Can't activate iPhone 3gs on ios6, Comes up no service.

Basically, Before i updated it worked fine, Now i have updated it just comes up no service. I have downgraded it back to 4.1. but now cant update it to 5.1.1 again as i keep getting the 3194 error on itunes. Will there be a fix for ios6 to sort the no service issue out?

Since downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple, and you seem to have found another way to do so, this might be the reason for your problem.
Sorry, but problems with jailbroken devices can't be discussed here, due to the Terms of Use.
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

How can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?

how can i activate iphone 4 on ios6 without a sim card?i upgraded mu iphone to ios but the iphone is factory locked so i can not activate it with a sim card because i dont have the original sim card.is another way to do it?

You cannot do anything without a sim for the carrier the iPhone is locked to. With that you can attempt to restore using the recovery mode described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 but note that if the previous owner installed an Apple ID and password and turned on Settings > iCloud > Find My Phone, you will never get it to work without the Apple ID and password. That is the Activation Lock, an anti-theft protection system.

Vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

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.

HT201210 How can I activate iPhone 3GS?

How can I activate iPhone 3GS? I cant activate iPhone 3GS in Maldives. I activated iPhone 4.So what can I do?

Ask your brother if the iPhone was jailbroken or hacked?
Do you remember if the app Cydia appeared on the iPhone?
Google may provide some assistance.
Server temporarily unavailable generally means the iPhone was
previously hacked or jailbroken. Terms of Service for the forum

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?

Can't activate iPhone 3gs

I have an iphone 3gs, and i updated a latest version 6.01, and now when i updated that, i can't connect my iphone to iTunes, and activate it. what should i do

Google may provide some direction. Terms of Use for this forum
prohibit discussion of jailbroken iPhones.
Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify. Be advised some jailbreaks
prevent a legitimate unlock from succeeding.
Contact the jailbreak community. They support their software, don't
they?

This happens to iPhone which is unofficially unlocked. Nobody here can tell you the carrier to which your iPhone was locked.

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.

Well, it's a hacked and the update locks it back to the original carrier. If officially unlocked, updates will not lock it back.
Do you know only the carrier can officially unlock iPhone, not even Apple can do that let alone some website?
Well cannot help hacked iPhone in this forum.

Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?

Can't Synq iPhone 3GS Calendars after installing iOS6, any suggestions?
I'm all mac-based and followed the instructions for the upgrade to iOS6 software for iPhone but now my calendars won't synq. When I connect to iTunes and run the synq process, it gets stuck on the Calendar step and will not finish the synq process. I have to either wait for it to quit or force it to quit. Additionally, when I try to log a new event or meeting onto the Calendar on the iPhone, it will lock up and quit the app. I then have to shut down the iPhone to get it to open again but it just locks up again when I try to log a new event. Any suggestions? I'm tempted to do a back up and reinstall but don't want to risk any data loss.

Hi there,
I am using Rogers, which does support tethering.
The iPhone does not show up in the list of devices in the Bluetooth preference panel. It fails at the Pairing step of the Bluetooth setup assistant.
Cheers!

I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS6, I am now frozen on backing up to iCloud. HELP! What can I do?

I have updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS6 and now my phone is stuck at backing up to iCloud! What can I do? I do not want to lose any data.

Try resetting the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
You will not lose any data as a result of the resets.
