HT201328 Hello, I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 12 hours by now!!!! I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns

Hello,
I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

Hello Ali Syed,
It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

If your iphone has been unofficially unlokced then it will indeed be locked when updated. Is this the case?

I updated my iPhone 3GS and i can't activate my phone

You can try, but despite what they'll tell you in the jailbreaking community, restoring the device does NOT always return the phone to factory condition, especially if the modem baseband has been altered. The vast majority of users have bricked their phones and have been left high and dry by the jailbreaking community.

My iPhone 4 appears with no service every day, i have to restarted and a few hours later again the same problem, Any other solution please???

This is almost always a symptom of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.
Where did you get the phone?

If the screen shows a plug going to itunes, then you have no choice, It's in recovery mode. You'll be given the chance to restore from a backup either from itunes or icloud.
I assume when you got the message to update (was this for the ios or update some apps?), that was before the device when dead. At any rate, doing a restore does not change the ios.

If your phone is in recovery mode, all data are gone. Connect the phone to iTunes on your computer and restore.

usually that means the iPhone was hacked to unlock it from the original carrier

I bought an unlocked Iphone 3GS, I needed to update Ios5 and restored the settings for that which was not authorised for unlocke, but after that iphone is not getting activate and no sim card insatlled error is there. i m using local sim card in Pakistan

You didn't buy an 'unlocked' iPhone 3GS - you bought a 'hacked' one.
Updating to iOS 5 removed the hack and the unofficial unlock.
All you can do is try to find out which network the phone is locked to and ask them if they can unlock it properly.
Otherwise, sell it or throw it away and buy an officially unlocked phone from an official source.

You may need to try this More than Once...
Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

HT201210 hi i did update my iphone 3gs it was successful but it says that i have no sim card in it

i did update my iphone 3gs it was successful but when it restart it doesnt know my simcard, anybody can help me

Your iPhone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it to use it on a different network. Now that you have updated the OS it has relocked to the original carrier. Call AppleCare and give them the serial and model numbers so they can tell you who it is locked to. Then contact that carrier and see if you can get the iPhone unlocked.

I just updated my iphone 3GS and my ipod was deleted from my phone and my laptop. any way to get it back?

I just updated my iphone 3GS on itunes. It deleted my ipod on the phone as well as in itunes. My music is still in the library, but no ipod under devices. Does anyone know what happened and how to get either or both back?

Did you fail to import your photos before updating? If so, then they are likely gone. You can try restoring from backup. If that fails then they are gone. You should regularly import photos to your computer, most especially before any update.
Did you fail to transfer any purchases on iphone ( that were not on your computer) to your computer before updating? If so, then you will have to redownload:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
