What will happen if I restore my iPhone 4?
I just got an iPhone 4 yesterday, and I forgot the passcode. My mom said that I could restore the iPhone 4. That will delete completely everything right? Well luckily i didn't have any information on the iPhone. But will it still be in the same carrier? I have it on att. Will it be unactivated? Or will it still be in att?
It just deletes the information you put on the iphone (contacts, games, apps, texts, etc.). Puts it back to the way it was when you bought it.
Carriers and networks stay as they are, but it just restores it to the stock firmware (deletes everything basically)
The only way to perform a restore is to remove everything from the device and then it resets to factory settings. All contacts, messages, accounts, apps, etc. Will be gone unless you back up the device.
