HT4623 why i cant activate after update my ip 3gs

why i cant activate after update3gs  to 6.0.1 , how can i acivated  ;(

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?

    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.

    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.

  • HT4623 my iphone cant  charge after updating it

    after updating my iphone ,it went to low battery after that it can't charge

    Use an certified Apple charging cable - either Apple brand or one approved by Apple.  Knock-off cables won't work with iOS 7.

    Since we don't have a crystal ball, its very hard for anyone to tell you why it might not activate if you don't provide details...
    What happens when you try?  What error message do you get?  Was the phone previously jailbroken or unlocked?

    It sounds a lot like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated.
    Was it?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • HT1414 I dont know why bt ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with my any sim card, so is there any way to fix this. Im from India

    I dont know why but ever since I updated my iphone 3gs 16GB to the new 5.1.1 firmware I am unable to activate it with any sim, so is there any way to fix this please? Is there a solution to activating my Iphone 3gs on this firmware? I purchase this iPhone from USA and Im using it in India. Please help me...

    This means the iPhone was hacked to be unlocked. The 3GS was not sold in the US as officially unlocked.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes that was hacked to be unlocked or installing a firmware update on an iPhone that was hacked to be unlocked re-locks the iPhone to the carrier the iPhone was sold as carrier locked when new. In this case, re-locked with ATT.

    in iMovie, I can’t see my iPhoto videos in the event library. Why ? this is after updating to 10.7.4

  • "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5. Living in Canada with Rogers service provider.

    Any solutions yet?
    "No SIM card installed in the iPhone you are attempting to activate" after updating to iOS 5.

    Its an IMEI issue.  In my case, about a year ago, after originally purchasing my iP4 from AT&T store, I had a prox. sensor issue.  Went to the Apple Store, they replaced the phone.  Here is where it all stems from.  The IMEI of the new phone was never updated in AT&T/Carriers systems.  For iOS updates prior to iOS5, this was not an issue.  My phone did its iOS updates along the way with no probs.  However, when I updated to iOS5, the firmware did not match the IMEI with what AT&T/carrier had.  When I went to Apple Store for the issue about 3 days ago and was given a new phone....again....the new phones IMEI was never updated with AT&T/carrier.  I then again attempted the upgrade to iOS5 with the new phone and iOS5 bricked that one also.  Today, at the store, we tried 3 replacements with same outcome.
    So, after 4 hours and 3 replacement phones with Apple Store Tech (BTW totally gobsmacked), we solved the issue.  Luckily, due to iPhone 4S launch, there was an AT&T guy there with a computer tied to the AT&T network to work along with us.  The issue is......once the IMEI's on carrier account and phone do not match, iOS5 shuts down the sim card reader within phone.....forever. How to reverse this?......this is a question Apple needs to come up with, because with my case, they have 5 "bricked" phones. 
    What solved the issue was to get a new phone with iOS4.3.5, new SIM from carrier/AT&T, have carrier/AT&T (in their system) change/match the IMEI to the new phone and activate new SIM.  Then, do iOS5 upgrade. 
    Simple and makes total sense..........however........there is an internal firmware (Apple Security??) issue that bricks the phone once IMEI's dont match. 
    I am now on iOS5.....no problems......so far.  Good luck to all others.

    The original carrier was Rogers i bought it in Canada, but i used it in italy too with another sim card, without jailbreak.
    I think that after updating it has been re-locked, but it doesn't work with the original sim too.
    The message that i get on the iPhone is:
    "Impossible to activate iPhone because server are not avaiable..."
    On my Mac it say that i have to insert a valid sim card...
    If it was legitimately unlocked then updating it will not re-lock it. It will be re-locked only if it was unlocked by hacking it.
    That error message, however, does not mean it is locked. It means that iTunes could not verify the locked state because it could not communicate with Apple's activation database at gs.apple.com. There are common reasons that the server connection fails:
    1. Your router, antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
    2. You don't have a WiFi connection if you updated on the phone and not with a computer.
    3. If you updated using your computer and it was used to hack, unlock or jailbreak some iOS device in the past (not necessarily the iPhone with the problem) and the network database on the computer is corrupted.

    This is most likely because it was jailbroken.  In which case, your phone is now permanently disabled.
