If I upgrade a factory unlocked iphone do I lose the unlock?

I got a factory unlocked iphone with a 4.3.3 firmware. If I wanna upgrade to 5.0.1 will I lose the unlock (carrier)?

No problem, if either jk_baller23 or myself helped in any way please consider crediting either (or both) of our responses. Thanks

If it's a genuine factory unlocked phone from Apple you should have no problems. I have had two, a 3GS and now a 4S, and they update and handle just like the locked phones. If it has been hacked in any way, though, all bets are off.

If i have an unlocked iphone 5 can i upgrade it to an iphone 5s and pay the difference ?

Then, you own the phone. Your only options are sell the phone yourself or see what programs are offered by third-parties or your carrier.

Hey - if I restore my iPhone will I lose the music I've purchased from it?

A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
"With iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.1"

Is there any problem in upgrading my factory unlocked iphone 4 to ios 5...I have found there is problem in sim card verification

i have factory unlocked iphone4 ios 4.3.3 current..I want to upgrade to ios 5 but i have read some forums that there is problem for unofficial carriers
any suggestions please

Hey I had that issue when I tried upgrading my phone. After I got to the sim card verification page it said that your sim is not valid please insert a valid sim card. I took it to the Apple Store, where they were able to determine that because I had previously received a replacement phone, the Serial Number was not entered correctly and my phone was actually locked to a different network than mine. They replace the phone and sim card, locking it to my network in store and then I upgraded to iOS 5 right in store. This time it went smoothly and only took about 10 mins.
Hope this helps!!

Can't connect to iTunes after ios6 upgrade on factory unlocked 4S

Upgraded to ios6 on my factory unlocked 4S while connected to iTunes. It did the update perfectly also on the phone, but now when I connect to my iTunes it just keeps rebooting the phone. Any solutions? Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Resetting all settings doesn't help. I had to turn off wifi sync to keep it from rebooting constantly even when not connected.

I restore and upgrade my Second Hand iPhone 4s and unfortunately the Find My iphone is ON. Is there a way to Activate it since I cannot contact the previous owner?

I bought an Ipad 4 for my wife and iPad Air 2 for my daughter and I have just bought a Macbook Pro with retina display for me. The whole family is an Apple products fan due to its reliability and security. Never know that it could be a disadvantage also. I bought a second hand iPhone 4s from a friend as he is short in caash, and I've been using it for awhile. I "restore and upgrade it" without thinking or checking the Find my iPhone settings, unfortuately it is turned ON. Although the previous owner removed the phone lock, I never asked for his icloud account as I intend to use the phone only for calling. I cannot contact him as his contacts and email address were erased when I restore the iPhone.
I have learned a hard lesson since Apple security is impregnable, my iPhone 4S will just be an expensive paper weight.

no.
without the previous owners credentials the phone is useless to you.

How can i turn on my iphone if i lose the iphone ??

help me

You cannot remotely turn on the iPhone. That is not a feature of the phone. There's no way to do that

Edit a Contact in iPhone Sync Then lose the new data

Sync - What does it mean in regards to the iPhone?
I've edit some contacts in my iPhone then sync. After I check the iphone and the newly edited contacts are exactly what was in Entourage. I went back to redit them, change the date and still get the same results.
Please help....

One thing that might help out.
If you create a new contact on the iphone, does it sync into ical or entourage.
If not, try resetting sync history using isync in your programs folder. (Sync history is in the isync preferences.)
Then try syncing again.
Here is an article from the apple support website that might help out.

Every time I sync my iPhone 4 I lose the password to my GFs wifi network.

then i have to retype it next time i want to use it. I already changed the security for it to WEP. How do I fix this? It's giving me the sh*ts
thanks,
zac

Check the router settings to see if it is hiding the SSID, that can cause this. If this is the case, you can un-hide the SSID since hiding it is really doesn't accomplish much (e.g. there are free apps that show hidden networks). Also, you might consider using WPA2 rather than WEP, it is much stronger encryption than WEP.

okay, but just to be safe, how can we be sure that our phone is fatory unlocked? because my cousin apparently had a factory unlocked iphone 3g and updated it iOS 6.1.3 and it got locked
Your cousins phone was therefore not, in fact, factory unlocked. An iPhone sold directly by Apple as unlocked will never lock because of an iOS update.
An iPhone unlocked by going through proper procedures and channels with the carrier to whom it was originally locked will never lock again because of an iOS update.
An iPhone hacked to unlock it (which is unlocked by ANY other means then the first two) will lock again whenever iOS is updated.
If I had to guess, I would say 90% of privately sold iPhones sold as "unlocked" are in fact merely hacked to unlock them, and WILL relock when updated.
Some iPhones sold in Europe are also sold as "SIM free" and contract free, but do in fact lock to the carrier of the first SIM inserted in them. No contract, or "SIM free" does not mean unlocked.

Upgrading to 4.2 iphone and ipad error "network connection timed out"

When trying to upgrade both ipad and iphone to 4.2 the download runs then stops with error message "network connection timed out" and says try again later. I have downloaded movies that take over an hour so I know it is not just time. I have trying turning off firewall and virus as well as empting cache and still no results. really believe it has something to do with windows 7 settings. any ideas?

I was having the same problem and after several weeks of technical support they basically gave-up and suggested I try installing Kaspersky KIS 2012 (not yet released, but available on their ftp download site as a "current version").
Anyway, I installed it and now I can update my iOS on my iPhone and iPad. Voilla! However, Kaspersky claim that this is not a common problem. Yeah, right!
If you want to upgrade to KIS v12 (2012) or KAV v12 (2012), then here is how:
1) Download v12 (2012) from the ftp site here:
ftp://ftp2.kasperskyftp.com/consumer-products/Current_Versions/KIS2012/
2) Disconnect from Internet (doh!)
3) Stop Kaspersky (right click on the "K" in the tool tray and select "Exit")
4) Uninstall Kaspersky from the Control Panel (Programs / Add-Delete Programs)
5) Reboot after uninstalling old version
6) After rebooting, install KIS/KAV v12 (2012)
7) When it prompts for install key, re-connect to the Internet and enter the key code (usually on the back of the envelope the original installation disk is in). The key code for earlier versions should work (at least it did for code with KIS 2010, two versions earlier).
8) Reboot when done
Finally, if this works for you (or anyone else), please post here, since Kaspersky seems to think it is very rare case that it worked for me... ha!

Well, just have the iPhone turned off and connected to the computer, and then hold the home screen button with itunes open for 10 seconds. It will recognize it, and you can just hit restore.

Sorry, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, thus there is no official way to do so. Your phone was re-locked to the carrier it was originally locked to because you hacked it to unlock it. Apple's servers detected such & re-locked your phone. You need to contact the carrier your phone is locked to if you want to get it officially unlocked.

Factory Unlocked iPhone 3Gs upgraded to 4.2.1 no longer working with SIMs

I think this is an ios 4.2.1 glitch.
I purchased a facotry unlocked iPhone when I was in Jordan because I travel a great deal for work and needed a phone that I could use with many SIM cards. When I set it up the first time, and several times after that when I upgraded the ios iTunes would connect to Apple and welcome me to my apple unlocked phone. For more than a year I have been able to use it will all of my SIM cards.
The last time I upgraded to ios 4.2.1 iTunes did not connect to Apple to confirm my unlocked phone. Additionally my phone will only become activated when I install my Iraqna SIM chip. It won't work with any other SIM.
I have a No Service message on my phone and while it lists all of the SIM information - when I go to General - About - Network I get a message saying 'phone not allowed' for every SIM except my Iraqna.
I tried to restore my phone to the previous ios but couldn't because of the upgraded firmware.
I tried to restore my phone and set it up and a new phone.
I am traveling at the moment and cannot afford to use my hotel phone to be put on hold while waiting to speak to a service representative. I depend on my phone and have been resisting buying a cheap Nokia or an expensive Smartphone to replace my very loved iPhone 3gs.
I also really don't want to have to illegally break into my factory unlocked phone just so that I can use it as a phone.
Please Help.

Hi sn4p2k.
I take it that you have not heard of this problem and therefore don't have an answer.
I am not living in America at the moment.
Apple most definitely provides factory unlocked phones outside of America. I paid $1000 for this one from an Apple authorized reseller in Amman and it worked perfectly with Apple and iTunes through several ios upgrades for more than a year.
My phone is not tied to a carrier - that is what factory unlocked means.
I upgraded my ios and now I can't use my phone.
If anyone out there has had this problem and has a suggestion or a solution I would be very grateful if you could tell me what it is.
Thank you.
