HT201328 how do i do a factory unlock to my iphone 4s?

How can i perform a factory unlock on my iphone 4s?

"Factory" unlock implies that the phone was purchased unlocked.  Your phone is carrier locked.  Only the carrier can unlock it.  Contact the carrier to whom the phone is locked and ask if the phone can be unlocked and what the requirements are.  Apple has nothing to do with this.

  • How can I request a Factory Unlock for my iPhone 5?

    I bought a used iPhone 5 that was locked to TMobile. I was told that I can request a free unlock from apple. I just wanted to know how I can go about doing this?

    Only the carrier to which an iphone is locked can unlock it.
    You would have to ask TMobile if they offer this service and if you qualify.
    Contact TMobile.  They are the only ones who can help you.

  • How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

    How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode? 
    Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
    Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
    I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
    P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

  • I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

    i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
    its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

    iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
    How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
    The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

    To be clear, you cannot get your phone "factory unlocked".
    In order to be factory unlocked, it is manufactured unlocked to any carriers at the factory.
    Phones that are locked cannot be "factory unlocked".
    They can be carrier unlocked (in some cases as Niel describes).

  • HT1414 how do i do a factory reset on my iphone 4?

    how do i do a factory reset on my iphone 4?

    I use Rescue and Recovery for my backups.  
    Do you have Lenovo ONEKEY recovery program (OKR) installed on your system from the factory install?
    If so, what version?  8.0?
    There is limited documentation around about OKR. A Google/Bing search of "onekey recovery documentation will provide some items to view.
    You state: recovery discs on DVD are not an option.  .. Does this mean you do not have a DVD burner?
    I will post 3  INFORMATIONAL links.  One describes OKR 6.0, with a create recovery media on DVD or USB.
    It is my understanding, which may be wrong, Lenovo does not ship recovery discs for systems with OKR.  You must take the machine to a Lenovo shop to get HDD reset.

    Of course, those prices are also exactly what the current carrier locked, but unsubsidized contract free, iPhone 5's sell for now at AT&T and Verizon, so its hardly some great revelation that CNET stumbled upon.

  • Will factory unlocked/contract free iphone 4s work in trinidad and tobago?

    Bought a factory unlocked/ contract free iphone 4s from the apple store online directly, shipped to a family member and they're bringing it for me tomorrow. I've seen people complaining abt activation issues and stuff. I'm curious as to whether i'll encounter any problems. I shouldn't because my service provider is a registered apple partner (bmobile - they're still selling the iphone 4, haven't upgraded to 4s down here). Anything special i need to do to activate my iphone when i get it?

    US iPhone will not work with LTE/4G elsewhere. This is due to hardware
    in the US iPhone, and cannot be updated.

  • HT201412 hello. my phone is factory unlocked. but my iphone support one network only in pakistan. if i insert another network sim it support but cannot make a call or text neither incoming nor outgoing. plz guide me what should i do.

    hello. my phone is factory unlocked.
    but my iphone support one network (Zong) only in pakistan. if i insert another network sim it support (Catch the signl and show the network name ) but cannot make a call or text neither incoming nor outgoing.
    plz guide me what should i do.
    ios 7.0.4

    There aren't any supported carriers in Pakistan. Apple hasn't released the iPhone there. The OP is using a grey-market iPhone and hence is pretty much on his/her own as regards getting this phone working with the carrier, unless that carrier can help.
    Regards.
