My factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?

"factory unlocked Iphone 4 got locked after 4.3.2 update, How do I unlock it?"
Do I have to use the apple's fast lane to resolve the issue or is it something that can be resolved quickly using the ITunes or combination of power and home key please advice...

From where did you purchase the iPhone? Are you certain it really was factory unlocked? I can't say that an iOS update couldn't inadvertently lock an iPhone, but more commonly it would happen with a jailbroken iPhone. If by "from Irvine" you mean Irvine, California, then you don't have a factory-unlocked iPhone unless you purchased it from another country, as there are no unlocked iPhones sold through any authorized reseller in the US.
Regards.

My UNlocked Iphone got LOCKED after reset..!?

Hello there, did that happened to anybody else?
I got an Iphone5C last year from a Apple-Store in London.. UNLOCKED... so I payed the full price.
Was using the phone always with a prepaid O2 card.. was always working.. when I was in Germany I used my German SIM and it worked perfectly.
Recently I moved to Singapore... And I have a Singapore SIM card.. worked perfectly.. until today...
I had to reset the phone.. and just wanted to have it fresh... I did everything I always did on my iphone 3, iphone 4, and iphone5...
but suddenly it looks like the phone got LOCKED with my O2 carrierer!
When I was re-installing the phone he asked me to put in the SIM card... I had my Singapore SIM card in there (that already for 4-6 weeks was working) but I got the message that the SIM was invalid.. so i did put in my UK card... and he activated the phone.. fine right? not really... because as soon as I put the SIngapore SIM in there he ask me again for Iphone Activation... and telling me that the SIM is not valid and to contact my carrier for unlock.
I called apple.. they told me they can see in there System that I purchased the phone UNLOCKED.. and that I LOCKED the phone while I was resetting it (can sombody explain me how that is even possible?)..
So I contacted O2 now and they told me.. yes they can unblock it.. but for 15pounds! And I have to waut at least 2 weeks...
so,.. what did I do wrong ???
Cheers,
Giorgio

I have to check if I have still the receipt.. but like I wrote before... it was working.. so I do not think that I got a locked phone from Covent garden.
And... I do not care about the 15Pounds.. but it is about the concept... I payed for the phone to be unlocked... And apparently there is nothing strange about it that it got locked by mistake.. because the lady on the apple hotline was not surprised at all.She just told me "Looks like you locked the phone to the carrier while you where resetting the phone BECAUSE you had your O2 card in there" ... !???
I am still waiting for feedback from O2 and see what they say.

My legitimately unlocked iPhone got locked again.

Hi,
I got my iPhone unlocked legitimately from AT&T after paying all the dues. After an year of use, it seems to have got locked again since it is not longer latching onto the network. I am not sure how it happened but I am guessing it may have happened due to some factory reset operation. I did backup and restore but it is not helping. What can I do now to get it unlocked and working again?

Contact AT&T.

Unlocked iPhone became locked after upgrade to iOS6 - what should I do?

I bought an unlocked iPhone at the Montreal Apple store two years ago whie I was on student exchange there.
Since about a year ago I've been using it in Israel with Israeli carrier. Didn't need to jailbreak it or anything, since it was bought unlocked.
However, after upgrade to iOS6 this morning, it became locked and I can't use it again.
Any ideas what to do? Did this happen to anyone else?

You need to contact the Apple retail store in Montreal where the iPhone was purchased.
If you still have the receipt, the receipt should indicate unlocked.

Iphone 4 locked after failed latest software update

iphone 4 locked up after a failed latest software update
now it is not showing up or recognized by itunes.
Any suggestions. or is it the crap apple software?
Thanks - robert

As for the problem and help, I just stopped by AT&T and they took care of it.
As for my disparaging remarks, it is the way I feel and felt like voicing it at the moment. As I recall this is still a free country (Obama thankfully has not been able to screw everything up) and I personally have never liked apple products or software. That’s my personal opinion, it is crap. This particular phone is supplied by corporate and I will get a different phone as soon as request is approved. MS software has always been much better than apple products in my experience and at a much better price.
Best Regards,
Robert

Apple iPhone 4S locked after Upgrade to iOS 7: How can i fix this?

My Sister got an iPhone with iOS 6 and wanted to upgrade it to iOS 7. We tried it via iTunes through the USB cable but something went wrong. I think iOS 7 downloaded correctly but, When the phone started up it had the message on the screen and the same one popped up in iTunes:
My sister had lost her old apple ID's password, so she had made a new one to use for iMessage and downloads from the App Store. The old one is still linked to the phone. We took it to our carrier's store and the IT guys said there was nothing they could do...
My point is this phone is brand new and the only thing wrong with it is the fact that it's locked. Is there at least a part in the iPhone we could change or something to get it back? or a factory reset?
Anything helps!

You have encountered the anti-theft Activation Lock. You must enter the required information which is the "old" Apple ID. You will have to try and recover the password here:
https://appleid.apple.com
If unable to do so, try to contact Apple Support:

Click "Other Apple ID Topics". If you are unable to enter the information, you iPhone is a brick.

My iphone 3g got locked after updating

my iphone 3g got locked after updating the software and showing usb cable and itunes symbols

That means your iPhone was hacked to be unlocked for use with any carrier's SIM card, which is not supported by Apple directly or indirectly via these discussions.
Installing a firmware update on a hacked iPhone or restoring a hacked iPhone with iTunes relocks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new.

IPhone 4S Locked after 1 year

Hi,
I buy an iPhone 4S Neverlock and after 1 year is locked on softbank japan. Why ? i buy it never locked ?

There are no officially unlocked iPhones sold in Japan & none of the Japanese carriers offer official unlocking for iPhones. Thus, there is no way to get any Japanese iPhone officially unlocked. Your phone was hacked to unlock it, & when you updated or restored it, it was re-locked to Softbank.
You purchased a hacked iPhone. It is what it is.

You will need the original owner of the iPhone to unlock it for you, or the iPhone will remain useless. It has been Activation Locked, which is described here:

Try connecting it to your computer and restoring it by going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking on Restore (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414). If that doesn't work you'll have to put it into recovery mode and restore it, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
