SIM locked after upgrade

I upgrded to an iPhone today. Got it home. Got it working almost perfectly after a little bit of work. iTunes then prompted me to "upgrade" the iPhone's softare, so I said yes. After the update the phone rebooted and said the SIM was locked. Should I have gotten an unlock code when I bought the phone? I'm on t-mobile in Germany.

In Germany, the iPhone is carrier locked to T-Mobile.

  • Can't turn off Rotation Lock after upgrade to iOS 8

    After upgrading iPad to iOS 8, the device is locked in portrait mode. I assume this is what "Rotation Lock" means. In Settings, Rotation Lock is checked and cannot be changed. I don't have this problem with my iPod Touch. What is the fix?
    Thanks in advance.

    WIth IOS8, I believe it was because I had turned the physical knob to MUTE on the iPad. For some reason, the two are connected. Turn mute off and it should work.
    They are not connected.
    Mute and rotation lock are independent.  However, as I said above, they can be controlled by the same side switch, but it depends on what said switch is set to in Settings->General->Use Side Switch For.

    Whatever is not checked there will appear in control center.
    The checked option will be controlled by the side Switch above the volume control buttons.
    Of course this only applies to iPads up to the iPad Air. Since the iPad Air 2 did away with the side switch, everything is controlled via the control center on the iPad 2.

  • IPhone 3G locked after upgrading the software..Plz help

    I have upgraded the iPhone 3G through iTunes. But it restored my phone after upgrading. Now its asking for activating the phone. A USB connector and iTunes icon is displaying on iphone screen. I am using an airtel SIM. The iTunes is displaying a message that SIM card inserted is NOT supported, use a compatible SIM card.
    Before that everything was working fine. This carp happened after upgradation.
    does anybody have a solution to this??
    plz help

    Sounds like you had a jailbroken/unlocked iPhone. Airtel is one of the authorized carriers in India, so if you bought the phone from them, contact their tech support. If you got the iPhone from somewhere else, contact the seller for help - upgrading/restoring removes the jailbreak, so you've got a paperweight now.

  • 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. 

  • Iphone4 locked after upgrade (version 4.3.5)

    My Iphone4 locked twice after upgrading the operating system. The problem is the 4.3.5 update? It simply locks the unlock screen. Please, someone is also going through this?

    Unfortunately there is no way to downgrade. This sounds like something with the software is acting funky. Try finding the .IPSW file on your computer and delete it. It will then download a new version of the .IPSW software and hopefully help you out. If that does not work, I would suggest restoring from a different computer or taking it to a local apple store where they can run diagmostics on it and try to help you out. You could walk out with a new device if they feel as though the software is what's causing your phone to malfunction.

  • My phone doesn't notify of texts/iMessages when it's locked after upgrade. Any thoughts?

    After upgrading to iOS 7 on my 4s, my phone won't alert or light up on lock screen to incoming iMessage or texts. Facebook and others still work . All my settings are correct so I'm not sure. It'll alert if my phone is unlocked but not locked. Obnoxious ya know?

    If it's documented as to what the problem was, that required your iPad to be replaced (which it would be on the trouble ticket), then simply take it back to the store where it was replaced and show them that the identical thing is happening.

  • IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

    Guys I really need your advice please...
    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
    By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

    Thanks Chris for your solution.
    But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
    The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS.  Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes.  You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
    Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it.  Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

  • IPhone 4 locked after upgrade to iOS 5.0.1

    I've bought an IPhone 4 in Canada at Apple Store last september with IOS 4.3.3 to use in Brasil.
    Everything was just fine, but yesterday I upgrade it to the latest IOS with ITunes and the IPhone don't regonize my sim card anymore.
    The support in Brasil says that I need to look for a service in Canada.
    Please, could anyone help me?
    Thanks, Bernardo.

    "Invalid SIM" messages almost always indicate that the phone is locked to a different carrier. If you believe that you purchased an unlocked iPhone - and not that there is a difference between "without contract" and "unlocked/SIM free", and note as well that only a genuine Apple Store could sell an unlocked iPhone; a unit frm any other dealer would be locked - you'll need to talk to the Apple Store in Vancouver. You will not be able to get support for a Canadian iPhone in Brasil.
    Regards.

  • My SIM locked after an update

    My SIM card for my iPhone 5 locked up after an update just a few minutes ago. Apparently, the right code (which I've used for years) was wrong. Now, I've got to enter the PUK code. What the heck happened?

    Yes I know I have to do that, but why should that happen in the first place!

  • Says my library.itl file is locked after upgrade?

    hi there.. i am hoping someone can help me, i had to format comp due to virus, so i reinstalled windows (xp home) and installed itunes from the original ipod disk, all went well, imported all my music back into the library and so far so good.. i then upgrade itunes by following prompts set in the program... installs fine, so no prob with mcafee firewall or virus protection, but when i try to open itunes after install i get a message saying:
    the itunes music library.itl file is locked, on a locked disk or you do not have write permission for this file.
    please help me!! i have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes no prob, in itunes 4. something it all works fine, but as soon as i upgrade i am locked out.
    thanks in advance!! i would be much appreciative of any tips to help figure this prob out...
    pentium4   Windows XP  

    Your libary.itl probably got locked by McAfee and never got saved properly during the virus incident/debacle.
    - Stop itunes
    - Delete C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    -Start iTunes
    You are totally going to lose all your ratings and other great stuff from your previous iTunes, but I don't know what else would fix it.
    When you restart iTunes, it will rebuild your ITL file, since you deleted it.
    What are the iTunes library files?

  • Iphone locked after upgrade

    Hi, I'm from Mongolia. I've bought an Iphone 4 recently. When I bought it, it was already unlocked with Gemey SIM. It was working fine until I upgraded it to iOS 6.1.3 with BB 04.12.05. Now it's locked. What can I do? I'm really lost here. Please help me

    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.
