HT201328 How do I verify that my iPhone unlock was successful?

I just upgraded to the iPhone 5 from the 3GS.  I submitted an unlock order for the 3GS and received a confirmation that it was successful.  After following the unlock instructions my old iPhone 3GS doesn't seem any different.  It still shows AT&T as my carrier, with or without the SIM card.  I don't think it worked.  What changes would confirm that the unlock was actually successful?  I've already tried wiping it a second time and restoring it.  It didn't work.
Thanks,
Rob

I restored it as a backup per the instructions on HT5014.  I'll try wiping it again and restoring it as new then get back to you.  Thanks.
Update:  That worked.  I wiped it and iTunes said "Congratulations your iPhone is unlocked".

  • HT201328 How do i verify that my iphone was unlocked without a new sim card?

    I didn't recieve a message in itunes after the restore like others have.

    Then it's probably not unlocked yet.

  • How can I verify that my iPhone is legit.

    Unfortunately I am in a country that does not have an official apple store.
    There are many "authorized" resellers, but when you purchase from them the box is always open, and they claim that the phones are "factory" unlocked.
    There are even some phone service providers who offer the phone, but the quality of hardware again looks suspect.
    The phones always look dirty, and I fear that they could have loaded all kinds of junk on it.

    Here's a list of authorized iPhone wireless carriers:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
    If I were someone that did not have any Apple stores, purchasing from an authorized source, on that list, is the only place I'd buy from. The fact that these boxes have been opened pretty much assures you that these phones have been hacked.

  • Workflow tables to verify that customised wf migration was successful

    Hi,
    We have a requirement like, we need to migrate customized workflows from one test instance to another test instance in R12.1.3,We are doing it through shell scripts(automated)
    But the issue is we need to validate if they were migrated successfully or not and for that we need to check some tables into which entries goes for the first time when the wf is just uploaded...
    Kindly let me know if there are some tables to check through timestamp or something.
    Or any other way to validate the wf migration success.
    Help is appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    depends on what is being changed in the workflow. If activities/processes are changed then check WF_ACTIVITIES, for items WF_ITEMS and so on. These tables would have begin date which would point to the upload date.
    Thanks

  • How can I verify that I properly "SIM-unlocked" my IPhone 4?

    As part of my service plan with Bouygues (France), I got an IPhone 4 which is "SIM-locked" and can not be used with another telephone operator.
    After 3 months it is possible to organise the "SIM-unlocking" of the phone, free of charge.
    I did so by contacting the customer support and performing the appropriate procedure with ITunes. Everything seems to have gone right, the IPhone 4 is as great a phone as it was before,
    my question is simple, how can I verify that the phone is actually unlocked? a menu in the phone for example?

    Just put a sim from a different carrier in and try it.

  • HT3576 how can i verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223.

    how can i verify that the network or firewall is not blocking access to port 5223?

    Talk to someone who knows something about networking and/or firewalls on an appropriate forum.
    Configuring your network and/or firewall is beyond the scope of this forum, which is devoted to issues using the iPhone.

  • HT4859 How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in iCloud. With Dropbox, I can actually see my stored files. With iCloud, itseems I'm supposed 2 just trust that Appl has the data. Short of doing a restore is there no way to check the data?

    How can I verify that my App data is actually stored in the iCloud. I can see and access my notebook, contacts etc. on the iCloud website, and I can see my photos in a folder on my Windows-based desktop compter (iCloud/Photostream). But no app data.
    With Dropbox, I can actually see all of my stored files. With iCloud, it seems, I'm supposed to just trust that Apple has my back. Short of deliberately trashing my app data and then attempting a restore, is there no way to check the data?

    You can't access them on Windows (unless you have iCloud enabled Windows programs) and I don't think any are, yet.
    iCloud data is accessed via Apps/Programs, the Windows programs vendors will have to step up (just to make it worse Microsoft have not yet enabled their Mac programs, such as Office yet) I doubt that iCloud access is much of a priority for them, complain to MS, when enough Windows users complain maybe they'll do something.

  • How can I verify that backup media is workable?

    Dear Experts,
    I do backup SQL backup on Hard Disk everyday, then use NT BACKUP to external TAPE DRIVE, report is showing no any error and completed backup, questions, how can I verify that backup media is workable?
    Best and Regards,
    wilson

    Hi Wilson,
    In SQL Enterprise manager , there is an option to verify your backup .
    You need to enable this verification by checkting the box. If this option is enabled , after taking the backup , it will go for the verification and give you the result .
    If it is verified successful, it means, the backup has been written fine in the Tape/HDD , and it will be
    restored fine.
    Even if this verify option is done, SAP reccomends to perform a test restoration of the backup to a test
    system in order to make sure everything working fine .
    Regards,
    Nibu Antony

  • How could i know that my iphone 4 s r unlocked completed

    How could i know that my iphone 4s are unlocked completed?

    If you requested an unlock from the carrier the device is locked to, they advised you they had approved an unlock, then generally the method to complete the unlock is to restore the device as new through iTunes, at which point you will see a message on iTunes when complete that says, Congratulations, you iPhone is now unlocked.
