HT201263 SIM code message after restoring but phone screen shows only Apple logo

iTunes says its restoring my iPhone 3Gs then I get the message "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone is PIN locked. Please enter the PIN code of your SIM card and connect your iPhone to iTunes again". Problem is I can't-- the phone displays only the Apple logo again! Any ideas of what to do next? Not looking good! I have tried restarting computer and getting phone turned off and in recovery mode. Still same problem.

My husband brought up a point- I'm not sure if I did a back-up on my phone after I updated to iOS 6. The backup in iTunes can be from an earlier iOS . Could this be an issue??

    Something has gone wrong. Force the phone into recovery mode, as described here, & restore it:

    FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
    3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
    4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
    DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
    5. Release Home button.
    ON COMPUTER
    6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
    7. Select "Restore iPad"...
    Note:
    1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
    2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.
    3. Repeat the process if necessary.

    You should reset your iPhone,
    Reset your iPhone by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPhone will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • Soft restore but now screen shows ITunes logo

    dropped phone in water yesterday. dried it but this morning after charging overnight and took off charger black screen with battery showing dead. did a soft restore and now screen shows pic of ITune logo and battery charger cable. After awhile screen goes back to showing alternately a dead or low battery and the apple logo....any ideas of what to do next?

    You have hardware damage from water exposure and the only solution is replacement or repair.
    The only way to "dry" a phone which was submerged in water is to turn it off and place in a sealed plastic bag with uncooked rice or (better) silica gel packs and leave it untouched for at least 3 days. There is a small chance that this will prevent corrosion and damage.  Powering it on before it fully dries internally, as you did, reduces the chance of success from very small to almost zero
    Define "soft" restore - do you mean this?  Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • My Iphone 4s just went blank today.  I have tried charging, rebooting, restoring, and now recovering.  Nothing seems to have worked  While trying to recover, my Itunes says "waiting for Iphone"  My screen shows the Apple logo and a status bar.  It's 2 hrs

    Help!!!  Been close to 3 hrs now

    Hello Sean,
    It sounds like you are constantly needing to restore your phone because it keeps going into recovery mode. Usually putting a device into recovery mode and restoring it can help isolate an issue to your iPhone hardware if an issue persists afterwards. I would try manually putting it into recovery mode and restoring it 1 more time:
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

    If that does not resolve it the symptoms indicate to me that it is a hardware issue causing this to happen and would seek service for it:

  • After restoring 60gb photo ipod showing only 16gb memory - help?

    Ipod was working fine until one day a folder icon came up with the apple web address. It then suddenly reset itself and showed none of my music or photos (there was about 25gb on it).
    I then tried updating the software - it was up to date.
    I then restored it.
    When I attempted to add my music back on the ipod it told me there was not enough room. When I checked, the ipod was showing that there was only 16gb of free memory. When I checked the properties of the ipod through my computer it shows used space 20.2gb and free space 16gb. This still doesn't add up to the 60gb it is supposed to be.
    Can anyone help me?

    Spooke to Apple - £189 to repair. It is a replacement of my original so the warranty is finished (even though it was replaced last May - within a year from when it died - you don't get a full year warranty on the replacement).
    Once repaired would only be guaranteed for 90 days. Not worth it when I can get a new one for not much more.
    Have bought a new one. If this lasts only a year or less it will be my last ipod! They are easy to use but not convinced by longevity!
    Anyone got any suggestions for what to do with a broken ipod

  • I phone 4s frozen with apple logo

    My I phone 4s is frozen with the apple logo and nothing else.
    Wont boot up from iTunes or on its own. turns off every now and again but then just shows the apple logo ???

    See this support document when you are unable to restore. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    After that, you would need to identify the operating system you are using on the computer for help to get the device recognized. However, the information in the other support document should help.

  • I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I have iphone 3gs. I upgraded its software through itunes but it stopped reading sim. Then I restored but since then iphone is locked with message to insert a carrier compatible sim. I've checked my sim, it is ok. How to restore the iphone?

    I'm going to make some guesses here. You bought your phone second hand. In other words, not from Apple and not from your carrier. What you got is a hacked phone that was originally carrier locked, most likely to AT&T in the US. You are NOT in the US. (If I get any of this wrong, please tell me).
    What has happened is when you updated the software, it was re-locked to the original carrier.  ONLY the carrier can authorize an unlock. If it is locked to AT&T, you're out of luck as they WILL NOT unlock an iPhone for any reason.
    If it's locked to another carrier, you will have to find out what carrier that is (you can NOT tell by looking at the model number) and find out if they unlock iPhones. If you can't find out, or if they do not, then your only real option is to sell the phone and purchase one from a LEGITIMATE source.
