IPhone 5c :: Incorrect Apple ID Cannot Be Used To Unlock Phone Â
Jul 1, 2014
after having updated my ios to the latest version, I can not activate my iphone, and shows me the following message incorrect apple id cannot be used to unlock this iphone Â
When trying to install any app on my iphone 5c, it keeps telling me, that either my APPLE ID or password is incorrect, even after I've reset my password. Why is this happening?
THE STRING "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" DOES NOT RETURN ANY DEVICE ID. WHY?The bootloader on Motorola devices released before August 2012 is not unlockable. This fastboot command will not return a device ID or unlock data for these Motorola devices. At this point, only the devices on our Supported Devices list are eligible for the unlockable bootloader program.HOW DO I TELL IF MY DEVICE HAS AN UNLOCKABLE/RE-LOCKABLE BOOTLOADER?This depends on a few factors. First is whether the device ships with a bootloader that is capable of being unlocked or re-locked. Second is whether the wireless carrier that sells the device allows the bootloader to be unlocked, as each of our operator partners has their own policy. As new devices are released, please check the bootloader introduction page. You will be able to check whether your device shipped with an unlockable bootloader. We will be adding devices to this list regularly.As of August 2012, the only Motorola devices which can be unlocked are:
Now above what I have bolded are my areas of concern. In particular, the second quote:First is whether the device ships with a bootloader that is capable of being unlocked or re-locked.The Motorola Atrix HD has indeed shipped with a bootloader that is capable of being unlocked or re-locked. It supports the exact same commands as the Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE does, the commands of:
This device fits that exact definition. Running a strings.exe runthrough of the bootloader from the Atrix HD shows that it indeed supports these commands, and anyone with this device and the android-sdk can run these commands themselves. The part where the unlocking process is stuck is the Motorola "Unlock My Device" webkit, where the results of "fastboot oem get_unlock_data" were pasted into the box to get the emailed UNIQUE_KEY to put into "fastboot oem unlock [ unlock code ] " as the same process is the Photon Q 4G LTE. The site comes up with this error:As you can see, we can assume the second half of the "few factors" as the faq pointed out:Second is whether the wireless carrier that sells the device allows the bootloader to be unlocked, as each of our operator partners has their own policy.Assuming this, it is then AT&T's decision that the Motorola Atrix HD has a locked bootloader, but the device DOES support unlocking and re-locking, contrary to the first quote in this post from their faq about devices before August 2012 NOT supporting these functions.The bootloader on Motorola devices released before August 2012 is not unlockable.So my question is, will this information be able to get corrected, or is Motorola planning to make an announcement that the Motorola Atrix HD will not be unlocked because of AT&T, but that the hardware and software actually support unlocking and re-locking?
I want to buy an iPhone 3GS from a friend who had ATT, but the contract is expired. Can I buy the iPhone from him and take it to ATT or Apple to have it unlocked?
I wanted toraise a request to unlock an iPhone with AT&T bought at a no commitment price (full price) though locked to AT&T and never used AT&T services (read; not a customer). When I contacted AT&T to unlock this phone, I was told to contact Apple since AT&T was not taking up such requests from non customers. Also the AT&T policy states that they will unlock phones bought for no commitment price. Is Apple in a position to identify no commitment price devices and unlock them?
i call AT & T to unlock iphone 4after multiple contacts and the AT & T agrees to unlock my iphonebut now is not unlocked.I appeal to AT & T AT & T shall be said for me to contact apple to consider my case.16GB black Iphone 4I expect Apple to review my case and resolve to unlock my iphone.
So i paid £15 for t-mobile to unlock my iphone 4 to any sim .....i have been waiting around 2weeks for a email. I did a 3gs around 2months ago via 3network and it was done in 3days How long will it take apple to sort this out ?
A year ago I bought a iPhone 4 from Apple direct as I had a Sony Orange monthly contrct phone that broke and Orange would not replace the phone for me. So I made my normal SIM into a micro SIM and have used my Orange SIM in my iPhone for a year. My contract with orange is now at the end of its term and I have bought a Iphone SIM only Tesco 12 month contract deal.
The SIM arrived but when I put it in it states that there is "No Service" - now this has confused me as I thought if I bought the phone direct from Apple it would be unlocked - I can not call Orange and get an unlock code as the phone they have registered for me to use is a Sony phone?
I have tried doing a factory restore with my phone and logging onto itunes but Tesco (o2) is not listed as a provider?
How do I unlock it?
I need to get it unlocked at a shop but don't they just hack into it or I need to Jailbreak it but again I thought if I do this I will have problems with updates etc with the phone?
Talked to an At&t assistent about unlocking my iphone 4 (3-04-2012).I was told that it would take about 7-10 days to get an answer on my mail from apple but... still waiting...Already done a restore hopping that it was done...Got a Case ID, how can i know the status of the request?
My contract with Orange is up so I phoned to get a PUC code and bought a sim only Tesco Mobile Contract. Put in the Tesco sim, mmm doesn't work but thought I had an already unlocked phone. Phoned Orange, yes they will charge me £20 approx to unlock it, will send the request to Apple and shoudl take up tp 20 days. Heard nothing from them so called them back 22 days later - the reply I got was they contacted Apple who have refused to unlock the phone as it is an unregistered device - ie not a paired device? They told me Apple have declined to unlock it as it is considered to be a non paired device. Orange have told me to speak to Apple and as I had given Orange permission to send the request on my behalf. Orange said when I bought it brand new it should of come with a sim - I said no it shouldn't cause I bought a brand new unlocked (or so I thought) phone. So now what do I do - do I phone Apple and pay the £25 incident charge and they will unlock it or if I pay it and they don't unlock it I loose £25 or do I go back to Orange and chase them again. The reason I bought it not direct from Orange as I broke my old phone while still in a years contract with orange and they would not let me upgrade and pay the difference for an iPhone, they told me they would repair my phone (which I told them would not be cost effective as I dropped it in the sea while canoeing!) hence why I bought a new phone - it is registered and have had no problems with it.
I"ve been trying to unlock my iphone on itunes but it keeps giving me a network time out after it has download all the software up dates so it is not finishing the process of unlocking my iphone what do I need to do?
I want to buy a used iPhone from eBay Australia who was bought in some carrier (like Optues, Telstra etc...) and unlocked by the carrier for the buyer's request.
Carrier unlock is like factory unlock? I will be able to use this iPhone in any GSM network in the world?
I bought a 2nd hand Iphone4 and a carrier unlock was submitted to Vodaphone by the previous owner sucessfully. However the phone is still locked and it was well over 7 days since the request was put in. How long do these things take, I was told it would only be 5 days.
when i go to settings on my iPhone and select wi-fi on, it shows my network with a padlock and i can't access my own network. how do i unlock my network? i am using an airport express as my wireless router. i do know the password for the airport express.
I have missed the 24th preorder date and I was wondering if by any chance even 1 in million manage to get on hold of a payg iphone 4 (uk) from a carrier like orange, 3 etc. Is there a difference having an officially unlocked iphone from apple vs an ultrasn0w etc. unlock device?? (other than any ethical/moral issues ). Any specific stuff that I will not be able to perform with such an unlock?, any downsides like slowdowns (if it’s a 24/7 background running service etc) ?
I know that O2 official unlock iphones for $15, but I haven’t found any certain info on the other carriers. (note: the phone will not be used to UK at all, so some proposed actions from carriers like: “use the phone for 3 months with the carrier and then ask for an unlock” will not work in my case.)
Every time i enter my password, its always saying incorrect password. Even when i change it to a new one. its as if the password is never saved or something, password i use with my iPhone is the someone i have always used. But with iPhone its always incorrect.
My phone says I need to update my apps, but when I try it says my password is incorrect. I have changed my password three times and it stil won't work.
I jailbroke my iphone 4 and all is well.. its great actually, but I noticed earlier today the time was correct at 5:30 this afternoon but it displayed it as 5:30 AM. So I powered off the phone and when it rebooted it was correct. I just noticed again right now its midnight exactly, it displays 2:03 AM. When I check New York city on the world clock, it displays 2:03 AM.
No matter what I do in setting up my primary account on my iphone it keeps telling me my username and/or password is incorrect. I'm 100% sure it's correct. The account was working perfectly and nothing changed. I still use the email on my desk top so I know it is valid. It may even fetch the mail occasionally.
I recently restored my iphone 4 to factory settings to fix a seperate issue, but since my phone has been saying 'only compatible sim cards fron a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone' My sim card is an english o2 sim which has always worked previously. I am unable to set upthe phone or restore using itunes so my phone is completely not functioning. what i could try next? My last resort is the genius bar
