Can't unlock iphone5 sprint - GSM-Forum

refael · 09-13-2013, 09:08

I have r-sim8 and I can't unlock iphone5 locked to sprint.

I inserted the r-sim and I set all the settings, then I needed to restart.
I get the screen that I need to activate the iphone with a sim card.

When I try to do so I get:
"The SIM card that you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently activation policy that is assigned by the server activation. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request that this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "

I don't have original sprint sim.. what I can do?

Do the same with another SIM card. Do you select USA Spr when the menu pops up?

Yes I chosed US SPR.
I managed to close the apple activation screen but there is no signal.. just No Service.

Ideas?

Thanks.

apple activation comes up when u setup bad the rsim
when u choose a bad carrier

for example iphone 5 sprint u need to choose Us sprint
if you choos other carrier will appear apple

Be suure about carrier and country iphone from

to avoid apple logo activation use another sim card and setup again
