HT1212 Disabled iPhone

Is there a way that I can unlock my iPhone after it has been disabled without having to restore the device? I had not backed up on iTunes recently and there is a lot of data on the phone that I do not want to lose. I'm not sure which operating system I have currently, but it has probably been about 5 months since I last updated the phone. If you have any suggestions for what I can do to access my phone, please share.Thank you!

Can you elaborate further on what you mean by 'unlock'?  I presume you don't mean 'unlock' so as to use on a different network so would assume that a passcode has been entered incorrectly and it's now asking for a PUK code or something similar?  If so you can only obtain this from your mobile network provider.
Regards,
Steve

  • HT1212 disabled iPhone. cannot enter a passcode. don't want to reset it.

    can anyone help unlock my disabled iphone 4? it's stuck on the iphone disabled screen. i cannot put in a passcode. i've already tried to turn it off/on and recharged it. i don't want to reset it cuz i haven't backed any of my stuff up and don't want to lose it all.

    Yep. Anything that hadn't been synced or backed up somewhere else.
    If you set it up to back up to iCloud, those backups occur automatically without user intervention when it's connected to WiFi and a power source. You may want to enable this after you set it back up again...

  • HT1212 how do i restore a disabled iphone 4s cause its locked now and itunes wont sync up to it

    how do i fix or restore a disabled iphone 4s thats locked due to someone putting in the wrong passcode to many times

    Hi, moviekid826.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This is normal behavior as a device will remove itself from recovery mode after 15 minutes.  I would recommend processing the steps in the article below.  Once this is done, disconnect the device and allow the iOS to download.  After the iOS completes the download process these steps again.

  • How to restore the information for disabled iPhone 4 because battery discharged fully and no sync with iTune.

    Hi;
       I need to restore the information from disabled iPhone 4 because it went out of battery. I do know the passcode, but the phone is not showing the numbers to dial it. What is important for me is the data and not the phone. Below is the details of the phone:
    1. Phone info:
    iPhone 4
    iOS version: not sure
    Passcode: Known to me
    2. Objective: To restore the data from the phone (Contacts, messages, files, ...etc)
    3. Current Status:
    i. Phone screen Content:
    "iPhone is disabled"
    "connect to iTune",
      received sms,
      "slide for emergency"
      *******no passcode keyboard or dials!********
    ii. Connect to iTunes status 
    -    receive this message:" iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "xxxxxx's iPhone" because it is locked with a passcode. you must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
    **********Passcode is known but no mean to enter it from iTune or from iPhone! *********
    no appearance of iPhone in the sidebar
    4. Reason for the issue:
    i.I left the phone without SIM in a safe for a while. it has daily alarm. it seams that the battery drained completely and when I charged I got this status.
    ii. I normally don't connect (sync) my mobile to computer. I may have couple of sync but they are outdated in one hand and in the other hand I really need the information after I took them. Further, the machine is formatted where I kept the sync. So practically they are not existing.

    It's not possible to selectively restore parts of the backup - it's all or none.  If you had been syncing your contacts, calendar and notes to iCloud or an app on your computer, just sync them back - it's automatic with iCloud if you set this in settings.
    Your in-app history and data was contained in the backup you aren't using.  There's no way to retrieve them without restoring the entire backup.  For all you know, the problem causing the overheating was corrupted app data that you don't want back in the phone.

  • How to retreive data from disabled iPhone 4

    Hi.
    I have permanently disabled iPhone 4. it is my wife`s phone who passed away.
    i need to get photos and videos from the phone. The original computer which i  synced it with doesn't help.
    I have 2 computer and don't remember which one was that i synced it with,on one of them i had hard drive which crashed so i installed new one, so basically when i am connecting to iTunes on both computer it says "enter your pass code before connecting to iTunes" but on the phone there is no keypad to enter pass code, it says only "iPhone is disabled connect to iTunes"
    i have all paperworks and proof that phone and phone number belongs to me.
    So far nothing works.
    1.  I tried iFaith to dump SHSH blobs, but later found out that building IPSW is only for restoring, that it will not retrieve my data.
    2. I tried iPhone Browser but it doesn't see my device
    3. i did not try this yet, not sure how to do this
      "     http://modmyi.com/forums/file-mods/237321-how-iphone-data-recovery.html      "

    please help me, i will really appreciate it. and will pay $$$$

  • How to enable a disabled iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 3G and a passcode lock was entered 10 times incorrectly. This wiped all the information off the device and also disabled it. I would like to know how to reenable a disabled iPhone 3G.

    You'll have to restore it as a new device, however all your information is wiped for good.
