HT201328 Why my phone can't activate after restore? Even att confirm my iphone is qualify to unlock. Pls help anyone. Thx!

I

KiltedTim,
Are you saying that if my iPhone is currently jailbroken and unlocked via Cydia and I just got it "unlocked" permanently by AT&T it would not be possible to upgrade to the latest iOS and use non-AT&T SIM card?
Basically, I just go my iPhone unlocked by ATT and it is troublesome all the times to go through the UltraSn0w process to unlock the phone after jailbreaking it.
Can I just now go ahead and restore my iPhone to the latest iOS and not worry about jailbreaking it/unlocking it since now AT&T has unlocked it permanently and use it with any other GSM network?
Please advise... and thank you for your help in advance

  • Can't activate after restore. Know for a fact it wasn't jailbroken. Help?

    I backed up my phone, deleted all the content and reset it. Now I'm unable to activate it. I've been trying for several hours so I don't think it's because the server is down.  From what I've read this happens when a phone is jailbroken.  I'm the only owner of this phone and I know it's never been jailbroken. Is there anything else that could cause this? How can I fix this?

    I kept getting the "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" message.  I tried activating over my WiFi at home and with iTunes on two separate computers. None of it worked, so I went to AT&T. I tried activating it over the WiFi at AT&T and we tried it with a different SIM card.  I've tried restoring it using iTunes. None of it has worked.

  • HT201412 phone will not activate after restore

    My iphone 3gs will not activate after restore.

    That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it from the original carrier.
    Where EXACTLY did you get the phone? Did you or a previous owner ever get it "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?

  • IPhone 4s can't activate after restore

    I have an iPhone 4s. The software started acting a little buggy so I opted to do a system restore. After I did, I can't activate my phone. I don't have service with a carrier and use the phone primarily on wifi, and I need to get it working ASAP.

    It's because you were on the iOS 6 beta, which just expired. You'll need to get the final 6.0 release from the developer iOS portal here and install it manually.

    Since we don't have a crystal ball, its very hard for anyone to tell you why it might not activate if you don't provide details...
    What happens when you try?  What error message do you get?  Was the phone previously jailbroken or unlocked?

  • Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    Can't activate after latest iPad upgrade. Error message advises me to go to iTunes but it won't get off the error screen.

    I am the original owner of an ipad and it woke it yesterday requiring me to activate it using the original apple id used to set it up.
    It will not accept my apple id and password.
    It does not show up in my icloud under devices.
    I have tried hard restart (home + power) and itunes recovery. 
    I am out of ideas and have not found anything for original owners (as opposed to someone who bought it from someone else).  I did see some posts from last year where a few people had the same problem and took it back to apple and got a refurbished unit given to them since customer service and engineering couldn't fix it.  I was wondering if this was related to the recent ios8 upgrade. Anybody else have ideas or same problem before I hike down to the apple store for mercy?

    I have the same problem,   it was working last week, but this week, after I made a restore, the iMessage is not activating.
    I am using STC carrier, and I searched in the internet and found that all people suffering from the same problem have STC sim card.
    If you try any other carrier, it will work fine !! 
    I contacted STC (Saudi Telecom Company) and they said we don't have any problem!
    That's weird.

    Activating after a Find My iPhone lock bricks the device if you don't know the password used by Find My iPhone.
    Read through this article to find if your device has an activation lock.

  • I purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

    I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.
