If I update my software on my iPhone, will it go back to being locked?
About a year ago now, I got my boyfriends old phone - which at the time was locked to o2. I got the phone unlocked as my sim card is Orange. The man said that I had to keep it on the oldest software update, and if I updated it, the iPhone would go back to being locked to o2. HOWEVER, I accidentally deleted some of my apps, which now to get back requires the new software. Does anyone know IF I update it, will it ACTUALLY go back to being locked to o2?
Yes, it will go back to being locked to o2
Since your iPhone was unlocked using a jailbreak, it will be locked again once you update iOS. The only way to avoid this in the future will be to get a proper factory unlock from one of the big online vendors like http://www.cellfservices.com/ as local phone shops usually use those obscure jailbreaks you have on your phone now.
- Is ''Iphone'' software only or hardware and software? I've never had an Iphone. I always see it anounced in an absolutely black device, such as this one: http://pective.com/m/iphone-5 I wonder whether, when you're going to buy one, you go to the apple store and buy the whole thing, or look for a Nokia or Sony smartphone and then go to the Apple website and buy and download the software into your device.
- In the middle of an iPhone update and my iTunes won't recognise my phone in order to continue to update. Can I stop the update now? Neither the computer nor iTunes are recognising my phone and I've been working on his for an hour, I want to stop the update so I can go to bed, how can I do that? It's only at the stage where it has a symbol on the screen of the iPhone cable linking to iTunes
