HT4759 iphone 4s said no service after factory unlocked

help help i factory unlocked iphone 4s and does nor pick up servise said no service all the time

The message subject says it is a Verizon phone. Which suddenly rang a bell. Verizon screwed up big time with faulty updates to Apple's Activation Database last month that affect the iPhone 4 and 4S. Apple and Verizon are working at undoing the damage, but currently they are only fixing it for people who call. So it would be a good idea to call Apple, and ask (nicely) to be escalated to senior engineering, who are the only ones who can fix it. If the problem is unrelated to jailbreaking, that is. If the phone was ever jailbroken deggie already posted how it might be possible to fix that.

  • Iphone keeps dipslaying no service after i updated it to ios5

    iphone keeps dipslaying no service after i updated it to ios5

    I may have found a solution! First, if you are having these problems, check the build of your iOS version. Go to Settings>General>About>Version. This should read 5.0.1 (9A405).
    Upon closer inspection of search engines, I came accross a website titled "What is the difference between iOS 5.0.1 build 9A405 and 9A406?". As it transpires, there's a great deal of difference, for us 4S users anyway.
    Here's the website (I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting a link. Please let me know if I am!):
    http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/971716
    The difference between these builds seems to be a fix for a problem in the iPhone 4S not recognising SIM cards. Apple's own knowledge base article states the following;
    "In certain situations, iPhone 4S may have difficulty recognizing a micro-SIM card, resulting in the following behaviors:
    "Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
    Status bar displays "No Service" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage."
    Apparently, because this is a small fix for a small number of users, the fix has not been released as iOS 5.0.2. Therefore, people who updated to 5.0.1 early, such as myself, can't simply update by checking on iTunes or Software Update. In order to receive this newer build we have to restore the phone to factory settings, confirm the build has been updated to 9A406, then restore from a backup.
    I haven't attempted this yet as it may take some time, and I don't have enough until later in the week, but it anyone else tries this beforehand and finds it works, please let us know!

    I wouldn't even take a chance at getting it serviced in the US.
    If you did happen to find a store willing to service it under warranty, they would most likely replace the device. That means you would end up with a US iPhone locked to AT&T.
    Do you really want to run that risk?
    Take the device to the country of origin and have it serviced there.

  • Iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

  • Are unlocked iphones sold in the apple store factory unlocked?

    Phones do not re-lock unless they were previously hacked so that could be unlocked.  Sounds like yours was NOT factory unlocked.

    i have recently bought an iphone 5S
    i gave it for factory unlock but i have given the wrong operator name (instead of TELCEL i gave At&t)
    will i get my refund back please let me know please
    Thank you

    Who did you give it to for the unlock?
    The only one that can legally unlock it is the carrier holding the lock.
    Anything else will lead to someone illegally jailbreaking yopur iPhone so that Apple will no longer support it inany fashsion.

  • No Service with factory unlocked iPhone 4S

    I bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4S in Canada – it worked perfectly with the different Canadian carriers (Rogers and Telus).
    I moved to Denmark to study and have recieved a SIM card from Oister (uses 3's network).
    When I put the SIM card in it recognizes the SIM card and asks for a PIN code, which I enter. After that I get a carrier update. However after that it sits on Searching... for a bit before going to No Service. A look in the "About" section shows "3" as the operator however under Network it says "SIM not provisioned".
    I've tried to do a simple restore and update to 6.1.3 with no success. I've even done a DFU restore with no success.
    The strange thing is that I'm not getting any "Your iPhone has been unlocked screen" or anything like that when using iTunes. For example, I restore my iPhone, then the activation screen comes on the iPhone, I go through the whole process and get to the homescreen after which iTunes asks me if I want to restore my iPhone from an old backup. No errors or messages telling me my phone is unlocked/not unlocked.
    I know the phone is unlocked for sure, I even gave Apple a call and they checked and their systems indicate that my phone is unlocked.
    Any ideas?

    Iit sounds like your account is not properly provisioned by your carrier. Contact them and have them check the provisioning on the account.

  • TS4036 iPhone 4S shows no service after setup from iCloud

    New iPhone 4s is showing no service after backup from iCloud. I reset twice . Shows all apps but no phone service.

    Hi kasun222,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you've tried a lot of good troubleshooting steps. The troubleshooting article below recommends contacting your carrier if the you still see a "no service" message after trying all the troubleshooting steps.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting No Service
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4429
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Remove the SIM card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
    Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About while connected to a Wi-Fi network. If an update is available, a prompt should appear soon. If Wi-Fi is not available, connect your device to iTunes.
    Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
    Restore the iPhone.
    If you're still experiencing No Service issues, contact your carrier to check for any network or account issues that could cause this issue.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

  • Why can't I access my apn settings after factory unlock

    I got my iPhone 3GS from a friend and got a factory unlock. I still can't access my apn settings. The carrier on the phone was AT&T . I flipped it to straighttalk my sim is fine it works in my wife's phone it came up as home. Now my settings general about network not available . Now I have no service, searching. Can someone help me

    As I put it in the wrong spot. I cannot access my apn and mms settings. Only thing I get in settings is general. I hooked it to iTunes and it said your iPhone is successfully unlocked.  I can't get any settings to put apn or any carrier settings.

  • My iPhone4 back scrren is cracked. I have purchasded it from US and using it in India after factory unlock. How can I get it done and how much it would cost me.

    My IPhone4 back screen is damaged. I have puchsed it from US and using in India after factory restore.
    How can I get it repaired and how much it would cost me for original part to to be replaced.

    To have Apple repair the phone, you would need to send it to someone you know in the US to have him or her bring it to Apple for repair.  The iPhone warranty is NOT international.  In addition, Apple doesn't sell parts.

  • IPhone says searching for service after ios 7.1.1 update! HELP!

    I updated my iPhone 5c to the iOS 7.1.1 last night and didn't think I would have any problems. I went to bed and woke up this morning with my phone in the top left corner saying "Searching..." and the the wifi symbol.
    I went to check my setting to see if my data was off, but when I went into the settings app and clicked the tab labed "Celluar" the app crashed and took me back to the home screen. It does this everytime I try and go into that tab! So, I have no idea what it going on with my phone! I can't make calls, send texts through my phone number (I can still send iMessages when connected to wifi), the screen glitches and moves when I go into apps, the battery life is now terrible and drains really fast. Everything about my phone was perfectly fine until I updated it to the iOS 7.1.1, so I believe something must have went wrong when it was updating.
    Overall these are my main problems:
    -iPhone is "Searching" for phone service (which means I have no service so no calls or texts can be sent or recieved)
    -Cellular tab in settings crashes
    -Battery drains over 2x faster than normal
    -Screen seems to glitch or move when I open apps

    Hi SamSam1103,
    If you are having multiple issues with your iPhone after a recent update, your best course of action may be to back up your content to iTunes, restore the phone to factory settings, then test to see if the issues persist in its default config before bringing back your content from the backup. You may find the following articles helpful:
