Can't activate iphone 3gs after update

After update to 6.1.3 iphone 3gs wants activate. After update from ios 4 to ios 5 all was fine. Iphone was locked to some carrier. IMEI 011985003296760
How I can know is my Iphone locked to at&t or another mobile operator? Sorry for my english.

This happens to iPhone which is unofficially unlocked. Nobody here can tell you the carrier to which your iPhone was locked.
Need to call AppleCare
or
Google its full model no. to get a hint.

  • I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

    I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>Carrier?

  • Cannot activate iPhone 3gs after update

    May someone please tell me that why I cannot register my iPhone 3GS after upgraded to 6.XX iOS version? I tried and could not. The other problem I have is I am not is USA. The only way I can get this activated is by iTune, it keeps failing over and over.
    Anyone have idea how can I get this done please? It is very frustrating seeing i ca't use my phone even though it works very good.

    Yes but it is not ATT. I am overseas and I cannot connect to ATT Cell Tower. Moreover it iTune does help also. It seats and times out.

  • HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

    I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

    Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • I am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3

    i am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3?

    The activation servers were down for a bit yesterday.
    Try again.
    A SIM is required for activation. If problems continue, the two most common activation issues are the result of a hacked or jailbroken device.

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

    That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

    Same problem here, and it's not isolated.

    I believe you will find you can again sync Photos if you delete the "iPod Photo Cache", but predict that any subsequent attempt will fail.  In my case, the enxt sync removes all the photos again - I've seen other reports of error messages upon sync.  Mine just fails silently. :-)

    Hello vikings2013
    You can recover photos from iTunes or iCloud as long as you had a backup. The article below will give instructions on backup and restore through both options of computer and iCloud.

    The vast majority of 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.

  • HT201210 how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?

    how to activate iphone 4 after updating software to IOS 6?
    please help..

    Your friend did an unofficial unlock and it has now locked back to the original cell carrier. You need to call AppleCare, give them the model and serial number of the iPhone and find out which cell carrier it is locked to. Then contact that cell carrier and see what the process is to officially unlock the iPhone and if you qualify.
