HT3529 If I erase all contents and settings, will my unlocked iphone be unlocked anymore or not ?

The reason why I want to reset my iphone is because my imessage doesn't work. I updated to ios 6.0.1 and my imessage stopped working. I have read through pages on how to fix it but then I saw some people reseted or rebooted their iphone. So I wanna reset it. But im not sure if its gonna make my unlocked iphone no longer unlocked. Cause I don't want to spend money to unlock it again.

I wonder if you can help me understand why my (factory) unlocked phone 'locked' after resetting/erasing contents?

    her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

  • HT5661 Im trying to erase all content and settings on my previous Iphone

    Im trying to erase all content and settings on my previous Iphone, but it is asking me for my restrictions passcode. How do I get this passcode?

    It is your iPhone. You should know the restriction passcode.

  • HT201274 My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet.  If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" will iTune force an upgrade to 8?  I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.

    To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
    In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
    If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
    Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings.  This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
    Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back.  Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues.

  • I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    Yes, the phone will still be connected to your Verizon account. In order to remove it from your Verizon account, you will either need to activate another phone on that number or disconnect the number.

    No, Erase All Contents and Settings restores the device to factory condition but with the current iOS version.

  • If I backup my iPhone in iTunes then "Erase All Content and Settings", will I still be able to restore the iPhone?

    I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes,  my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!

    If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
    If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there.

  • Will "erase all content and settings" lock my unlocked phone back up?

    I have an unlocked iphone and am about to sell it to a friend, but first I want to erase all of my contacts, pictures, etc... Is it best to use the "erase all content and settings" to get rid of all my personal information without locking my phone back up? Because I don't know how to unlock phones...
    Thanks

    We can't discuss things involving hacked phones. Erase all may or may not relock the phone but the smart person erases all their personal information before selling an electronic device.

  • If i do "Erase All Content and Settings" will if delete all my pictures?

    What is it that you are trying to acomplish? Maybe "Erase All Contents and Settings" is not what you want to do. We need to know what you are trying to achieve in order to provide you with the best advice as to what you should be selecting....

  • If I "Erase all Content and Settings" will I have to start over in Injustice: Gods Among Us?

    I'm trying to start over on the game Clash of Clans by Erasing all Content and Settings. By doing this, will I delete progress in games such as and especially Injustice?

    You can restore from an iCloud backup. I am not sure whether that backup will include saved settings in a game, though I doubt it.

  • HT4528 If i erase all content and settings will it erase my pictures and videos?

    If i erase all my content and settings will it erase my pictures and videos?

    On your phone - yes.
    If the pictures are in your camera roll, extract them to your PC before doing the reset.  If they were in albums that were synced to your phone they will remain on your PC.
    If the videos were purchased via iTunes then you can just download them again.  If they were your own videos - the same rules apply as your photos.

  • What happens if i erase all content and settings?

    I want to restore my iphone again on itunes, what happens of i erase all content and settings?

    Erasing all content and settings will set your iPhone up just as if you took it out of the box software-wise.  It will go into setup mode - ask you for a WiFi network to join, ask for your Apple ID, set up the telephone, and then ask if you would like to set up as new or restore from a backup.

  • Difference between "restore" and "erase all content and settings"?

    Hello,
    I was wondering what is the difference between "Restore" on itunes and "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?
    Is it the same and if yes why does it take longer to "Erase all content and settings" on iphone?

    The restore only deletes all the data and reinstalls the iPhone Operating System, but someone can still carve out deleted information if they know what they are doing. The erase all content and settings will delete and overwrite everything on the iPhone so it is impossible to even extract any data from the iPhone.
    Personally I've only used the erase all content and settings when I've had to return my iPhone to Apple for technical difficulties or when I've sold an iPhone to someone else. There is no reason to do this method if you are simply reinstalling the Operating System for yourself.

  • If I erase all content and settings on my iPhone 4S, will my text messages be deleted?

    I have way too many pictures, so I just want to erase everything and start over...but I don't want my messages to be erased! If I "Erase All Content and Settings", will my text messages be erased as well?

    "Erase All Content and Settings" will erase everything.
