Update to 5.0.1 has locked my officially unlocked phone.

I purchased my ipone 4 from India and it was unlocked and I am using in Finland with Sonera carrier.After update it says insert sim without pinlock, it gives screens to enter/reneter new pin code but its not helping. My father have same device and it upgraded to 5.0.0 a week back and it didn't happen to him. We bought it from same place so I am sure it was officially unlocked phone.

  • I paid 700$ for officially unlocked phone, but it's LOCKED !!

    Hello,
    I have a problem unlocking my I phone 3GS
    I bought my I phone From Mobily Saudi Arabia for 700$ (official carrier)
    It was officially unlocked to all networks and working fine till 3G Network reception failed after few weeks, I visited Mobily center and they replaced it with a new I phone
    Now my phone is locked for Mobily sim cards only !
    I paid 700$ for a phone that is supposed to work on all networks as advertised on apple’s website and mobily sale’s center .. but IT’S LOCKED !!!!
    I went to Mobily many times they say there is a problem in entering serial numbers for replacement phones to apple server, they informed apple about it and they can’t do anything about it right now till apple solve the problem
    And my phone will get unlocked eventually after weeks or months who knows ?? (it's been 3 weeks now)
    I’m tired of the lies ! the waiting ! I hate apple and I hate mobily ! and I don’t like the I phone anymore
    I want for the I phone I paid 700$ for to work as it’s supposed to “ ON EVERY SIM CARD”

    Best speak to Mobily then as its nothing to do with Apple. This is a technical support forum and Apple do not visit these forums.
    If it was officially unlocked, and then replaced, you should have asked for an unlocked replacement.Where does it say on Apples website that all phones work on all networks ?
    Sounds like you have a problem with Mobily - rather than anyone here. Talk to them as nobody here can help you.

  • After updating settings, I have to enter a passcode to unlock phone.  The number I wrote down doesn't work

    I updated the settings on my Iphone (suggested as possible way to make photo cube work).  Now I have to put in a passcode to unlock phone.  I only use one passcode but it doesn't work.  Where do I look to find the passcode I should enter?

    Using three fingers, double-tap the screen.

  • HT4061 IOS 7.0.2 update has locked me out of phone!

    Updated to IOS 7.0.2 last night before I went to bed. Woke up this morning, grabbed my phone and it's as if the touch screen is completely disabled. It looks normal, the "Slide to Unlock" button is glowing as illuminated as normal, but nothing is working. I cannot get into my phone. I can't even slide across to my lock screen from the starting screen. I can slide the little control panel screen up from the bottom but even then nothing is responding from in there either.  What on earth happened in that update last night??? How do I get my phone back?

    OK. I just saw a few other post like mine and got inspired.... If you can get the power-off button to work, let it power down and then power it back on. The screen should respond again. In my case, to get the power button to work, I also held the home button at the same time. Not sure if that was truly necessary but that's what I was doing at the time it turned off. It then turned back on using the power button as usual. Phew!

  • Blackberry has locked me out of phone and will not take new password!

    Hi All
     I have been working on this for hours. Stupid me put another sim card into my BB 9810 and now the screen shows "sign in with your blackberry ID to use blackberry services" I put my original sim back in. my phone is basically dead.
    it has generated my username (email address)
    password
    i didnt know the password. long story short I locked myself out of 2 email accounts.
    i have now been able to change my blackberry id password but bb 9810 keeps saying it is wrong. showing 8/10!!!!
    HELP! what do i do now!!!
    thanks

    You MUST sign in with the same BBID that you were signed in with originally. Otherwise you will need to wipe the device to sign in with a new BBID.
    Can you go to bbid.com on your computer to try and recover the password to the original BBID account?
    Also, here are some helpful articles about regaining access to your account:

  • Taking a picture from lock screen automatically unlocks phone?

    I noticed that when you bring up the camera to take a picture from the lock screen it automatically unlocks the phone without having to put in the number code. Is this just a tech. fluke or is there some way to avoid this (in case a phone is stolen, etc)

    your right - that works! not sure why it was doing that before...thanks!

  • Auto lock makes you unlock phone every time?

    So if you turn auto lock off, the backlight never goes off, burning your battery. If you use any other setting (1-5 mins), you have to unlock your phone EVERY time you use it or receive a message? Really? Is this correct? This most aggravating and I find it hard to believe there is no way to turn auto lock off and still have the backlight operate normally, i.e. turn off after use.

    "So if you turn auto lock off, the backlight never goes off, burning your battery"
    Correct.
    " If you use any other setting (1-5 mins), you have to unlock your phone EVERY time you use it or receive a message"
    Correct.
    " Really?"
    Yes.
    "Is this correct?"
    Again, yes.

    Either your phone is broken, or it was jailbroken. You can try a DFU restore.

  • I put a Tesco sim (02 carrier) in 2 unlocked phones, Both phones are now locked to 02, 02 blame apple, I connect the iphone to itunes and it states that the new carrier (orange) is not supported

    Where did you get these phones?
    These and other forums are full of people with iPhone unlocking problems - the net result is that, as others have said, is:
    If you bought them from Apple they will be (and stay) unlocked.
    If you bought them PAYG from CPW then they will lock to the first SIM activated.
    Any other contract or PAYG phone iPhone bought from the networks WILL be locked by them too.
    However, all is not lost. The original purchaser can request for the phones to be unlocked by Apple, via the carrier. The carriers usually charge around £20 to do this, or gratis if you're out of contract.
    You are the original purchaser, right? If not, you need to get in touch with that person and pray they'll help you out.

  • HT201210 I have tried to update to IOS6 and it has prompted me to connect to ITunes but when I do I keep getting the message ' There is no sim card inserted in the Iphone you are trying to activate'.  My phone is now locked on the IOS6 update screen!

    I have been without mu IPhone 4 since yesterday now as I tried to do the IOS6 update and since then it has messed up my phone and I am unable to access any of it's functions as it is locked on the update screen. 
    My phone was bought through Vodfone and have been on their network ever since, never had any problems like this.
    It prompts me to connect to ITunes and when I do it will not go any further as stating 'No sim card is inserted in the IPhone you are trying to activate'.  Well there is a sim in there and I have removed it and reinserted it on many occasions today.  I am also not trying to activate my phone as all I did was try to the update which I was prompted to do in my setting!
    I have seen many people on the net today with the same or similar problems but as yet I am to find a solution!
    Help, please as it is driving me crazy!!!

    Try a Hard Reset.....
    Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button AND the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears on the screen, it can take 10 or more seconds.  Ignore the swipe to turn off message.

  • My Android Galaxy S5 has locked up and gone into endless loading while trying to update to the Kitkat update. I have set it back to factory settings and tried again and it has locked up again. My phone no longer works. What else can I do?

        Oh goodness,SLEEPER888. We wish you didn't have this problem while trying to complete this update.You have done quite a bit of troubleshooting on your own. If the phone update does not take, we would need to replace it with the warranty. Is it still locked up?

  • I have updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the original sim card in america as i live in ireland is there any way i can unlock ios 5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 ?

    I have   updated my iphone 3gs to ios 5 from 4.1 and it has locked back to the orginal sim card in america but as i live in ireland an american simcard wont work here is there any way i can unlock ios  5 or delete it off my iphone and go back to 4.1 so i can use my iphone ?

    It sounds like you have a hacked/unofficially unlocked iphone.  When you update, it will indeed lock it back, as it should.
    The ONLY place that can legitimately unlock an iphone is the carrier to which they are locked and no U.S. carrier does this.

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
