How do i unlock my iPhone?
well, i switched countries and bought a new sim to put in my phone but turns out the iPhone's compatible with only one network (the very first one that was put in). i tried everything, resetting network settings, every other setting possible and finally out of despiration, i chose reset factory settings and now my phone just doesn't work! when i put it on, it just shows the apple logo. is there any way i can get it unlocked? i can definately not go back to the country where i bought it from for doing so...!
No, only the original carrier can unlock it and Apple can't help you. there is no way around this...... I sense an Ebay 'trust me' purchase
Have a look here - he original carrier might unlock it for a fee

Although if it came from the US, the answer will be No.

How do I unlock an iPhone 4 with iOS 7 and bypass the activation lock? I can't find the previous owner and I really want to use my new iPhone, I did purchase it Second-Handed.and now I'm stuck.

If you want to risk your money, fine.
To answer your questions
Is this just an iOS 7 feature?
Yes, Activation Lock is an iOS 7 feature.
Could you not restore the device to an earlier version?
No, you cannot downgrade your iOS device.
That may mean jailbreaking, I'm not sure.
Jailbreaking is not supported by Apple or this forum.
Or what about replacing the motherboard?
There are no user serviceable parts on an iPhone. -
How do I unlock an iphone 5 with Sprint 15.1 at IOS 7.0.6 IMEI 99 000320 012095 0 .
The SIM is in and Sprint gave me the unlock code, but what are the steps to unlock it?There is no such thing as an unlock code. Sprint may have processed the unlock, and then requested you restore the iPhone using iTunes to complete it. But that's it. There is no code to enter, and nowhere to enter it any way.

how can I unlock my iphone??? on the screen I only have the apple logo and a thing that looks like if the phone is working but no advance
Hi,
Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

how can i unlock my iphone from the us?? please help
If you are referring to a lock to a specific cell carrier, so you can use the iPhone with a different carrier, only the cell carrier to whom the phone is locked can authorize unlocking. You will need to contact the carrier.

Unlikely as you do not meet there requirements for unlocking.
Have your friend the provided the phone contact them. Based on your statements I am concluding he was or still is an AT&T customer, that is one of the requirements of getting the device unlocked. -

How can i unlock an iphone to be worked on all networks (in egypt)??
If the carrier tells you that they do not unlock iPhones, then there is nothing you can do other than sell the iPhone to someone who can use it with that carrier and purchase an iPhone that is officially unlocked.

HT4946 how do i unlock my iPhone when its locked in the itune plug in mode?
how do I unlock my iPhone when it is in the itune locked mode for updates, i powered out when i was updating
Unfortunately once the iPhone is in that mode the best practice is to just restore the whole iPhone via iTunes.
The iPhone is in recovery mode. So to get it out of recovery mode and restore through iTunes is all you got to do.
Hope this helps -

How can I unlock my iphone with a black screen to back up to itunes?
Reset the phone: Press both the home and on/off buttons for AT LEAST 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears. (No data loss)
If no response, connect to AC adaptor, charge for at least 30 minutes and repeat the reset if needed
If still no response, there is a hardware failure that needs evaluation by Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country. -
