[Music]
what's up guys Kristen here and today
I'm going to show you how to unlock your
iPhone 8 now there are two types of
locks first you have the passcode lock
and then you have a carrier lock I'm
going to show you how to do both of them
the passcode lock is if in case you
forgot the security code of your phone
or your four-digit pin and you're locked
out so I'm gonna show you how to unlock
your phone so that you're able to use
back your phone again now the car your
unlock is if your phone is currently
locked for a specific network let's say
you bought your phone with AT&T or
t-mobile and you wanna switch providers
to MetroPCS or any other carrier I'm
gonna show you how to do a network
unlock so that you're able to use your
phone with any GSM carrier in the world
I'm gonna show you first how to do a
passcode unlock and then I'm going to
show you how to do a car you're unlucky
if you only want to do a car unlock
please go ahead and skip to this minute
so that you can jump straight into that
part alright so let's start with a
passcode on blogger so for the passcode
unlock there are a few things that you
need to consider before proceeding the
first thing is that all the information
of this phone is going to be deleted
unless we have a backup somewhere in the
cloud or in the computer so pictures
data contacts everything is gonna be
gone the second thing make sure you
don't have an iCloud lock so make sure
you know your iCloud password and
everything because if your phone has an
iCloud lock it's gonna be quite hard to
unlock all right so with that said let's
start now I'm gonna switch camera so
that you can see what I'm currently
doing with my phone and my computer so
connect your phone to your computer and
then you have to earn items in the
computer and make sure you have the
latest version okay now we're gonna
power off the phone and we're gonna
enter recovery mode getting into
recovery mode and this phone is quite
tricky and the method that works the
best for me is this one we're gonna
press and hold all the buttons are
exactly the same time does the volume up
key the volume down key and the power on
button so press and hold it at exactly
the same time
and keep holding them until you see the
diagnosis screen this may take a few
tries so keep trying it until you get it
then we have to press where it says exit
diagnosis and right away press and hold
the volume down key and the power on
button keep holding them until you see
the logo of itunes and that means you
have to excessively enter a recovery
mode and now it's time to switch to the
computer so you're gonna see a message
just like this on itunes and now we can
restore the phone to factory settings
that's gonna erase everything on your
phone and it's gonna return it back as
if the phone was completely new so we're
gonna hit OK and you're gonna wait a
while until the phone is fully restored
if you have
my clock here the only way to bypass the
iCloud log is very entering the original
password of that account but once this
process is completed your phone is going
to be completely usable and you're going
to be able to use it without any problem
ok now I'm going to show you how to do
at network unlock this is a factory
unlock it is very simple basically there
are 3 ways to unlock your phone first
method is to take your phone to a local
store and they might do it for you you
have to leave your phone there sometimes
sometimes you have to give them the IMEI
number of the phone and it is quite
risky and sometimes they charge between
a hundred and two hundred dollars so
it's quite expensive the other option is
to ask your provider to unlock it for
you sometimes they might do it most of
the times they don't like doing it
because why would they do it it means
basically letting you go away and the
third method is to do it yourself you
only need your computer and your phone
and for me that's my favorite method
that's the easiest it is not free but
trust me guys it is completely worth it
to have a fully factory unlocked phone
and it is very safe your warranty won't
be voided and your phone won't be
damaged in any way
in fact the value of your phone will go
up in case you want to resell it again
in the future
alright with that said let's start I'm
gonna switch camera so that you can see
what I'm currently doing with the phone
alright guys so the first thing you want
to do is to turn off Find My iPhone so
go to settings and disable Find My
iPhone you can click here at the top
where it says sign in as you can see
here I'm not even signed in so that's
perfectly fine but if in case you are
signed in just make sure to find my
phone it is currently disabled if you
can find this function simply type find
and you'll see if I my iPhone option
just click on it and then after your
phone is completely unlocked you can
turn it back on okay the next step is to
get your phone's IMEI number to do this
simply dial star hash zero six hash and
as you can see your 15 digit IMEI number
will appear in your screen this is very
very important guys keep this number
somewhere close as we will need it in a
few seconds to unlock this phone so keep
it close okay now we're gonna switch to
the computer so I'm gonna put this phone
down and now it's time to use the
Internet okay so once you are in a
computer open the internet browser and
go to the website unlockriver.com
I'm gonna click the link down below okay
so here we're gonna request the unlock
to unlock this phone it's gonna be
everything done remotely so first we're
gonna select the carrier on your country
that your phone is currently locked in
my case I bought my
90 united states then we're gonna select
a brand I'm gonna type Apple and then
we're gonna select the model in this
case I'm gonna be unlocking an iPhone 8
this method will also work for the 8
plus or any other version by the way
okay then you have to do the most
important part here you have to insert
your 15 digit IMEI number make sure it
is a hundred percent correct if there's
a mistake here guys this method will not
work so just double-check it
ok then just write down your email make
sure it is 100% correct as well if you
scroll down you're gonna see the price
and the deliberate time this will always
change depending on your phones brand
carrier model okay we're gonna hit
unlock now okay on the following page
you're gonna see a summary of your
current order
so just double check everything make
sure it is 100% correct try to read
everything here there's some important
information that you need to consider
but don't worry everything is safe and
we're gonna go ahead and place the order
I'm gonna be back once my order is
completed and placed so I'll be back in
a few seconds okay so after placing your
order you're gonna see a screen just
like this it basically confirms that the
order was placed and received
successfully now all you have to do is
wait you have to wait until you get a
notification confirming that your unlock
was successful and now you just need to
connect your iPhone I'm gonna show you
how the email will look like it takes
some days so just be very patient and
once you receive the email this is how
it's gonna look I'm gonna show you my
email so you can see how that email will
look so as you can see here I just got
this email from unlock River saying that
my phone has been successfully unlocked
I'm gonna open it and it basically says
that you need to activate your unlock so
simply connect your phone to the
internet and there are two methods when
you can connect your phone to Wi-Fi or
the second one you can connect it to
iTunes so we're gonna use the second
method and connect to itunes but first
we have to do something you have to
insert a non-supported SIM card so in
this case my phone is from AT&T so I'm
gonna use a SIM card that it's not from
AT&T in this case I'm going to use a
t-mobile SIM card so I'm just gonna go
ahead and insert it then connect your
phone to your computer and launch
i-tunes
so wait until iTunes recognizes your
phone and then you're gonna get a
message saying that your phone has been
successfully unlocked and now you're
able to use your phone with any GSM
carrier worldwide you can restore update
you can do whatever you want with your
phone and your phone will remain
unlocked forever you should be good to
go and as you can see here my AT&T phone
is currently working with t-mobile
so it is fully factory unlocked alright
