Phone is not jailbroken. My unlock was legitimate and official, and was done through my carrier. In Canada, Telus will unlock all their iPhones after 90 days of use on the Telus network. This message appears every time a carrier unlocked iPhone is restored in iTunes. It isn't "misleading," it just confirms that your IMEI is in Apple's database as being unlocked. I have restored my phone multiple times; the same message reappears. The only problem is the fact that there seems to be no accessible way to actually hit that Continue button. Likely it's not required as I assume pressing Continue merely hides the message; for instance, closing then reopening iTunes works, or you can go into the source list and access your phone then choose to restore from a backup from the context menu; but I still find it disconcerting.
The only way to get around this is to do the activation on the phone itself, then plug it into iTunes to begin sinking or restoring from a backup. If you do that then no prompting is given in iTunes. Hopefully this accessibility issue will be resolved soon. Grant On 2013-01-07, at 8:10 PM, "Tara Prakash" <[email protected]> wrote: > That's correct.
