Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS
yes cydia was on the phoe when i got the phone but i completely wiped it so now i have no idea what to do.
You can't get help here for hacked and jailbroken phones. It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
Find an answer elsewhere or buy a new phone.
Where is elsewhere?
Anywhere but an Apple hosted forum. Try using google.
Can you not just tell me how to do it? I know you know how to
No. Discussing jailbroken devices is forbidden by the terms of service here.
