HT201407 Why i cant activate my iphone 3gs?

i already restore my iphone. but i cant activate it even i use wifi and itunes. what will i do to activate my iphone?

Sounds like your iPhones were unofficially unlocked through a hack/jailbreak. Call AppleCare and tell them you only want to check who your iPhone is locked with (otherwise it is a $30 charge) then give them the model and serial number. Contact the cell provider name they give you and see what their unlock process is and if you qualify.

  • Does anyone know why I cant Activate my Iphone 3gs?

    Dpes anyone know why I cant activate my iphone 3gs,it says it cant be activated because the activation server is unavaliable

    If the phone was previously unlocked by an unauthorized method, it was re-locked to its original carrier when you updated.  It will now acivate and operate only with that carrier, using their SIM card.

    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 cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

    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.

  • HT4623 why i cant activate my iphone?

    why i cant activate my iphone after update?

    It depends what kind of error you are getting
    If this is a 2nd hand phone, there is no telling what has happened to it in the past, whether it has been jailbroken, 'unofficially' unlocked or and what its 'Activation Profile' on Apple's systems is.
    The last is usually what causes issues. You phone could be locked to another carrier, or even an entirely different geographical region.
    Best step from here is to take it to an Apple Retail Store & have them look up its Activation Profile & see if they can DFU restore it to bring it back to life.

  • HT1937 why i cant activate my iphone

    why i cant activate my iphone

    i heard your problem and i had one similar to it.
    i got a new ipod,
    i plugged it in with a chord from a dollar store,
    i was completely frusterated that the laptop would not recognize it.
    after about a day, i changed the chord and...
    the thing that told you to activate your ipod came up on itunes
    if the thing popped up and your iphone wont load... than i dont know what to say.

  • Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

    why i cant activate my 3gs after update to ios6?

    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.
