Hello,

I am using iPhone 5s (A1453). Which i bought from a seller on eBay. the phone was locked to Sprint. I managed to unlock it, and i was using it since 6 months.
But when i restored my iPhone using iTunes, It locked again. Can anybody help me out what to do. I live in India.

If the phone is now locked again, you did not unlock it -- you hacked the carrier lock and opened up a GIGANTIC security hole you were lucky enough not to have gotten attacked. Be very glad the restoration closed that.

The solution, I'm afraid, is to contact Sprint, tell them the story, give them the IMEI and such and perhaps -- for a small fee -- they will send the code to the phone to remove the carrier lock. This is only legal, safe and permanent way to unlock that phone.

For future reference: don't buy locked phones if you don't live where you can get it unlocked.

Highlighting the solution that was provided, since you managed to somehow not read it..
