Was wondering my iphone passcode has been locked/ iphone is disabled and it takes like 60 mins to try another time..... Its like a long wait and I've tried searching for help. And what I find is when my phone is plug-in to the computer can I choose update instead of restore?
iPhone 5, iOS 8.4
So it seems that your Phone is locked with the 4-Digit PIN and if you do not remember/ are unable to inout the correct one/ disabled the device, the only way to get around this is to restore your device via iTunes.
However, to do this you will need to place your device into recovery mode: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
From there it will prompt you to "Update and Restore"
You technically have to do both because when you restore the device, it automatically brings along the newest software. (Hence, Updating)
By doing a restore, it also wipes your device clean, everything goes.
That is how you get around 4-Digit PIN

See: iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
I think I surely needs to restore as it shows 'Iphone is disabled, connect to itunes" . And I was wondering like if I restore my iphone which is sim carrier unlocked version, will that get locked again? or it won't harm those?
If the phone was purchased new and unlocked, or if it was unlocked by the carrier it was originally locked to, it will remain unlocked. If it was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it, restoring it will lock it to the original carrier, or it may completely brick the phone. But you have no choice; the only way to resolve this is to restore the phone.
so now that am using the other carrier and I try restoring my phone with the sim carrier on so that means it will lock up the phone? and do I have to first download the new iOS version on my itunes ?
It has nothing to do with iOS. Either the phone is locked or it is not locked. Read my post again.
Hi please help me which option to choose after restoring and updating my iphone. Since my phone has been updated and everything is new.
thanks
how to unlock passcode is disabled ?
