is an unknown error. So with all of this said what is the fix apple?

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.

  • Bought a locked iphone4 5months ago before a deployment, will the apple store unlock a locked iphone4?

    bought a locked iphone4 5 months ago before a deployment, will the apple store unlock a locked iphone?

    Only the provider can unlock the phone and pass the unlock info to Apple. This info will be added to a database and you'll be able to use another SIM when you connect to iTunes after you have been notified that the phone is now unlocked.

    without a BlackBerry service, you have GSM and edge (not EDGE).
    that means you can do with your BlackBerry device

  • As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT

    As I can use my iphone in Costa Rica if you buy from apple miami and is locked to AT & T??

    There is nothing you can do.
    There is nothing AT&T can do.
    There is nothing Apple can do.
    If you wanted to use the phone internationally, you should have gotten an unlocked phone. You are stuck with AT&T.

  • I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country

    I'm visiting new York(USA) for work on Sunday, just wanted to know if i can buy an un locked iphone from the apple store or not, since i'm not a resident, to the record we don't have an apple store at my country.

    You can buy an unlocked iPhone at any of the 5 Apple stores in NYC. All are open on Sunday. Note a couple of things, however:
    US iPhone 5's will work on 3G in the rest of the world, but not on LTE because the US phones use different channels than other countries
    Be sure you say "unlocked", not "no contract"
    If it breaks it must be returned to a US store for repair, and if shipped to Apple it must be from and to a US address

  • Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??

    Hey Apple when are you going to fix the problems with IOS 8.3??
    Message is working weird.
    I don't have internet service when I'm away from my WiFi, because my phone won't use LTE now.
    Should I wait for a IOS 8.3.1 update or reset my phone to factory and start over?
    If there's a fix coming when will we see it?
    (I'm using iPhone6 plus)
    I've tried everything else to fix the problems I'm having. Soft restart. Hard restart. Used your chat line. Called Verizon. Reset network settings.... Help!!!!!
    I've posted on the Apple Communities about all this and I've sent in a couple of bug reports.
    I live up in the mountains and MUST be able to access my Verizon LTE for information if there is a fire! I'm in California!

    I have a Verizon iPhone 6 and am having none of those problems.

    Didn't they already have you do that? If you haven't, yes, you should restore your phone as new and test.

    If you are in a situation where you may need emergency information, organizations such as the Red Cross recommend things like this:

    This is a user forum. You aren't talking to Apple here.
    Return your iPhone for a refund. There is no way to remove the Activation Lock. Apple won't get involved.
