How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of (connect to iTunes) mode?

How do I get a factory unlocked iPhone 3GS out of recovery (connect to itunes) mode?
Once the iPhone 3GS is in DFU mode and plugged into iTunes, the restore and update process begins. The restores process are as followed:
Extracting software > Preparing iPhone for restore (blank screen) > Preparing iPhone software for restore > Restoring iPhone software > Verifying iPhone restore > Restoring iPhone firmware > The iPhone cannot be restored. An unknown error occurred (1).
I clicked on the more information tab and was taken to a website with some troubleshooting. I did what they suggested (based on the error #) and still no luck. I’ve tried to restore and update about 10 times now but the same message keeps coming up at the end. What should I do now?
P.S: I have the latest version of iTunes (11), my windows is up to date etc ...

How to activate a Factory unlocked Iphone 4s

When I buy a Verizon IPhone 4s I am able to get a SIM unlock but this is not a unlocked Phone. I am not able to use for example
a AT&T SIM or use is on other CDMA Carriers. It states on the Apple Web-Site if I buy a Factory unlocked phone I am not able to use it on Verizon. This makes absolute no sense. I would like to stay with Verizon (customer for over 10 Years) but since I am traveling all over the world I would like to order a real World Phone.
Does anyone know how to activate a Factory unlocked IPhone 4s on Verizon.

The Verizon iPhone 4s is a real World Phone...what you are wanting to do is have Verizon service and use GSM networks while in the US...or at least that what it sounds like since you state that you are having trouble using another U.S. carrier's sim card on your phone. You can't do that. But when you are overseas you can use a local carrier's simcard there if you have the Verizon sim unlocked. As far as the Apple unlocked device that can't be used with Verizon...it makes sense because that device is natively a GMS device...so it will work unlocked on other GSM networks but not on VZW's CDMA. In general, it has always been my understanding that unlocked devices (not just sim's) are for use n GSM networks and not CDMA's.

How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for first time

How do I activate factory unlocked iphone 5 for first time?Should i connect to itunes?Or should I put the sim first and then ON the device?Pls help me

Yes.
Insert the SIM card and power the iPhone on to find out. Nothing bad can happen if you can't and if you can't for some reason, connect the iPhone to iTunes.

how to identify a factory unlocked iphone 4s without taking it of the box

The model number is NOT a reliable indicator of whether or not the phone is locked. The only exception might be models originating in countries where ALL iPhones are unlocked, or where the carriers do not offer unlocking and Apple does not sell unlocked phones (e.g. India and Japan respectively).

Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM

Hello,
I am planning to buy iPhone 5S. I am a blackberry 9900 users
Can i use/ activate factory unlocked iPhone 5S in india without SIM (Purchasing in India).
I need time some time to transfer data from BlackBerry to iPhone 5S.
Thanks.

Yes. it's Factory unlocked iPhone 5S gold.
Problem is...
i have one sim (big for for BB9900). And iPhone 5S uses smaller...
Vodafone India will give me free nano sim, i will take 4-5 hours to work that SIM....
My biggest concern is Address Book (Phone book), Password Keeper (password manager), Task Jot (GTD app)
I need to manually enter all this data in iPhone 5S, there is no standard converter or transfer tool...
existing ones freak out and miss lot of data....
i will first enter all data and get a nano sim. this will take more than 2 weeks...
so i thought if iPhone 5S can be switched on then i can enter data in free time.

How to activate my factory unlocked iPhone without connecting to iTunes.

My brother just bought a factory unlocked iPhone 4 because he is moving to Italy for 3 years and he just got out there got a GSM Microsim from WIND a local carrier and after entering the sim pin it keeps saying unable to activate. He is on a wifi network as it says for him to be yet it still isn't working. I know if he plugged it in to iTunes it would work but he left his MacBook pro here in the states until he needs it in January. If anyone could help that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

If it's running iOS 5 it should be able to activate without the need to plug it in to iTunes. There may be an issue with the WiFi network he's on at the moment. Assuming he has a data plan, he should be able to activate it over 3G, I believe. Early on after iOS 5 was released, there were a number of reports in the US that people on AT&T were not able to activate their phones after updating over the Internet (WiFi) but WERE able to activate them while connected to the AT&T 3G network.
If he can't do it over 3G, have him try another WiFi network. Without knowing the details of the network he's using, it's hard to offer advice. Hotels and public hotspots may not be the best place to try it as they rarely (in my experience) have things configured and working well. It may well be that the network he's on wants him to authinticate and agree to their terms (usually done in the browser) before it will allow an outside connection. That's not going to work well when he's trying to activate the phone.

How do i erase factory unlocked iPhone 4s

I just got a 4S-32GB so Ill be selling my 20-day old 4S-16GB. Both are factory unlocked bought from Apple shipped from Shenzhen iphones. How do i erase the old one completely in order to sell it?
Im afraid I might lock it up or something...

Remove the SIM before performing the re-set as advised by wjosten. There are reports that if you do the reset with an active SIM installed, it will tie iMessage to the phone number of the SIM that's in it at the time.
Better yet, disable iMessage, then remove the SIM, then perform the erase all. Just to be safe.

Can I get a factory unlocked iPhone 6 directly from Apple

The Apple Store offers the 5S unlocked and contract free but the 6 just contract free (T Mobile SIM).
Do you know why?

When a new phone is released and demand is high, unlocked phones are usually not released for several weeks. Why? We wouldn't know as we're all just users here.

How to identify factory unlocked iPhone 5?

I'm going abroad for a while and wanted to get a factory unlocked iPhone 5S before leaving, but it appears that the factory unlocked iPhones won't be available for a 1-2 months. So I've decided to purchase a used iPhone 5 instead. However, when looking at listings for used iPhones, I noticed that there are numerous descriptions when it comes to "unlocked" iPhones. It seems that there are carrier unlocked phones, meaning the iPhone was once locked to a particular cell phone carrier in the US and was later unlocked by the owner with the assistance of the carrier, or there are iPhones that came unlocked from Apple. I want to buy the later, not the former. However, some people do not disclose whether the phone is "carrier unlocked" or "factory unlocked" in their advertisement, while it seems that others are being purposely deceptive. Is there a way to definitively identify whether an iPhone 5 is factory unlocked, meaning it came unlocked from Apple? Are there particular model numbers that specify a factory unlocked iPhone 5? I called Apple and the reps could not give me this information. It seems that there should be model numbers that specify whether an iPhone 5 came factory unlocked when purchased. Thanks for your help.

Here's the numbers for 4s, when I get a second I'll do the same for the 5;
