My iPhone was factory unlocked but

Hello All,
I got my iphone 4 before it was launched in my country India. It was factory unlocked. It was shipped with ios 4.2.1 which was then updated to ios 4.3 then to 4.3.4 followed by 4.3.5 flawlessly and was activated. But now the problem was I got a message that iphone was please restore on the iphone though it was working properly. After I restored I started having problem. The phone was for some reason not getting activated. I have not hacked or cracked. I was just using it like a normal phone using micro sim. Please some one help me out here.

What error are you getting when you connect the phone to iTunes?
Was the computer you are using to update it EVER used to hack ANY iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad? If so, the network hosts file on your computer is corrupted and will have to be repaired. To check open the hosts file (it's location varies depending on your operating system, so I can't tell you specifically where it is) and see if gs.apple.com appears in the file. If it does delete all lines containing this value, then reboot your computer.

HT201412 Iphone 3GS factory unlocked but jailbroken by thieves. How can it be restored to original unlocked status

Iphone 3GS bought factory unlocked in Malaysia. The phone was stolen and jailbroken. I tried to restore after a battery change.iTunes updated system but now it cannot be restored. Pls let me know if Apple can help?

I thought this was an exceptional case. It was originally factory unlocked. Being stolen it underwent the changes and came back to the original owner. Police records are available to confirm.
This solved my question

How do i know that my iphone was factory unlocked or not

i have my iphone 4s with AT&T carrier, EMIE # 012937008631144

ONly the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock the phone.
Did you ask AT&T to unlock your phone and if they did, did you restore it using itunes?

I bought the iphone 4s about a year ago, he was not new. The seller told me that he did the factory unlock, but he lied. Now I live in Russia and want to use the iPhone with a local GSM sim card.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

HT201699 My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

My carrier is Straight Talk (using ATT network) and they require the user to enter the APN settings in order to access their data network. My Iphone 4s is factory unlocked but I can not get to the Cellular Data Network tab to enter the settings?

Yes ATT hides the APN settings so when you try to use a st sim it automatically reads on AT&T network so the APN settings are hidden and cannot be accessed however you can go to apn.straighttalk.com on you'r phone and select APN/data settings then select AT&T then iPhone and a screen will pop up asking if you would like to install the profile for whatever reason it's not verified but works fine. You can also go to www.unlockit.co.nz and set up a straight talk APN profile that is verified not sure exactly what that means but both work to get the data working on the phone for straight talk but it does not make the MMS work. There are a couple other methods I have read about one is on howardforums using ibackupbot to manually change the files on the phone I haven't been able to get mine to stick using that method but other people have and there is a sim swap method to trick the phone to reveal APN settings using a tmobile sim I have not tried this but other people have with success. The last two methods mentioned will make both data and MMS work

IPhone 4 Factory Unlock Approved by AT&T but I need a little help

Today I contacted AT&T to get my wife's iPhone 4 Factory Unlocked (version: 4.3.5 firmware: 04.10.01) and I met all the requirements for getting it unlocked but the Tech Agent from AT&T said that in order for the Factory Unlock to be completed I would have to plug in the phone to iTunes and do a Backup & Restore to complete the process.
I went to do this but before proceeding iTunes said that if I completed the process that the Restore would install iOS 5 on my wife's phone which she would prefer not to do if it were possible.
I have always had a problem with iTunes. Everytime I back it up it seems like I either loose pictures, or movies, or Apps or something and so I am hesitant to even touch iTunes let alone upgrade to iOS 5 on her phone.
I am hoping that someone can teach me how to use iTunes properly or point me to a video series that would explain all the ins and outs of the various versions of iTunes so that I can learn it lock stock and barrel or that someone will help me understand how to complete this factory unlock effectively.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

Thank you ever so much! It worked. iTunes congradulated me on my iPhone being Factory Unlocked! Now it brings me to my next question. My wife wants to use the phone on T Mobile. If she wants to do this do I follow iTunes suggestion to "Set Up as New iPhone" or do I follow the option to "Restore from iTunes Backup"?
I'm guessing that if I Set Up as New iPhone that she will loose all her apps and such. But if that is what is needed so that it will work on other GSM providers then that is what I will do for her.
However if the Backup option will allow her to keep everything she has on the phone and still use it on any GSM network that she would like then I will do that.
I respect your advice and follow it. You have led me right thus far. Thanks a Billion.

HT201412 hello. my phone is factory unlocked. but my iphone support one network only in pakistan. if i insert another network sim it support but cannot make a call or text neither incoming nor outgoing. plz guide me what should i do.

hello. my phone is factory unlocked.
but my iphone support one network (Zong) only in pakistan. if i insert another network sim it support (Catch the signl and show the network name ) but cannot make a call or text neither incoming nor outgoing.
plz guide me what should i do.
ios 7.0.4

There aren't any supported carriers in Pakistan. Apple hasn't released the iPhone there. The OP is using a grey-market iPhone and hence is pretty much on his/her own as regards getting this phone working with the carrier, unless that carrier can help.
Regards.

Iam Anvesh
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.

I just bought an iphone 4s Factory unlocked, i was wondering if the 4g network will work? cause i got unlimited plans with t-mobile. and will Siri work?

I have an unlimited plan for T-mobile and i order the iphone 4s factory unlock like a week ago. But i'm not sure if the 4s will work with the t-mobile 4g network and Siri. Can someone please help me by telling me what's will work with t-mobile and what will not work with the iphone 4s factory unlock. Thanks

well i'm not really asking which is better for travel, i'm just asking over all which phone is better for the plan i have with T-Mobile, but i'm assuming is the Galaxy s2, but the only reason y im not getting that phone is cause that phone is way too big. sigh and i really like the i4s, been using iphone before as well, so i'm kinda use to it. But i see no point of getting the I4s if i the function that came with it to make it fun doesn't work. You get what i mean?? that's y i'm asking cause i don't know anything.

i was using iphone4 in england then in pakistan and now the same set in south korea.....but here the sim is not working.....shopkeepers said that it is not factory unlock. but this set is factory unlocked. kindly inform me what to do now to activate the korean sim here.

To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

My USA purchased iPhone 4S factory unlock is not working in India as it gets no signal bars

Hi,
I got my iPhone 4S from USA, which came with AT&T sim in it. It was sold as factory unlocked but when I inserted Indian sim card in it , there appeared the name of the service provider but no signals.
Can anybody help as what best can be done to resolve this issue.
Please help. !

You do not have an unlocked iPhone 4S. Those have not yet been released in the US, and will never be available from AT&T. You may have an iPhone purchased without a contract, but it is locked to AT&T, who do not unlock iPhones at any time for any reason. Return the iPhone to the place you purchased it and get your money back, since you will not be able to use that iPhone with an Indian carrier. I'd suggest you wait until the iPhone 4S is released in India rather than purchase from another country, since the warranty on the iPhone is valid only in the country of original sale.
Regards.

IPhone 5 factory unlocked, invalid sim

My iPhone 5 was factory unlocked by T-Mobile Austria. I've got an unlocking guidance. I've made it through, but I get Invalid SIM error all the time. I've contacted T-Mobile several times, if they completed my request.Their answer was: AL_PENDING_UNLOCK The imei'01341600574xxx' is pending unlock. Any solutions?

If you did not get the "Congratulations, your iPhone is unlocked" message when you restored iOS, then the unlock is NOT complete. Talk to the carrier again. You may also want to call AppleCare and ask them to check the unlock status in their system via the serial number before hand just so you have some ammunition.
Now... I'm not implying that you have done any such thing, but just for the sake of complete information, if the phone was ever hacked, jailbroken, or otherwise "unlocked" by anyone other than the carrier it was originally locked to, it may no longer be possible for it to process a legitimate unlock.
Is it still able to activate using a T-Mobile Austria SIM? Are you the original owner of the phone?
