IPhone :: Check In Itunes If It Is Unlocked Without Simcard?
May 4, 2012
How can I check in Itunes if Iphone is unlocked without simcard, it is locked to AT&T and they confirmed they will unlock it... prevoiusly when I use to connect Itunes says something like this "Invalid sim" and it doesnt let me sync my phone which is not the case today, as it allows me to sync and let me show all details on the summary page and phone number is n/a
I just bought a (supposedly) factory unlocked iphone from ebay. However, when I switched it on, I can see an app called blackra1n on the 2nd page. Does this mean that it is actually just jailbroken?As I understand - blackra1n is used to jailbreak iphones but not to unlock them, so is it possible that the phone is factory unlocked and jailbroken with blackra1n at the same time? Is there any way I can check if its actually factory unlocked? There aren't any other apps like Cydia on there, just black ra1n.
I bought yesterday a used iPhone 3GS. The iPhone works with any SIM card great, and it doesn't have CYDIA nor INSTALLER nor BlackRa1n app installed. If I turn it off and then on again, it keeps working just fine with my SIM. It has currently iPhone OS 3.1.2.Is there a way to check if this iPhone is Factory Unlocked?
i would like to enquire on how we can chek whether the Iphone is factory unlock or not. I recently got an Iphone-3GS sent from US to use in Nepal. the I-Phone was purchased via online through E-bay. Now I am trying to use it putting sim of Nepal but i am unable to open. i even tried to activate it via Itunes but it says insert a valid sim. So i am unaware on this. please tell me how can use it and know whethr it is factory unlock or not. Model no. of my Iphone is A1303.
I just want to ask if there's a way to find out if my bootloader is unlocked? My TrackID stopped working when my friend borrowed my phone and upon searching here the only possible root cause it by having the bootloader to be unlocked but when I checked if I can update my phone via PC Companion it works fine loading and updating my FW/SW and now I really don't know what happened to this phone. I'm afraid that my friend did something to it and maybe he really unlocked my bootloader.
Don't know what happened but in iTunes when looking at my music folder, none of my music has checkmarks in the boxes.This happened yesterday, and as far as I know I didn't do anything to cause this.
I have over 5,000 songs in iTunes, and I cannot possibly have them all in my iPhone due to space constraints, so I usually have around 3,000 which will fit nicely along with all of my apps.I tried syncing the phone twice now but none of the music changes (which I think is good being that there are no checkmarks), and neither do the missing checkmarks in iTunes.Is there some way for me to get the phone to tell iTunes to check the boxes for the songs that are currently on the phone?
i have tried to update my iphone 3gs and i need to get ios5 and when i click on check for updates it says that itunes cannot be contacted and check my internet connection but i have internet? how else can i get ios5 on my phone?
I have an iphone 3G Modem firmware 02.28.00 t was jailbroken for me by a friend in UK when brand new. I don’t know which prog was used but I have Cydia and Installer and also a pineapple logo when I reboot. I think there is a sourse app.yellowsn0w in my Cydia too. I don't remember. Anyway, I am abroad now for a year and not going back to UK straight away so I need help here if you can. I have never updated the phone software again after that. Never had any problems until today. As usual, had my MacBook software update done(iTunes was updated too – maybe that's the problem?) and then connected my iphone.
Got the message “SIM is not supported blah, blah, blah…” The phone is working fine otherwise. Calls, texts and everything else are not affected. The only thing is that I can’t update my music, pics, contacts and calendars Please advise what to do. Should I update my iphone Modem firmware? I know that newer software is better but I am worried that I won’t be able to do everything correctly and might block my iphone to “unusable” state. All I want is a minimum of changes – just to get the iphone to upload music, pics, contacts and calendars. If you believe that I should update the Modem firmware – I really want to have all the latest features – please tell me how and what firmware to update to(what’s unlockable now?), what programs to use and everything else. I have been told that I need to "hacktivate" in order to unlock and to be able to sync with iTunes. Can I just unlock without any more jailbreaking? And I must have the required software on my iphone already if it was jailbroken, right?
I've been trying to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4 and went through all the procedures with the carier, got the confirmation email from Apple, and have been trying to do the backup restore through iTunes... but haven't gotten the confirmation message in iTunes that the phone is unlocked. I've been restoring from backup, which I think is what I'm supposed to do.I'm trying to avoid the $30 tech support call since my phone is no longer and I'm already outside the US.
Pre-used iPhone 4. Got it from my sister, who unlocked it. (Still, the settings on the phone - Settings/General/Information- still mention the previous provider.)I got a new microSIM card - different provider- and I´m finding several problems to restore it as a new phone on iTunes.Â
1) Can´t update iTunes:
My iTunes is set for automatic updates. But it´s been a while that it no longer gets updated on its own. When trying manually - checking for updates- I get the following message: "the iTunes update server can not be contacted". My internet connection is fine. Re troubleshooting, i´ve modified the host file, refreshed DNS... still not working though.Â
2) Locked iPhone, enter passcode on phone. ?
When connecting iPhone to iTunes, either turned on or off, this message shows: "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone "name" because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."I do not know which password it is referring to. There´s no 4digit security code to unlock it, I deactivated it. What does it rmean?
3) once step 2 is done, Restore as a new phone.
According to the steps that I am supposed to follow, iTunes should recognize my turned off iPhone as in "restoring mode" (turn off completely, connect usb to computer, press start button on iPhone while connecting the other end of the usb cable... Apple logo shows on a black screen. Open iTunes just then, and it´ll recognize the phone is in Restore mode). I´m using Windows 7, iPhone 4, my previous provider is Orange - Europe- and the current one Vodafone. I have an iTunes account, my iTunes works perfectly when syncing my iPod touch - except for the updates-... Software on iPhone is updated - iOS 7.1.1- ...Â
i am one of the idiots using iphoneunlockuk, and recently was offered the os4 upgrade, i logged in and accidentally unlocked an already unlocked 3gs,it now shows attach to itunes screen. The guys from iphoneunlockuk, have said that i must now wait for the os4 unlock to come out as that will be the only way to recover my phone, i have paid for this upgrade but they still have not offered it, but have taken my money, how to get my iphone up and running again, they told me to not try the unlock again as it will turn phone into brick, but to wait for OS4?
I have a factory unlocked iphone 4s. recently my iphone will not sync to my itunes. The problem started recently when i downloaded/installed the new update, but while it installed, i think there was an error. i had a iphone 4 locked (US) bought purchased a new one since ive been traveling here in asia. another weird thing,I thought i lost some of my old videos, but now these videos are on my phone. anyhow, im very scared that ill lose that content/along with all the other content, although everything should be saved. I have a macbook pro 17" 10.6.8. is there anything i should try before reseting my iphone? also, i have a korean sim and im really bad with phones in general. If i reset/reformat it, i assume i have to enter in some of my phone carriers info to connect right? id like to avoid this at all cost. I just really want my iphone to sync.

I called AT&T about 15 days to request an unlock for my iPhone. Yesterday I got the confirmation email explainig that the IMEI number was unlocked and that I should follow this steps to unlock it:
To complete the unlock, simply:
1. Open iTunes on your Mac or PC and verify that you have internet connectivity.
2. Connect your iPhone using the dock connector to USB cable that came with your iPhone.
3. Backup and restore your iPhone using iTunes . [url]...
4. After restoring, your iPhone will be unlocked.
Well I have done that. And the iPhone won't activate. I have inserted my sim card from Argentina (TELECOM PERSONAL is the company) but when I connect to iTunes it gives me this message:
Your request couldn't be processed. We are sorry, but there was an error processing your request. Please try again later. I have, too, tried to do it through the iPhone, in the activation screen (where it is stuck, by the way) but the same, error message.
So my iphone 3g 8gb is having wifi problems, and I wanna take it to the apple store to get it fixed/replaced. The problem is, I am NOT on att, but t-mobile. So how would I show the Apple Geniuses my wifi problem without having my iphone jailbroken/unlocked. Since I am not on att, I cannot restore and activate the phone without jailbreaking it. How would I show them my wifi problem if all I have is the "Connect to iTunes to activate" screen? Or should I just take it in "hacktivated"/jailbroken?
Since the new iphone4 is going to have a micro-simcard. if you already have an iphone but you want to pre-order the iphone4. if you preorder it and get it shipped to your house, will it come with a micro-simcard or will you have to go to att or apple store to get one?
My 4s will not admit that my Simcard is placed inside after upgrading to iOS 5.1.1. I have tried to put the Simcard in several times and restarted the phone, but it still says that it is missing.
i just got the confirmed email from att that my iphone 4 is eligible to get unlocked. I followed the step att provided, after i backup and restore, I didnt get the message "congratulation your phone is unlocked". also itunes summary tab, i cannot see my phone number. it says n/a.surprisingly, my phone is receiving tmobile signal and its possible to make/receive call and text. it seems my phone is unlocked successfully, even though i didnt get the congratulation message on itunes. even though my phone is working, why my phone number is not showing up on itunes? does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1, not showing number on itunes
