IphoNe stuck on emergency

Hey , my iphone is stuck on the " Emergency Calls Only " after i restored it !! Its putting that i should insert sim without pin, so i re-put my sim in my old nokia to unlock it , and then i put it again in my iphone , its said nothing but **** IT its still locked :( and also iTunes is entering a strange message something like the sim does not support iphone ,  what should i do ?? Plzz help PLZZZ A.S.A.P !! :(

It sounds like you have a phone that was originally carrier locked and had been hacked to allow it to use a different carrier (as opposed to officially unlocked). Doing the restore has re-locked the phone to the original carrier.
ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to figure out what carrier it's locked to and contact them to see if they will unlock it.
Note that if it is locked to AT&T in the US, they will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason. Many carriers who DO offer unlocking will NOT unlock the phone unless you are a current customer of theirs.
Apple does NOT unlock phones for consumers. Only at carrier request.

  • Iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?

    iphone stuck in emergency mode after downgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0?
    Upgraded to 4.0.2 last night. Immediately, itunes would no longer detect my iphone. Decided I had to downgrade back to 4.0 again. Learned I cannot do that easily, so i found a .ipsw file of firmware 4.0 online, and downloaded it. Started up my iphone attached to itunes in restore mode, held down shift, and clicked restore button. Successfully restored the 4.0 file I had downloaded.
    At the first boot, it was stuck in emergency mode. I even tried to restore the default itunes backup after that, it was still stuck in emergency mode.
    Anyone know how i fix this iphone? I have no interest in jailbreaks, i am in a 2 year contract with AT&T.

    omg, it just fixed itself! i installed a brand new itunes on my laptop (which has never had itunes app before)
    plugged in my iphone, it detected it right away and said "activated"! my phone is working again and has its phone number back.
    now i did notice that the 4.0 is indeed slow, so i do want to try going back to 3.1.3 also.

  • IPhone stuck in emergency mode

    Hello,
    I'm Shabnum and I've got a problem with my iPhone, I hope I can get some good advice from users within the Apple community. The problem is that my iPhone is stuck in emergency mode after I restored it. I restored it as I couldn't call anyone, I called Apple customer services and explained everything and they told me that I should restore the iPhone to its factory settings etc. Now, my iPhone has been stuck on the emergency mode and I can't access anything at all. I've made a backup of my iPhone via iTunes, is there any way to restore the iPhone with my backup which I created and is there any way to get out of emergecny mode? I've tried O2, Lebara and Orange sim cards but it won't let me activate my iPhone. It just states on iTunes "The carrier isn't supporter bla bla bla) I've done a lot of research on the problem and I haven't seen a single resolution, I hope that iPhone experts/professionals such as yourself can help provide a resolution.
    iPhone 3G.
    OS: I think it's 3.1.3
    Many thanks.

    It depends: if the phone is under warranty then they will help you unless they discover evidence of the phone being hacked - this will invalidate the warranty and you may be stuck. Non-warranty repairs are possible at a price - best to go and find it. I have no idea how much discretion they have at the store but you had better take every piece of evidence regarding your purchase and maybe they can exercise discretion if the situation turns out not to be straightforward.
    Only Apple can tell you for sure what the situation is. You may be able to recover a backup if they fix you up, but I wouldn't count on it - if it was made from a hacked phone then do not use it.

  • IPhone stuck at emergency call screen!

    Hi everyone!
    My iPhone stuck at the 'emergency call' screen. I restored it and at the end I had to 'activate' the phone... But when I try to activate it (connect to iTunes) iTunes
    gives me a message: ...The Network connection is timed out... Please try again later. But I can open the iTunes Store and download apps and music, and the Network is in order... Anyone knows what to do? Or how to 'activate' the iPhone without iTunes?
    Please Help!

    You can't activate your phone without itunes. The most common reasons for the network timed out error during a restore or software upgrade are firewalls, anti-virus & anti-malware. So, turn off or disable all of that stuff, especially windows firewall & try again.

  • IPhone Stuck on Emergency Mode after Update

    Need help on how to get my orginal iPhone 2G out of Emergency Mode only. Here's my issue and the solutions I've tried but so far none of it fixed my iPhone.
    Problem:
    I have an original iPhone (which I kept from 2007) and it has been working just fine as an iPod (no cell service anymore) since 2008 until I updated the firmware to 3.1.3 two days ago when I synced it with iTunes. After the firmware update, it remained stuck on Emergecy Call mode ony.  I know that the orginal iPhone can only be activated with iTunes, but iTunes doesnt seem to recognize it - not even an info about the device can be seen.  So, I tried to restore it through DFU mode, but even after re-installing the firmware, it remained stuck. I tried it both on my Sony VAIO with Win7 computer and iMac with Lion.
    Solutions I tried:
    1. Took my iPhone to Apple store - and they can't unlock it, they said their iTunes version doesn't support the device anymore.
    2. Took it to AT&T - they can't unlock it either even after putting in a SIM card that's active from one of their phones.
    I'm at a dead end on this somehow. Anyone who can give me a solution to this, I'd appreciate it a lot.
    Just FYI, I'm using iTunes beta (10.5.1.25) on Win 7 and iMac  Lion and non beta iTunes on my Mac Air with the same result.
    Will activating the iPhone back with service through AT&T solve this? This seems like it's the only way out? If I have to resort to that, I'll just have to cancel my service pretty much on the same day after activating it as soon as my phone unlocks. Somehow, I found it odd that Apple couldn't even unlock it. I don't remember reading anywhere that they will stop any kind of hardware support to their products.
    Thanks everyone!!! Hope someone can help me with this.

    It didn't activate after the update, so it is like a new phone. Reboot your computer, then follow the steps here:

  • IPhone 3GS stuck in emergency mode...

    my 7 year old nephew tried to access my iPhone 3GS and I think he entered some wrong passcodes.  Next thing I know, I see the apple logo and then it's stuck in emergency with the picture of the usb going into iTunes.  How can I fix this without doing a factory restore?  It's been a while since I backed up my pictures, etc.

    Thanks for the help.  When I plugged it into my iMac, it just asked if I wanted to restore it to the last time synced which was a few weeks ago.  Didn't exactly unlock my phone.  In any case, I lost a couple weeks of photos which was ok. It also didn't remember my settings for the apps (folders, etc) which was weird. 

  • My iphone 2g was stuck in emergency call. What would I do?

    I have my iphone 2g and i forgot the psscode so i connect it to itunes and then restore it. After restoring it, it was stuck in emergency call screen and it said to connect on itunes. When I connect it to itunes there is a message saying that the sim card is not valid. It was confusing beacause the sim card I inserted is the simcard I'm using. What I gonna Do?

    Is the iPhone locked to a carrier?
    Are you using the correct sim card for that carrier?
    Is the iPhone unlocked, if it is then do you get it unlocked by the carrier it was locked to?
    Was the iPhone Jailbroken?
    Any visible damage to the sim or sim card tray?

    Hi, bit75.  
    Thank you visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like your device may be disabled and can only make emergency calls.  Here is the article that I would recommend going through if this is the case.  
    Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled

  • Iphone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up

    i updated my iphone and when it finished and went to reboot it just stays stuck on the apple symbol it constantly reboots and will never connect to my laptop i dont know what to do if anyone can help please do

    Hi,
    Luca224 & Ingo2711. Thanks for bringing this topic. on 29th Nov. I faced the same problem on my iPhone 3GS 32GB Firmware 3.1.2, iPhone stuck with apple symbol and wont start up. I have tried with 10 Seconds Sleep/wake-up button + home button to reset. But didn't work. Did google about an hour with many blogs. Finally I made a call to 3 iPhone care and spent 30 minutes and explained whatever I have done; iPhone customer care asked me to go to nearby iPhone service center in Sydney. BUT BY LUCK CLICKED ON iTUNE AND GOT THE OPTION FOR ONLINE FORUM FOR APPLE iPHONE. Many many thanks to Ingo2711 who has given the solution link and also thanks to Luca224 , who raised the issue. I feel, this is a common problem with iPhones those who using iPhone 3GS 3.1.2...... but try the link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 and thanks to Luca224 & Ingo2711. PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION CAREFULY:
    1. Verify you have iTunes 7.5 or later. Apple recommends using the latest version of iTunes.
    2. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone or iPod touch, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    3. Power off the device (Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the the iPhone or iPod touch to turn off. _+(in my case - red slider didn't appear, but i pressed the Sleep/Wake button until the iPhone went off, finally it was just off... i was frustrated... tried 3 times with more patience )+_
    4. Press and hold the Home button while reconnecting the USB cable to iPhone. When you reconnect the USB to iPhone, the device should then power on. +_( Do exactly as it says)_+
    Note: If you see the message "Charging... Please Wait" or you see the screen pictured below, let the device charge for at least 10 minutes to ensure the battery has some charge and then start with step 2 again. +_(True ... for me it happened 3 times)_+
    5. Continue holding the Home button while iPhone starts up. While starting up, you will see the Apple logo. +_( I was nearly frustrated at my 3rd attempet; my thumb was hurting as I was holding the home button for few minutes..... but finally it worked yahooooooooooooooooo...... suddenly changed my decision.... about going to 3/Apple service center)_+
    6. When you see "Connect to iTunes" on the screen, you can release the Home button and iTunes will display the recovery mode message:
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, then disconnect the USB cable from iPhone and repeat steps 3-6.
    Because you must restore iPhone or iPod touch, iTunes will not recover data from the device, but if it was previously synced on the same computer and the same user account, it should restore a backup (if available). See document HT1414, "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software."
    If you are still unable to restore the iPhone using this method, check Apple support for further troubleshooting and/or service options.
    Note: If you sync both an iPhone and an iPod touch to the same computer, make sure you select the correct backup to restore your settings from (don't select an iPhone backup if you have an iPod touch and don't select an iPod touch backup if you have an iPhone).
    **** ( BACKUP FROM YOUR iTUNES : MAC/PC; AS I GOT MY 95% DATA FROM THERE.... GOOD LUCK)******* IF IT WORKS PLEASE POST YOUR EXPERIENCE....*
    THANKS
