3GS no longer sees sim card after update to io5

it acts as though the sim is bad but i put the sim in another phone and it works.

Same problem with my 3GS :
Impossible to activate IOS 5 because itunes say "sorry there is no sim inside"...
I tried everything and the problem is found on many forum. many people can not activate theiriPhone after installing the update.

  • HT4972 Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?

    Why won't my iPhone 4 recognize my sim card after update?
    I updated my iPhone 4 over wifi and it went through the process fine, until it switched back on and now refusese to recognize my sim card!
    Any ideas?

    Usually this means the phone was previously jailbroken or hacked to unlock it from the carrier it was locked to, and the update re-locked it to that carrier.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer reads sim card & now I can't update my iTunes...help?

    Hey Guys,
    So, my iPhone 3GS recently got sprite spilt on it and because of that it will no longer read the sim card...so basically it's
    a glorified iPod Touch at this point (meaning I can do everything on it but make phone calls or text). Before it got ruined, I purchased some music ($30 worth) on it and now when I tried to transfer my purcahses to my iTunes account on my MBA it keeps telling me that I have to put the sim card in and it won't let me sync it. When I log onto my iTunes account it shows that I purchased the songs under the Purchased tab and tells me the serial number for my receipt, but I have no way of getting my actual music onto my computer. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I'd hate for all my music...and money to go to waste, thanks!

    You should be able to go to "store" on iTunes and select check for available downloads. If you connect the phone and then right-click on it, it asks for the SIM before it will transfer purchases? That seems odd.

  • 3Gs no longer charges in car after updating to iOS 5

    I got a weird problem after updating to iOS 5. In addition to the battery drain, my 3GS will no longer charge via a 12 volt car adaptor. I know the cable and the adaptor work because my son's iPod and wife's iPhone 3G both charge from them. The cable also has no problems charging my phone when it's plugged into the computer or a wall socket.
    The battery drain is a bummer, but combined with no longer being able to charge in the car makes this a killer combination.
    Any help with this would be much appreciated.
    Regards,
    John

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
    Have you contacted Honda?

  • IPhone 3GS can not detect SIM Card after upgraded to iOS 6.0.1

    Guys I really need your advice please...
    I upgraded my iPhone 3GS 32GB from iOS 5.1.1 to 6.0.1 a couple weeks ago and since then it can not detect the my SIM Card ever. Before it's been upgraded, the phone was working just fine, but now it's just like a gameboy to me. I've been trying to find solution and some stores want me too pay quite amount of money to fix it but I refused.
    By the way, it has been jailbroken with RedSnow, tethered of course... and all the features are working perfectly, the WiFi is working, syncing is working, Bluetooth is working, downloading apps from App Store is okay, but only Mail and Safari won't work. I haven't got a chance to go to Apple Service Center to fix it yet, but the store I went said that Apple may say the same.
    Thanks in advance.
    ps to Admin: I'm a newbie, so if I posted this in the wrong room please forgive me.

    Thanks Chris for your solution.
    But just for you know that I bought Apple to get the 'after service', they should've warn the users not to upgrade to a higher OS if it can caused the phone 'dead'. Mine was totally unusable when it's just been upgraded. It stayed in the recovery mode and couldn't be restored. So I brought it to the nearest store and they did that to me, and eventually the phone is working, only it cannot detect my SIM Card...
    The problem is not about upgrading an iPhone to a newer version of iOS.  Your problem was upgrading a hacked phone, one of the well known consequences of which is re-locking and/or bricking the entire device when restoring in iTunes.  You chose to hack your phones firmware and operating system, so you must accept the consequences of going outside the bounds of normal use that Apple prescribes and supports.
    Had you not hacked it in the first place, you likely would have never had a problem, and if you had, Apple would have offered support to deal with it.  Your choice, your decision, your consequences.

  • IPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card after update to iOS 5.1

    I updated my iOS to 5.1 yesterday and after that my iPhone doesn't recognize my SIM Card. What has happened to my iPhone?

    It was probably jailbroken or hacked to unlock it. If that's the case it is now bricked. You may be able to find an answer on Google, but you cannot get help here.

    after updating to iOS 6.0.1 my iphone 3s won't recognize my SIM card. i updated my phone through iTunes, what happened to my phone?

    If it now says "invalid" or "unsupported" SIM, your iPhone was almost certainly hacked to unlock it from the original cell carrier and updating has now removed that hack and the iPhone has relocked back to that original carrier. You will have to contact that carrier and ask if it would be possible to get your iPhone officially unlocked.
    Regards.

    how to solve this problem. I don't have any sim cards that came with iphone.
    Please help out to solve this problem.
    It sounds like the phone was hacked or jailbroken, and updating it locked it to the original carrier. As it is not possible to update to any version other than the current one (5.1) the fact that you updated to 4.1 pretty much confirms the phone was hacked. There is no solution that you can get in an Apple forum.

    Then the SIM may have failed. Try removing and re-inserting it. If that doesn't fix it, you will have to get the SIM replaced by your carrier.

  • Tour says, "Insert SIM card" after quick reset

    I have a Blackberry tour 9630, and for no logical reason it started saying "insert SIM card" after I reset the phone. I've tried a battery pull, and that did nothing. In fact, I have no idea if my service provider, US Cellular, even uses a SIM card. Is this something I will have to discuss with my service provider or is this something I can fix? I can't seem to even see a SIM card on the phone. In fact, I don't even know where it would be.
    Thanks

    I also have US Cellular and this problem happened to me while travelling last week    I don't  know why it did it but I had to go to "Options, Mobile Network" and change the Network Technology back to "1XEV" which returned it to normal.  I dont know what caused it to switch to "GSM/UMTS"

  • Cannot longer browse the internet after updated 10.5 to 10.5.8

    cannot longer browse the internet after updated 10.5 to 10.5.8

    Did you repair permissions?
    Did you backup your data prior to installing?
    Are you using any non-Apple routers to connect to the modem?
    Is this with a notebook or a desktop Mac?
    Are there any other Macs with 10.5.8 or newer that can connect?
    Does connecting directly to the modem work via ethernet, or are you on dialup?
