HT4623 problem activating my phone after updating it

i have an iphone 3gs and i got it unlocked in a shop and the man said i wouldnt be able to update my software using my phone so i tried it on itunes it said updated but now it is saying it couldnt reset my phone and i tried again and it worked but now its saying it cant activate my phone so i cant use it at all? and also its saying there is no sim in the phone when there is ? i tried removing it and putting it back in but still saying that there isnt a sim? anyone know what to do

I have the same exact problem. My password is also Greek. I have tried everything from substituting letters to putting in generic passwords (like "password," "admin," "master," etc.) and ended up disabling my phone temporarily. I can't make phone calls either (obviously), though I have not tried receiving them.

    cannot activate phone after updating

    it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

  • HT4623 Help with restoreing phone after update to software

    I followed instructions to update my iPhone 4 software to version 7.0.3., including first backing up the phone to iTunes.  Once software update was downloaded, I followed instructions to restore everything from iTunes and according to the message on my phone - it was restoring.  However, when it appears to be completeI cannot use my phone, it continuously asks me to set up my phone and back to the message about restoring from iTunes.  Not sure what to do now - any suggestions?

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
    hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
    original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
    carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
    if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    Where did you acquire this iPhone?
    What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
    Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Unauthorized modification of iOS

    fair enough.  No need for any unnecessary posts either.  You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
    In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

    There is nothing you can do. That is the Activation Lock that Apple has implemented tout down on theft of their iPhones.
    Most likely the iPhone is stolen.
    It is totally worthless to you.

  • How do I get my information back on my phone after updating itunes

    how do I get my information back on my phone after updating I Tunes.  I up dated it this morning and when it was complete, all my contacts and my pics and my screen savers and sounds were from my daughters phone. I can not locate any of my information on my phone?

    All iTunes content they you have selected to be transferred to your existing iPhone - music/video/podcasts including 3rd party apps remain in your iTunes library on your computer. Photos transferred to your existing iPhone via the iTunes sync process also remain on your computer.
    If you are syncing contact info and calendar events with the Address Book and iCal on your Mac, this data also remains on your computer.
    You can sync multiple iPods and/or iPhones with the same iTunes library and iTunes account with each device having its own sync settings.
    When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on your computer, you will be prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone that has been synced with iTunes. After the backup for your existing iPhone is transferred to your new iPhone, this must be followed by a sync to transfer your selected iTunes content including 3rd party apps and any photos on your computer selected to be transferred to your iPhone. You select sync contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal under the Info tab for your new iPhone sync preferences and this data will be transferred to your new iPhone.
