Can't activate my Iphone 3gs

Hello,
Yesterday I bought a Iphone 3gs with ios 6 on it, from somebody else.
Now I want to activate my Iphone with Wifi. That doesn't work. If I want to try it with itunes is also doesnt work
Thats What Iphone says about my Iphone.
Can somebody help me?

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.
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=>About=>Carrier?

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs. I instaled new version of ios 6.1.1. But i don't know the phone was oficcialy unlock or not oficcialy

    1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
    2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier.

    My IMEI is unlocked but I can't activate my iPhone 3GS 011950006982337

    ONLY the carrier the phone is locked to can legitimately authorize unlocking an iPhone.
    Your phone was hacked. Not legitimately unlocked.
    You can not get help here.
    Try google or buy a new, legitimately unlocked iPhone that you can use.

    Sounds like your phone has locked back up to it's original phone carrier.
    Where did you buy this phone from?  Was it ever locked to a different phone carrier?

  • After update on 6.0.1. I can't activate my iPhone 3gs.

    Hello,
    After update on 6.0.1. I can't activate my iPhone 3gs. The phone is unlocked from T-Mobile Germany.
    I tried activation via phone and via iTunes, with and without SIM card inserted.
    Every time iPhone show me a message: "Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    Any help is welcome.
    Thanks.

    No it is not hacked it is unlocked on this link: https://t-mobile-simlockportal.arvato-services-mocom.com/PUBSILO/.
    After unlocking I got message that they are sent request to Apple to "release" them, but after 10 days I can't activate them.

    What me do?! =((((
    Help me!!!
    AT&T are unlock my phone, official!!!

    1) Check your iTunes account.
    2) you have to be at your computer. Apple is very smart, the place you put your I'd or password is not near data base.
    3) make sure your ID and Password is correct. When type on the phone, if you don't check you might press the wrong key some time cases where people have long Neil.
    4) go to apple website n reset the I'd or password.

    sorry, but it sounds like your regional apple systems - activation server or network - are overload. you might wait or go to the next apple store.

  • Can't activate the iPhone 3GS after updating to iOS 5

    Hi All,
            I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and i got the setup screen for the language and region and eventually i can't activate the iPhone
    as the iTunes says " there is no sim card installed in the iphone that you are attempting to activate "
    However the iPhone is already unlocked and i've been using it with 4.3.3 and also 4.3.5 and it was absolutely fine.
    Now i keep rebooting it and removing the sim card (which is working on another handset alreay) and it says the same msg
    PLEASE HELP !!

    First off, if you're using stuff like Redsnow and Ultrasnow you have violated any kind of warranty you had. This is no longer Apple's problem so look for help elsewhere. Second, you should have known that if you try to upgrade an illegally jailbroken or unlocked phone with the stock apple update, you would lose both the unlock and jailbreak. Obviously you're baseband is messed up and if you flashed it with the iPad 6.15 baseband you're out of luck ever trying to update the iOS version legitimately since you can't undue a baseband flash. You should have known that before you started messing with it. So either get a legit contract with AT&T, sprint or Verizon or try to salvage your mess through a jailbreaking/unlocking forum. You won't get any help here my friend.

  • I can not activate my iphone 3gs

    I can not activate my iphone 3gs

    As gdgmacguy stated, you cannot get help from this Apple forum
    for a hacked iPhone.
    Google may provide some direction. Be advised that depending what
    software was used to hack your iPhone, a legitimate unlock may fail
    and further attempts to restore your iPhone may result in it becoming
    inoperative. Ask whoever jailbroke/hacked your iPhone for support.

  • Can I activate my iphone 3GS using an older version of itunes?

    I ordered an iphone 3GS on contract through t-mobile and I need to activate it but I have an slightly out of date itunes. My mac is running OSX 10.4 so I cannot get the latest version. Will I still be able to activate my iphone or can I get it activated in an Apple retail store?
