How do I unlock Icloud on iPhone 5 A1428?

I bought a iphone5 off line and it was supposed to be unlocked but it'snot, its iCloud locked...

The phone is a brick. Contact the seller for a refund or file a claim if you used a resale marketplace.

  • HT201328 How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    How do I unlock a disabled iphone?

    The article I linked specifically says "iPhone is disabled".  And there is a reference to 'lock' on that page, at the bottom:
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock.
    There's even a picture.
    Also, that article links to another article about Using Passcodes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4113
    Which refers to a 'lock' and' 'unlock' multiple times.
    Or, hey, that article has a link to Find My iPhone overview... which ALSO refers to 'locking' an iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
    Use Lost Mode to lock and track your device
    Oh, and THAT article also links to Activation Lock: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13695   which also has a lot of references to 'lock'.  Heh, it's even in the TITLE.
    Are you going to keep trying to say that "The ONLY time you 'unlock' a phone is with a carrier."?
    You are wrong.  That is not the only time you 'unlock' an iPhone.
    The OP asked: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    A phone locked to a carrier is not disabled.  It can be used with that carrier.
    Unlocking a disabled iPhone refers to when the passcode has been entered too many times.
    There is a passcode lock function for iPhones.
    To unlock an iPhone that is passcode locked, you need to enter the passcode.
    Enter the passcode incorrectly too many times, and it becomes disabled.
    The only thing about the OP's post that even suggests this is an issue about carrier unlocking is the article he linked from, which is most likely explained because he seached for 'unlock iphone'.  First Google result is the article he linked from.
    But a carrier locked phone is not DISABLED.  You are ignoring that part of the OP's post, and focusing on the word 'unlock', which has multiple meanings.
    The most likely issue is a passcode lock on the phone, which was entered incorrectly too many times, and thus, the iPhone is disabled.
    Just  like the OP said: "How do I unlock a disabled iphone?"
    Being 'locked' to a carrier has NOTHING to do with an iPhone being disabled.  Restricted to use on that particular carrier?  Yes.  Disabled?  No.

  • How do I unlock my original iPhone to be used as a backup to my iPhone 3G?

    Hey Everyone,
    Some background:
    Back in July '08, my original iPhone died. This occurred 2-3 weeks after the 1 year warranty expired and the Genius at my local Apple Store was kind enough to still replace it with a refurbished one. However, before I met with the Genius, I bought an iPhone 3G (which is what I'm using now).
    My question:
    The refurbished iPhone came with firmware 1.1.4 and is useless because it keeps showing the 'connect to iTunes' image. How do I unlock it so I can use it as a back-up to my iPhone 3G?
    Right now, it's just a paper weight. When I first got it, I was hoping I could connect it to iTunes to unlock it but I stopped it half way through the process because it started to cancel my iPhone 3G data plan (to replace it with the EDGE data plan). In fact, I had to go to an AT&T store to restore the data plan on my 3G.
    FYI, I have no desire to jailbreak it or unlock for use with other mobile carriers. I just want to unlock the phone so that I can use it with my current AT&T plan. I also did a quick Google search an all the articles I found were for jailbreaking the iPhone.
    Thanks!

    Ok, weird. After starting this thread, I plugged my original iPhone into my MBP and iTunes displayed a message saying the firmware was too old to synchronize. It suggested that I upgrade the firmware. Instead of continuing, I chose to eject the iPhone and now it's activated - i.e., I can use the iPhone and access the apps (except for the ones that require a data connection). So, I guess I'm all set.
    Hopefully, iTunes didn't screw up the data plan on my 3G (I don't think it did since it didn't show any message of communicating with AT&T's servers).

  • How do I unlock my Apple iPhone 4S so I can use other SIM cards abroad?

    Hello!
    I have an iPhone 4s which i have had for years with Vodafone UK.  I know I can get them to unlock my iPhone for me so I can use it abroad.  I tried to do this.  But they said the IMEI number I have for my phone is not the same as the one in their records.
    This is because Apple (in store) swapped it out when I had problems with it within the first year) so I have a different iPhone from the one they sold me.
    So I am lost.  How do I unlock an iPhone from Apple so i can use sim cards abroad?
    Any help is gratefully received!
    Alan

    Thanks Peter!  If only I was in the UK!  I am in Nicaragua and south America for the next four months hence why trying to get my phone unlocked!  It is a nightmare and at the moment I have Vodafone saying they can't do it because they don't recognize the IMEI number and Apple doing the same.
    Any other ideas about what I can do remotely. 
    Thank you for your reply.

  • This 3G iphone is locked. I need to unlock it..how can I unlock my 3G iphone?

    I need to unlock my 3G iphone..how can I do it?

    If you mean that you want to unlock it from your network provider:
    - Ensure that you're out of contract. If you're still in contract then you may have to pay cancellation fees.
    - Contact your network provider who may be able to unlock your phone for you.
    Depending on your carrier, this may cost a small fee of around £10/$15.

  • How to unlock Icloud lock iphone 5

    i am buy the iphone 5 in london but icloud is locked plz help to unlock the icloud my money will waste plz help Thanks You In advance

    The only way to get past the activation lock is to have the Apple ID and password from the original owner. If you do not or cannot get this, then the phone is useless to you. Return it for a refund if possible.

  • How do I unlock an old iphone which isn't now associated to my account?

    I have given my old iphone to my niece and it needs to be unlocked so she can put another providers sim in it. The only option on the website is for my current hand set and not my old one, I have tried ringing technical support but was waiting to get through for 45 mins before they closed - how do I do this?

    It costs £8.99 to unlock a device from EE there are a number of options that you might be able to use to get your device unlocked.
    But first this.
    Only contract devices have to be used for 6 months first before requesting a unlock. PAYG, Sim only or secondhand devices this rule doesn't apply.
    1, If you still with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the unlocking request form with your details. Any phone that was replaced by insurance you will need to let EE know that it was a replacement device if your still in contract. You can also unlock an old device if you have a upgrade device on your account just fill out the request form with your details and the phone number you used with this device. It doesn't matter if you use this number on a new device now.
    2, If you already have an account with EE and you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device lock to EE and you would like it unlocked you just need to use your Sim card in the device so the IMEI number gets registered to your account. Once your account has the IMEI number on it you can the fill out the online unlock request form.
    3, If you have brought/been given a 2nd hand device and don't have a EE/Orange/T-Mobile account and you don't want to use the EE networks you need to get a PAYG SIM card and set up an account. Top-up the account to £8.99 to pay the unlock fee than fill out the online unlock request form.
    (If using a PAYG you must make sure that the £8.99 is on your account when EE take the payment if it's not your device will not get unlocked and EE will not inform you that the unlock request has failed. It's you job to make sure the cedit is there when EE go to take it they will not inform you when there going to take it)
    Or
    4, A non EE customer can take the device to your local EE store and request the unlock from there it will still cost £8.99 and it still takes 7 to 10 days
    5, If you would like a device unlocked and you are no longer with EE/Orange/T-Mobile just fill out the online unlock request form using the number that you used with that device on EE/Orange/T-Mobile. EE will unlock devices that are up to 10 years old that were used on their network. You will still be billed to unlock the device.
    6, If you have brought or thinking about buying a 2nd hand device and you are not in the UK you are going to find it very hard to get a device unlocked when you setup an account you need a UK address also you will need to get a PAYG SIM card but you will also need to find away of topping up the account with GBP, if you can not do any of this the device will not get unlocked there are no exceptions.
