Upgrade unlocked iphone
Does anyone know if this is possible:
I was lucky to buy an official unlocked iphone in Germany last year. Of course you can not buy them unlocked anymore. With being registered at apple with this iphone do you think its possible to buy an unlocked 16 GB iphone? and use as i use my iphone right now

No, The only way Apple sells unlocked phones is in France.

Factory Unlocked iPhone 3Gs upgraded to 4.2.1 no longer working with SIMs
I think this is an ios 4.2.1 glitch.
I purchased a facotry unlocked iPhone when I was in Jordan because I travel a great deal for work and needed a phone that I could use with many SIM cards. When I set it up the first time, and several times after that when I upgraded the ios iTunes would connect to Apple and welcome me to my apple unlocked phone. For more than a year I have been able to use it will all of my SIM cards.
The last time I upgraded to ios 4.2.1 iTunes did not connect to Apple to confirm my unlocked phone. Additionally my phone will only become activated when I install my Iraqna SIM chip. It won't work with any other SIM.
I have a No Service message on my phone and while it lists all of the SIM information - when I go to General - About - Network I get a message saying 'phone not allowed' for every SIM except my Iraqna.
I tried to restore my phone to the previous ios but couldn't because of the upgraded firmware.
I tried to restore my phone and set it up and a new phone.
I am traveling at the moment and cannot afford to use my hotel phone to be put on hold while waiting to speak to a service representative. I depend on my phone and have been resisting buying a cheap Nokia or an expensive Smartphone to replace my very loved iPhone 3gs.
I also really don't want to have to illegally break into my factory unlocked phone just so that I can use it as a phone.
Please Help.Hi sn4p2k.
I take it that you have not heard of this problem and therefore don't have an answer.
I am not living in America at the moment.
Apple most definitely provides factory unlocked phones outside of America. I paid $1000 for this one from an Apple authorized reseller in Amman and it worked perfectly with Apple and iTunes through several ios upgrades for more than a year.
My phone is not tied to a carrier - that is what factory unlocked means.
I upgraded my ios and now I can't use my phone.
If anyone out there has had this problem and has a suggestion or a solution I would be very grateful if you could tell me what it is.
Thank you. -

Is possible to upgrade an unlock iPhone 4s to 5? How much it's cost?
No, you can't upgrade, except by selling your 4S and using the money towards a 5.

Then, you own the phone. Your only options are sell the phone yourself or see what programs are offered by third-parties or your carrier.

Need advice if i should upgrade my legally unlocked iphone 3G
Hi,
I recently traveled to livigno (in the alps of Italy)and i stumbled across an unlocked iPhone 3G at an electronics store (not an apple store just a regular electronics store).
the guy told me that it was legally unlocked and that i could make software updates. but after what I've been hearing in the apple discussion , i am not sure if i should take the risk and upgrade to 2.2.1 from 2.2
how can i know that it is legally unlocked and that i can update without the phone being locked ()bricked.
I live in Malta and using it in Malta.
Thanking you in advance,

If I upgrade my factory unlocked iphone to a new firmware, will I lose may apps, data or carrier unlock?? I have a 4.3.3 firmware but want 5.0.1
If it's a genuine factory unlocked phone from Apple you should have no problems. I have had two, a 3GS and now a 4S, and they update and handle just like the locked phones. If it has been hacked in any way, though, all bets are off.

Did anybody upgrade IOS 6 on unlocked iPhone 4s?
Ok I have a factory unlocked iPhone 4s that I bought from an apple store. I was wondering if I could update it to ios 6 without any problems or minor problems that can be fixed. I am really scared that it will lock again or be dead. On every website I look at it keeps saying jailbroke iPhones dont work on ios 6 but mine is not jailbroken. Did anybody update their iPhone without anything going wrong?
It's not a "better" answer, but I've read as well that legitimately unlocked iPhones remain unlocked even after an iOS version-level update.
I'm in a similar boat. My iPhone 4S was unlocked by AT&T because I was not under contract any longer with the phone. I had to contact AT&T and give them my IMEI in order to unlock it. Then I had to run an iOS restore (still back on 5.x at the time). After the restore was finished, iTunes gave me a pop-up notification that the restore was complete and my phone was unlocked.
So ... it stands to reason that the unlock "authority" sits on AT&T's (or whoever your provider is) system. I would love to upgrade to iOS 6 to check this out for you, but I leave the USA to move overseas tomorrow and I can't risk locking my iPhone back up. I need to be able to just throw in a new SIM when I arrive overseas (Australia).
I'm interested to see what gets reported on this thread. Thanks for bringing it up! -
If I upgrade a factory unlocked iphone do I lose the unlock?
I got a factory unlocked iphone with a 4.3.3 firmware. If I wanna upgrade to 5.0.1 will I lose the unlock (carrier)?
No problem, if either jk_baller23 or myself helped in any way please consider crediting either (or both) of our responses. Thanks

Can i upgrade my iphone 4 unlocked from ATNT and currently on iOS 5.1.1 to latest iOS 6 coming with iphone 5 without locking the phone again.
If it was officially unlocked by AT&T, it will remain unlocked during an upgrade of the iOS. If it was hacked to provide unlocking, it will most likely lock to the original carrier.

Upgrading to IOS 5 will lock factory unlocked iphone 4 or not??
I have an Iphone 4 with ios 4.3.3 bb 4.10.01 and its factory unlocked. If I upgrade it to a new Ios 5, will I loose my unlock??
I know that factory unlocked iphones dont loose unlock if they are upgraded but I heard that IOS 5 will lock the factory unlocked also.jim_suman wrote:

You heard wrong. IF the device is officially unlocked by Apple, it will not be relocked. IF it was hacked to be unlocked, upgrading iOS WILL relock the device to the original carrier. -
Hesitating to upgrade-3.0 officially unlocked iPhone 3g with tmobile
Please help... I purchased my iphone3G 3 months ago. I'm thinking of upgrading to 3.0 few days from now. But,I have noticed there are people who have problems with the 3.0 upgrade. I'm going to wait a few days before upgrading to 3.0 until I'm more aware what's going on and if there are any solutions from Apple.
Anyway, I purchased my iphone3g on ebay (3 months ago) brand new officially unlocked under Apple warranty and running version 2.2.1 under US tmobile service.
If I upgrade to OS 3.0 and run into a problem that cannot be resolve except exchanging a new one. Would Apple replace it with officially unlocked iphone 3g? or the locked version of iphone 3g that's locked to ATT? Could someone out here please answer...
Also, someone tells me that since the phone was originally from Italy, if something happens with my phone I need to have to ship it back to the Italy? Will Apple warranty still covers my phone because I did purchased my phone in the US on ebay.Do not upgrade to 3.0 yet - too many problems reported, from missing wireless to excessive battery drain.
Warranty in Europe is a real pain. You have to return it to Italy! There is no other way. And then you will wait for 4 weeks for the replacement unit. If you power adapter is dead too, then you can't claim it at the same time - you can come back in 4 weeks and then hand in the power adapter too - and of course wait another 4 weeks for it. -
