  • Cannot activate my iphone 3gs

    cannot activate my iphone 3gs after restoring ios 6.1.3 it was factory unlocked mobile but it not activating i tried so many times to activate but it not activating

    That's because it was not legitimately unlocked. It was hacked.
    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

    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.

  • HT201407 i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed

    Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?

    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    A SIM is required to activate it.
    If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored.

  • 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?

  • HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

    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.

    i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    Sounds like your phone has locked back up to it's original phone carrier.
    Where did you buy this phone from?  Was it ever locked to a different phone carrier?
