HT201412 Iphone 3GS factory unlocked but jailbroken by thieves. How can it be restored to original unlocked status

Iphone 3GS bought factory unlocked in Malaysia. The phone was stolen and jailbroken. I tried to restore after a battery change.iTunes updated system but now it cannot be restored. Pls let me know if Apple can help?

I thought this was an exceptional case. It was originally factory unlocked. Being stolen it underwent the changes and came back to the original owner. Police records are available to confirm.
This solved my question

  • I bought iPhone 5s from friend but locked by carrier how can I unlock it?

    When I bought iPhone 5s from seller he said it is unlocked.
    After I got it show that still locked by operator and I try to contact him but no reply.
    How can I unlock it?

    Ask the carrier it's locked to if they'll unlock it. The carrier lock isn't the same as the activation lock.

  • My iphone is on silent but it still rings how can I stop this?

    My iphone rings even when it is on silent, how can I fix it?

    If you have the silent switch set to on, then your phone should not ring.  No need for changing settings.
    If the silent switch is definitely fully on, then you should try resetting the phone by holding down the sleep button and home button at the same time, keep them held down til you see the Apple logo, ignore the 'slide to power off' message and release after a few seconds.
    If that doesn't work, then I would visit an Apple Store.

    Hi ylarika27,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can take if your iPhone isn't being recognized by your computer or iTunes:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    If this resolves the issue of your computer and iTunes recognizing the iPhone but you continue to experience difficulties with Picasa I recommend contacting their support team for additional assistance.

  • My iphone  3gs does not have a wifi button how can i get one

    as my tittle states i dont have a wifi button can i get one ?

    First things first: you bought this iPhone second-hand from someone you know. That person must have used his iTunes account to activate the phone. Have you tried connecting your iPhone to your computer (Mac or PC, doesn't matter) via USB and have it recognized by iTunes on your computer? If not, you'll have to activate the iPhone first. iTunes will do that for you, provided the former user has notified Apple he has sold his iPhone to you. Then, there's the question of your mobile phone provider: iPhones are network-locked. You can't buy an iPhone from someone who's, say, an Orange customer, then use it on another network than Orange's (in the US, of course, that point is moot). Only way to unlock your phone is to jailbreak it, but it's risky, and frankly, I don't think you'll find a lot of info on this forum on the subject... First off, check on which operator network you friend was.

  • HT201407 my iphone 3gs is all blank just lit up how can i get it back to work back againg

    i need help to get my i phone working back again is just lit up no images or nothing just light

    Try resetting it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing.  If it won't reset after 30 seconds or so see if you can restore it in iTunes by connecting your phone, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Restore.  If you can't, you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

    got an iphone 3gs as gift, but for unlocking the same the company is asking for a bill. Where do i get one?

    The company is asking for a bill to ensure the account has been payed off / qualifies for unlocking. The company will also need the information to log any requests.
    Solution:
    Get in contact with the origional owner of the phone and have them contact the previous carrier to get it unlocked.

    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other
