    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • IPhone 3gs will not activate after restore, NEVER HACKED/JAILBROKEN! Help!

    I've recently tried to update to the newest firmware, And my iPhone 3gs, Which has, and I will add emphasis, Never Been Hacked or Jailbroken! , Messed up and I had to factory reset the device. All wen't well with the restore, until I attempted to Activate said device, to which it stated it could not connect to the server to activate the phone! So, I attempted to do it the iTunes way, and yet again, It could not connect to the server.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, Tried it on multiple computers on the home network, also tried it on a completely different network, every time, the same answer.
    And to top it all off, My "backup" on iTunes that I did every week to save my pictures/music/videos, in case of this type of event, Has also been completley erased.
    I am at a huge loss, I have no idea what to do! I hope someone can help.

  • IPhone 3GS Will Not Activate After Restore

    Hello,
    Full story:
    I purchased an iPhone 3GS 3 years ago locked to the O2 network UK.
    Throughout the years this phone has been jailbroke and unlocked on numerous ios versions.
    I have decided to fully restore my phone so I can take advantage of the 6.1.3 update and realise that the phone will be locked back to O2.
    I have bought an O2 pay and go sim in preperation and have fully restored the iphone.
    I progress through the configuration menus at the beginning and the phone is picked up by itunes but after a while of trying to activate the screen says:
    [quote]Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
    If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support[/quote]
    As stated the phone is connected to iTunes already, aswell as WiFi, and the O2 sim card is in the phone.
    Can anyone please assist as to why this is happening as an hour ago the phone was working fine (pre restore) and now this.
    Many thanks in advance
    D4

    The hack used to unlock it has rendered it unable to activate at all. Apple's servers can detect the hack and have disabled activation. Even on the carrier it was originally locked to. You will have to contact O2 and see if they will authorize a legitimate unlock.
    There is no other advice we can offer. You have forfeited all rights to support by hacking and jailbreaking the phone.

  • How can i fix my iphone 4 that doesnt want to restore

    how can i fix my iphone 4 that doesnt want to restore?

    I think you'd need to supply a little more information than that if you want help...
    At what stage does the restore fail?
    Are you trying to update the iOS?
    Are you getting an error code? Have you looked it up using the handy link?
    Have you tried rebooting your computer?
    Have you tried a different cable?
    Have you tried a different USB Port?

  • How can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

    how can i fix my iPhone cus its not syncing all of my songs from iTunes

    Assuming you haven't taken up too much memory from apps to hold the 11 gigs of music...
    After you plug in your iPhone, go to the music tab. Make sure you have it set to sync all music.
    If apps/books/etc. leave you with less than 11 gig of space for you music, make playlists and sync those instead

  • IPhone software update errored. How can I fix my iPhone without having to do a restore?

    I plugged in my iPhone 4 to do a sync this afternoon.  I got the message that there was a software update.  Sadly, I've updated to the crappy iOS7, so I chose to install the update (which I think is 7.0.2.)  The update was downloaded, and was loading to my iPhone.  I suddenly received an error that my iPhone couldn't update.  I think it had an error code of 411. My iTunes refreshed, and is now not showing that it recognized my phone.  Now the only thing I can get to show up on my screen is a graphic of the iTunes icon, and an arrow directing me to plug in my phone.  When I do this, a message appears that iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes.  I don't want to perform a restore.  I will lose all my data.  So, why did this error?  How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?

    I think it had an error code of 411....So, why did this error?
    There is no such error code.  No one can tell you why without the correct code.

    iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode and that I must restore this phone before it can be used with iTunes....How can I fix my iPhone without doing a restore?
    There is no way to get out of recovery mode without restoring.
    You mean you actually didn't back up before updating, really?

    my Iphone 3gs could not activate

    Typically activation issues are the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.
    If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

    What do you mean by "restoring definitions"?
    What EXACTLY is your problem?
    "does not works" is just a bit vague.

  • How can i fix my iphone 3gs when i have network issues after updating to IOS 6.1.3 and avoid the connect to ITunes screen?

    Im an owner of an Iphone 3gs.
    When I updated my software to IOS 6.1.3 I started having network issues such as my phone would go on searching, it would search for signal and then No service after few minutes it would restart and when its on again it would show me Connect To Itunes screen, I tried connecting but nothing happens and if I just leave it as it is it will just keep on restarting and showing the same screen sometimes I might get lucky and the phone will start working again but No Service and if I turn on my 3G for the times Im outdoors it will just restart again so 3G is also another problem I have got. Today I decided to take it to an Apple Store, the guy restored it and now what happens is that it switches on and is showing me the connect to Itunes message but with black backround and i cant do anything it keeps on restarting and showing the same thing. Please if there is anyone that would like to spend some time with me to help me out, he would be more than Welcome.

  • IPhone 3GS does not activate after upgrade to iOS 5.1

    I never had any issues upgrading the iphone 3GS in the past. Last January I got my iphone upgrade to iPhone 4S, which made my 3GS redundant, so I had asked Vodafone uk to get it unlocked for me so that I can use it with other networks. Vodafone sent the information to apple and got the iphone unlocked for me. The OS was 4.1 then. A few days ago I came to India on my business trip for 4 weeks and inserted an indian SIM and it worked fine. but just yesterday I tried to upgrade it to iOS 5.1 through itunes and it got stuck in recovery mode then I tried to restore it and found that it has indeed loaded the iOS 5.1 as it asked me questions relating to language and country and tried to access wifi for iCloud. But it has got stuck just there and says no SIM inserted.
    Please help .....

    This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
    If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.
