  • No SIM card installed insert a valid SIM with no pin lock to activate iphone

    Dear Sir, Recently I noticed that my iphone 3GS is responding very slowly, I thought it got hanged due to the high memory usage so I restarted it but after the restart it showed me iTunes logo & a USB cable. Though the SIM card inside the phone doesn’t have any lock but the message says: No SIM card installed insert a valid SIM with no pin lock to activate iphone. When I connected it to itunes I get this message: iTunes could not connect to the iPhone because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes, there was a passcode on my iphone which can not be unlocked now as after sliding the arrow the only options I get are: emergency calls & info’s  as IMEI: 01 215500 xxxxxx x & ICCID: Unknown. I was suggested to delete the complete programme & get the iTunes reinstalled but I don’t want to lose my data. Can you help me to get my data back? Pls. reply ASAP. Thanks & regards.

    ICCID unknown is a critical failure, usually caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will need to be replaced.

  • I keep getting the message :No SIM card installed   Insert a valid SIM with no PIN lock to activate iPhone - there is a sim in the tray in the phone...how do I fix this?

    I have recently upgraded from the iPhone 3g to an iPhone 4, and I was going to give my 3g to a friend, but it comes up with the message as above, whenever the phone is turned on...
    There is a sim card installed...
    My carrier (virgin) say that they have unlocked the phone from optus.
    How do I fix this?
    thanks
    Anushka

    Virgin use the Optus network here in Australia - which is why, the 3G phones showed you connected to the Optus network, and not to the Virgin network...They don't have their own network, they piggyback on Optus - which is why it would show that it is locked to Optus!
    They also said they would unlock my iPhone 4 - which has been done!  So there's obviously something wrong with the phone...

  • PUK Locked insert SIM with no PIN lock to activate ipad

    please invistage to me this matter

    PUK locks are controlled by wireless carriers. Contact the source of the
    sim to get the PUK or change the sim. Unless the iPad was purchased
    as subsidized and therefore locked to a wireless provider, the iPad
    should not be locked.

  • HT1430 i dont really have knowledge about this its so confusing.it try putting new sim with no pin lock to activate it again but still nothing only itunes on screen

    help

    I'm happy you figured it out and just try to keep in mind that not everyone you talk to at support will give the same advice or have the same knowledge. Just like those who contribute to these forums. Sometimes Google is your best friend.
    I agree that Apple could probably make it easier, but as of yet prefer security over freedom. (sound famaliar?)

  • New Iphone 4 factory unlocked: "No SIM" "Insert Valid SIM with no pin lock"

    Hi, I'm new in the forum.
    I've just bought a new factory unlocked Iphone 4 from a top rated seller in USA, came back to my country, inserted my Sim in the Iphone, and got the message:
    "No Sim" "Insert valid sim with no pin lock to activate Iphone"
    This Sim I was using in my old Iphone and actually in a Blackberry Storm.
    After the message I put it back again in the BB, and it works fine.
    But in the Iphone I get always this message.
    One thing: My SIM is a regular one, and I had to use a tempalte available in the net to cut it into a micro SIM.
    In the BB it keeps on working.
    Any idea?
    Thnak you
    Luis

    I answer your question:  I buy a lot of things from ebay, and I just looked for "an original factory unlocked" one, assuming their are original, just that.
    If I had known I could have bought it CHEAPER directly in Apple, I would have never done it in ebay! (I was told in my country that if you buy in the web, normally you get a discount, sound logic to me.
    On the other hand I saw that this seller sold over 1000 Iphones and I trusted that's all.
    I'm not dealing with phones, I sell art.
    Anyway I still trust what is written there, that they are factory unlocked, and I'll try what you say tomorrow with my carrier: I'll buy a micro sd, and if it still doesn't work, I'll write this seller to see what's going on
    Thanks for your advice
    Luis

  • Insert a valid sim!!

    My iphone now says after being turned on "insert a valid sim with no pin lock to activate iphone" I enter my pin and it goes to emergency calls, please help

    I have the same issue. I can't sync with itunes either and can't use the phone. It gives the option of enterring a pin but then just displays that it needs to be connected to itunes. When I connect to Itunes it says you need to enter a valid pin but the phone give no options. Nothing aywhere about a solution.

  • I just bought an Iphone and I am trying to unlock it but it says I must first insert a valid sim card, how do I get past this screen?

    I am trying to unlock an Iphone that I just bought online.  I have TMobile.  The phone however says that I have to insert a valid sim card (which I don't have yet) in order to unlock the phone.  I can't even get into the settings or the home screen of the phone.  How can I get past this locked screen?  Thanks. 

    How can I get past this locked screen?
    Do what it says and install a SIM card.
    Did you buy an unlocked phone?  If not, then only the carrier to which it is locked to can unlock the phone.

    Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#error29
    Error 20, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29, 34, 36, 37, 40
    These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. Use the steps to troubleshoot security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, these errors may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
    Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See the steps under the heading "Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store." If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

  • IPhone 4  "No SIM card installed"  even though the SIM card is  in there

    Hi,since today I have no mobile phone network on the iPhone. Whenever I start it up it says: No SIM card installed. Although they put in it. I switched the iPhone several times, and took out the SIM card and inside she put back in, but nothing happened there. Does anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks

    Could be a bad SIM card. My son's iPhone 4 started doing the same thing so I took it to a local AT&T store and they replaced the SIM for free. It's worked every since.
