@martinsteiger Yeah, that fits OS X’s well known problem with sparsebundle delete [tech.kateva.org]. The storage layer hasn’t kept up with modern mass storage devices – lack of diagnostics is just one sign. Given Apple’s Cloud strategy this may not be an Apple priority.

I think AT&T unlocked my 5s when it was only 1 year into its contract. Happened because I was confused about termination date and tried an unlock. I wonder if it was side-effect of the mobileshare promo that meant we pay out-of-contract device rate.
