Can I unblock a stolen iPhone 4s?
My mum and dad have been apart for nearly 2 years and HATE each other. Anyway my mum got a 4s on her contract for £100 but the contract was still in my dads name and he reported the phone as stolen as it is still legally his. She had to buy another one and let me keep the other one which can still do everything except call, text etc… Apple store couldn't/wouldn't do anything (not sure which) but my mum said I'm welcome to try. Is there any hacking software or ANYTHING I can do to unlock it
Google Cydia App, It's a hack app, never tried it but it will do whatever you want it to do. & it will help you to type in 'how to install cydia on iphone' on youtube to get a step by step tutorial!
Unlocking an iPhone is easy, just hook it up to the computer. Anything that you bought already is on iTunes so don't worry about that. You can transfer all of your photos to your computer even if it is locked. Then just go to iTunes with the phone plugged into the computer and restore it. Also you can jailbreak your iphone & get cydia.
A blocked iphone has its imei number blocked, and this is specific to the phone and can't be changed.jailbreaking may allow you to do anything you want to the phone, but you can't change the imei code and once blocked this code can't be connected to any other UK network.
Thats why you find so many UK blocked iphones for sale cheap on ebay! They are useless here!
A barred phone is when a phone is reported as lost or stolen to a network and its IMEI (serial) number is blocked. This makes the phone unusable across all networks with any SIM card. The only way to unbar a phone is for the original owner who originally asked it to be barred to contact the network asking for it to be reactivated - this would happen if the phone was lost and then found again for example.
Unless the original owner of the phone asks for it to be unbarred, it can't be unbarred. It is permanently barred across all networks with all SIMs.
Unlocking a phone means to remove the SIM network lock - the SIM lock is not the problem here - it is the IMEI that is barred, so therefore unlocking or jailbreaking are not options that will work for you.
Unless your dad asks for it to be unbarred the phone is essentially useless.
- Lost iPhone - blocked imei - now found, can I unblock? I lost my iPhone but someone kindly returned it to the hotel I lost it at. I reported it stolen/ missing at the time and it got blocked- obviously I can't really afford a brand new iPhone 5 when this one is fine but now my sim doesn't work (no signal just 3G) if I go to O2 with proof it's me will they unblock it for me?
- Is it possible to UNBLOCK an iphone or not because the imei? I bought a iphone a few weeks ago and the person didn't tell me its blocked so i'm fuming. Is there any way of unblocking it? Or anyone no where i can get it unblocked? In the uk please
- I have a stolen iPhone 5c but I didn't know it was stolen? I bought an iPhone and checked the imei and I found out it was stolen. I can't use it yet because it is stuck in the beginning where it says " please insert a sim card, SIM required" I just want to use it as an iPod since I got it for a good cheap price. It is a sprint phone, and also if I take it to Apple or Sprint will they take the phone away? I didn't know it was stolen and I don't want to get blamed or end up losing money. The iPhone was restored already.
- How/Can i unblock this number? Need fast So this person keeps on calling me with a blocked number on my iphone, is there any app or just any way i can find a way to reveal that blocked number? Is there a app i can download?
