How to reset by iphone 3gs to factory settings?

I need to reset the phone to return to my friend who lent it to me, please advise how I do this please

Turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account. Then: Settings>General>reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Then give it to your friend.
You need to FIRST turn off iMessage & FaceTime, or the device will still be associated with your Apple ID. DO NOT erase until you first do this.

  • TS3212 how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery ?

    how to reset my iphone 3gs without power of batery?

    Your phone has "told" you it was dying; you didn't listen.  You ignored the broken power button, you ignored the frequent crashing, and now your battery is probably dead.  And despite this, you never thought to import the "important" pictures and data off your phone?
    If you cant turn on the phone or get it recognized in iTunes, there's no way to access the data.

  • I had to reset my Iphone 3G to factory settings yesterday, how do I retrieve lost apps and email?

    I backed up to my MacPro and synced my Iphone but somehow when I was syncing and ITunes popped up, it froze my Iphone and I had to restore to factory settings just to get my Iphone to work again.
    how can I get my lost emails back and also apps  I paid for, as for some reason it is showing what my Iphone looked like back in 2011 in terms of what contacts, apps, photos and emails I had. It also only shows text messages from back in 2011. I need those text messages back.
    Thanks

    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to preferences.  On the Devices tab is a list of your available backups.  Unless a newer one is listed your can't get you information back.  If a newer backup is listed, do the following:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences.  On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
    When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
    Your apps should be in your iTunes library and can be synced back to your phone.  If they aren't, redownload them in iTunes for free (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519) and sync them back to your phone.

  • IPhone 3GS to factory settings

    Hello
    I have iPhone 3GS purchased from Singapore while I live in india
    I jailbroked my iPhone and now want back in factory settings
    As suggested by different blogs I tried it by restoring using iTunes but that left iPhone useless until it is jailbroked again
    Please suggest what should be done to bring it back to factory settings from india itself ?
               Thank you .

    i think the problem is to reset an iphone you really want to back it up first
    but of course because its jail broken you cant/dont want to connect it to itunes
    but normally go into general and reset it

    Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    There may be third-party software that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize entry into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause these errors. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet size modification for assistance or follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
    Verify that access to ports 80 and 443 are allowed on your network.
    Verify that communication to albert.apple.com or photos.apple.com is not blocked by a firewall, or other Internet security setting.
    Discard the .ipsw file, open iTunes and attempt to download the update again. See the steps underAdvanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations.
    Restore your device while connected to a different network.
    Restore using a different computer.
    If you don't remember your iPhone's Restrictions passcode, you must restore the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup.
