How to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3

how to upgrade iphone 3GS from 3.0.1 to 3.1.3
I dont want to upgrade it to 4.0 yet.
Just up to 3.1.3 from 3.0.1
how can i do it.

That's because Apple is no longer signing v3.1.3 nor any firmware other than iOS4. You could try following a downgrade to v3.1.3, see these:

This guide works for 3G but not 3GS, though there are some suggestions for 3GS users in there:

How to upgrade iphone 3gs ios3.1 to ios4.1/4.3

I have been trying to upgrade my iphone 3gs recently..
Unfortunately Itune keeps popping up the message box and stated that "There was a problem downloading the software for the iphone. The network connection timed out", It also required me to make sure that my network settings are correct and connection is active.
I am sure that all the network connection is working as I am still able to do other internet browsing..
I thought it was because my itune version was not updated to the latest version, so I downloaded and installed the latest itune version 10. I tried to upgrade my iphone after the installation was done and it still popped up the same message box again!!!
Can someone tell me what on earth is going on, please?? I am having problems at updating my other apps and also downloading some new apps which need ios4 to support them all....
I appreciated for any suggestions or solutions here, thanks a lot!!

How to upgrade iphone 3gs software

I have problem with my whatsapp and it mentioned that I need a newer os to upgrade. Fyi I using iphone 3GS ver 3.1.2

If you do so, you will get IOS 6 and that makes my iphone 3GS very slow. My question in relation to the problem surewinn describes is, is there a way to download IOS 4.3. If so, the problem with Whatsapp is solved, I think.

Upgrading iPhone 3Gs OS 4

How to Upgrading iPhone 3Gs currently version to OS 4?

Thank you very much, wjosten
This was the one straight forward clear answer I have been searching for a while now.
I suppose that you have tried this and know by experience that it works. It seems that you know what you´re talking about anyway. And I was assuming that it should work the way you describe, even though it doesn´t say clearly anywere.
And if I´m not mistaking, if I loose my contact info, I could always sync it back through MobileMe, right?
Thanks again. Looking forward to the update:)

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now there's 21GB of Others. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

Just upgraded iPhone 3GS to IOS5. Now in itunes I can see there's 21GB of Others. I have no idea what is that. I didnt have that before the upgrade. How to get rid of it? It's taken up all the space on the phone.

I posted a fix for this temporary issue earlier but here it is in short:
The memory "hog" that is "others" seems to be the OS as it's installing. It seems to want more than 12GB and you may get stuck at the point where iTunes tries to load everything back on and the iPhone has run out of space. What you need to to is un-check the "sync" box at the apps, music, podcasts and other sections, then click the button to sync iTunes with iPhone. This will result in iTunes deleting all the data it restored, but you'll put it back later. Once you caused the deletion of most of the data, iOS5 will resume installing and then "magically" shrink to less than 1GB. Then you can place check marks back in the boxes and re-sync all your apps and other data. You will have plenty or memory left.
I followed the above procedure and my iPhone works perfectly.
Hope this helps.

how can upgrade my 3gs to ios 5

Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device. It will be updated to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for an iPhone 3GS.

Well I spoke too soon.
The update was successful, but now I cannot connect to the 3GS data network.
Cannot get email and cannot open a page in Safari.
+"Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding."+
+"Cannot Get Mail+
+THe mail server is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."+
Email and internet work fine on WiFi.........no data using 3GS network.
Looks like I will have to revert back to old OS.
