HT1430 my iphone 4 will not unlock

My iphone 4 will not unlock. It switches on, accepts the code then says 'unlocking please wait' but does not unlock.

Try a reset. Hold Sleep/Wake button and Home button down until Apple logo appears. No date will be lost.

    Iphone 4 will not unlock but the same portion of the screen is active using SMS or any other feature. What is the issue?

    It won't recognise it at all, but luckily I backed up very recently.
    I've booked an appointment with an Apple store who promise a working iPhone within 10 minutes of your appointment, whether fixed or a brand new iPhone.
    Thank you both for your suggestions. I'll leave the question unanswered incase people have any other suggestions or similar issues.
    Cheers.

  • HT1430 my iphone 4s will not shut off. I've tried everyone suggestions but when it looks like it shuts off in a few seconds it comes back on. I've tried every combination of the sleep/wake button and the home button. Nothing works.

    My iphone 4s will not shut off. I have tried every combination of sleep/wake and home (round) buttons with no success. Don't know what else to try. (Try telling that to the airline stuardess).

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset

    Backing up, Updating and Restoring
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • HT1430 My iPhone 4 will not power on.  When connected to iTunes it shows battery at 100%.  Pressing and holding the sleep/wake button does nothing; just a black screen.

    Only way is to bring it to the Apple Store and use the warranty if it hasn't expired

  • My Iphone 3g will not unlock if its been locked for too long

    just as the title says and all these issues too....
    Whenever my phone is locked for too long it will not respond to any button presses. the only way i can get it out of that is if i hard reboot it but happens again afterwards. the only way to keep it from not acting like that is to keep it plugged in constantly.  also if i try to shut it off normally it will power on by itself right after its shut off.  ive tried to do a full restore in recovery mode and that didnt even solve the problem.  any ideas?

    Anyone? C'mom, I know some of you techie type folks know how to fix this!

  • Re-booted/restored water damaged iphone 5s, will not unlock or turn off.

    my mom recently had dropped her phone in the toilet (she didn't use it yet) and she quickly took it out of the water. We then put in rice overnight, and i rebooted it and restored it after a couple of hours this morning. But now the screen isn't responding to unlocking it or even letting me turn it off. I know that going to my phone service provider is a option one and they can give her a new phone, but is there another way to fix it before going to my service provider? 
    fyi, my mom has had her phone for two weeks, so the phone is still brand new...

    Water damage voids your warranty.
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • HT5163 my iphone 4s is unlock to orange uk ileft orange gon to tesco o2 because i left will not unlock it will you ulock

    hi my iphone 4s is unlock to orange uk i left orange gon to tesco o2 i  have unlock sim but orange will not unlock my phone because i left will you unlock it for me

    Apple does not unlock iPhones - only the carrier to which the iPhone is
    locked can initiate the unlock. You will have to work with Orange UK to
    get your iPhone unlocked and there is no other legitimate way to get the
    iPhone unlocked. 
    Enjoy the spam the spiders will send you - not wise to put your email
    in a public forum. Same for publishing your phone number.
    Forum etiquette is that your question will be answered
    in the forum and not emailed to you. That procedure is used so that someone
    else searching for the same problem will see any responses here while
    they would not see anything emailed to you.

  • My iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode ?

    my iphone 4s will not come out of unlock mode i reset the phone back to factory setting still not working

    When you updated did you have to create a different code for the install? I just got another tip from a different user and found out (and didn't think about it at the time) the install code has to be used to open the phone...NOT the previous version code! Got mine open. Good luck.
