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.

    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.

    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.

  • IPhone 3GS after updating Ios 6.1.3 cannot be activated

    iPhone 3GS after updating Ios 6.1.3 cannot be activated. When I connected my iPhone to iTunes on PC, iTunes said that there was no SIM card on iPhone. I also took out the SIM Card and took in the SIM Card, but it wasn't working. I activated iPhone through WIFI but it said that the server was temporarily not available. I tried again more and more times but nothing's changed. Please help me.

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

    That's because it was jailbroken, either now or in the past.  We cannot provide support for jailbroken phones here.

    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.

    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.

    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?
