Unlocking iPhone without iTunes

How do I unlock an iPhone without having access to iTunes?
I am travelling and have inserted my new sim but have to delete my phone and restore from iTunes. As I am away from my laptop I am unable to synch.
Grateful for any advice. Thanks

Please read the earlier responses. It cannot be done. You have to restore the phone via iTunes after the carrier has authorized the unlock.

    it is possible to unlock iphone without connecting itunes?????

    You cannot unlock from the carrier yourself...only the carrier can process and send the unlock...and you MUST use iTunes to process and implement the unlock.
    If your iPhone is disabled for another reason, you need to follow the article above, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.

  • Moving to a new iPhone without iTunes

    My friend just bought a new iPhone. He had been syncing it for awhile to his old PC, which is now just dead in the water. He got a new iPhone and wants to move his data (contacts etc) to the new iPhone, without iTunes.
    He doesn't have an iCloud account yet, so I *think* he can just make an iCloud account on his old iPhone, turn on syncing, then go to the new iPhone and do the same.
    If not, then I have a Mac with iTunes. I can make a new user account for him, and then plug in the iPhone and I *think* backup the iPhone to iTunes.
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    You cannot get back all content, but you can get some. See this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 combined with this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2109

  • HT4113 how do i reset my iPhone without iTunes?

    i would like to know how can i enable my iphone without itunes.

    A reset has nothing to do with iTunes.
    What is meant by "enable" the iPhone?
    If it is locked with a passcode and the passcode is unknown or forgotten, the only way to get the device functional is a restore via iTunes on a computer.

  • I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iPhone without iTunes an now i don't wad then it turned itf off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my phone on again

    I jailbreaked my iPhone 5 and now i don't want the jailbreak any more so i restored the iphone without iTunes and then it turned it self off and now its stuck on the black screen with the loading sign. So please how can i turn my iPhone on again?

    I figured it out by pressing the home button and the off button but when i turn my phone on again it's not restored. And when i try to restore it with iTunes it has to update but i can't update my phone because it's jailbreaked but if i can't update it, it won't restore the phone.

  • Restoring an Iphone without Itunes

    Can you restore an Iphone without Itunes? Or is there another way to restore it without wiping out another IPod's music library on Itunes?

    You can erase all content and settings on an iPhone without iTunes, but you can't restore an iPhone without iTunes.
    Regardless what you do with an iPhone, no iTunes content in your iTunes library is ever erased.

  • Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    Phone is seriously frozen, Can You Reset or Restore iPhone without iTunes?

    I recently had a similar problem, turn the phone off, once off, hold down the home button, until you see a icon of a white usb wire with the words, connect to iTunes.
    connect the phone to a usb port on your computer, iTunes will boot up, and the restore process will begin, make certain you are connected to the internet, since, once the process is completed, the phone will require activation, as well as need to download the restore software....

  • Get photos on iPhone without iTunes optimizing them?

    Is there any way to put photos on the iPhone without iTunes optimizing them and shrinking them down?

    I would like to see this feature implemented as well. It seems well with in the capabilities of the hardware, just a matter of updating iTunes with better syncing options for photo galleries, possible the iPhone OS as well, but i don't see why as the photo App does have the capacity to browse larger resolution images that have been downloaded of the net.
    Please submit an official feedback form and let's see this featured rolled out sooner than later:

  • How to activate my factory unlocked iPhone without connecting to iTunes.

    My brother just bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4 because he is moving to Italy for 3 years and he just got out there got a GSM Microsim from WIND a local carrier and after entering the sim pin it keeps saying unable to activate. He is on a wifi network as it says for him to be yet it still isn't working. I know if he plugged it in to iTunes it would work but he left his MacBook pro here in the states until he needs it in January. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

    If it's running iOS 5 it should be able to activate without the need to plug it in to iTunes. There may be an issue with the WiFi network he's on at the moment. Assuming he has a data plan, he should be able to activate it over 3G, I believe. Early on after iOS 5 was released, there were a number of reports in the US that people on AT&T were not able to activate their phones after updating over the Internet (WiFi) but WERE able to activate them while connected to the AT&T 3G network.
    If he can't do it over 3G, have him try another WiFi network. Without knowing the details of the network he's using, it's hard to offer advice. Hotels and public hotspots may not be the best place to try it as they rarely (in my experience) have things configured and working well. It may well be that the network he's on wants him to authinticate and agree to their terms (usually done in the browser) before it will allow an outside connection. That's not going to work well when he's trying to activate the phone.

  • How to unlock iphone without simcard by itunes

    HI friends,
    I would like to know how to unlock iphone4s without a simcard in it..

    Unlock from wireless provider? Only the wireless provider to which an iPhone
    is locked can unlock it. Contact them to see if they offer unlocking and if you
    qualify.
    Or unlock because you forgot password?
    Forgotten passcode or disabled because entered incorrect passcode too many times:

  • Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone without itunes or an internet connection?

    Is possible to transfer photos from a macbook pro to an iphone 5 without itunes or an internet connection? I'm a pro photographer and I need to transfer photos from my camera, edit them, copy photos to my iphone and send via 4G network to an editor. I will be in a location without internet access and my old computer itunes wont sync with my new iphone 5. I can't upgrade the computer right now because I need some of the old software.  Thanks.

  • Use unlocked iPhone without a SIM card.

    Hey. Yesterday, I bought an unlocked iPhone and when I wanted to use it for the first time, it didnt let me because it hasnt a SIM card inside. Is it normal on unlocked iPhones? I was expecting to use it without a SIM card until I get back home.

    Thank you so much Lawrence. I was visiting USA and my fear was that they didnt gave me an unlocked iPhone and cant use it when I get back home (in South America). So, I can get a local SIM from a local carrier to activate the iPhone and then, when I'm in my country, change it for a SIM that I use in my country and will work correctly, right?

  • How can I active my unlock iphone on itunes

    I did the IOS 6.1 on my unlock iphone and after it finished it told me to connect it to itunes i did. But then it told me i had to restore it , & it was on recovery mode for 2 hours. After it finished , i had to active my phone, but i dont know how, because my iphone was verizon at first and then i had unlocked it to TMOBILE. I tried to do it by itunes , but it doesnt let me .

    Yes, and I don't believe an unlock hack/jailbreak is currently available for 6.1 so you will have to wait.
    P.S. If you are in the US that hack/jailbreak to unlock it is now illegal.
