HT1349 iphone is locked and disabled

My iphone is locked and disabled

Hello,
I am contacting you because my iPhone won't activate. Recently I traveled to UK (London) and I bought myself an iPhone 4 from a pawnshop. They said that the phone was used with 02 carrier. I got home (Bulgaria) and tried to start the iPhone but the only thing that shows is:
"Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier's store to recieve a replacement SIM card".
I don't have that option and I really don't know what to do. I would be really happy if you could help me find a solution.
Thanks,
Best regards

    Hey salosawaya,
    If you have never synced your device with iTunes and you forgot your passcode, you'll follow these directions:
    If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
    "iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
    "You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

    Hi, my iphone is locked and I can't get it to work at all. do you have any suggestions>?

    Hi irishdave75,
    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you mean that it is locked with a passcode and you are unable to access it, you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

    If, on the other hand, you mean that your iPhone is locked up or otherwise not responding, then this article may be of more use:

  • Bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?

    I bought an ipod 4g at a pawn shop, it was locked and disabled but the guy said I could restore it by connecting it to my computer and pressing the home and sleep buttons at the same time, it didn't work and he won't take back the ipod what do i do?
    When I try connecting it to my computer itunes opens and says I cannot connect to the ipod because it is disabled, enter passcode on ipod. The ipod is locked and disabled and will not allow me to try and put in a passcode, which I wouldn't be able to do because I have no idea what it might have been.
    I downloaded the newest version of Itunes, restarted computer, connected ipod, nothing, held every button down for what seems like forever, nothing. I think I have been screwed by the pawnshop. Is there anyway of restoring this thing or is now just a $60.00 paperweight?

    my iphone is locked and i need to delete every thing on it, and reinstall. how do i do it?

    You can restore the phone.
    Turn the phone off.
    Once the phone is off, hold the home button and don't let go.
    Press the power button while still holding the home button.
    You should see 'Connect to Itunes' on the screen.

    Hello arlyn-cavite,
    If the screen is not showing anyting when you press any of the buttons you may want to try these steps.
    From article iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Take care,
    Sterling
