It was not legitimately unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to. ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it.


In order to allow it to be used on a different carrier, the phone was hacked or jailbroken. An unauthorized modification was made to the phone. That modification has damaged the phone. You can not get support for it here or from Apple.

You or someone made an unauthorized change to the iPhone and as

a result, the iPhone is now not working. Why are you mad at Apple?

Your anger should be toward the developer of the jailbreak/hack that

rendered your iPhone inoperative. Ask the developer of that program

for support. Google may provide some direction, but then again the

changes made may prevent you from restoring your iPhone.
