[QUOTE="Bazouges, post: 1654859, member: 350002"] Hello All, Yesterday I bought an iPhone 4s from some woman online. So, this morning I took it in to the local mobile store to get a SIM card/account. No luck. She failed to mention it was blocked by another carrier. So I am trying to unlock it, but seem to be stuck in a set-up mode loop. It goes like this: HELLO > Choose Language > Choose Country > Set up Network (home network entered) > "SIM Card Not Valid" > option: "Try Again" (back to Language set up) or back arrow. I can't even get the home menu to display, otherwise I might be able to unlock it (thanks to University of Youtube). The guy at the mobile store thought it's just a SIM-lock issue, not stolen. (Considering I have her full name and received all the original accessories, I tend to agree with him). Please help me get back to the original menu! Thanks! [/QUOTE]
