HT4972 How do I update my iphone 3G firmware 4.2.1 to 4.3.5?
I can't get some apps on my 3GS iphone because it has the IOS 4.2.1 and the apps need the 4.3.5
I can I update this iphone? Please help!!
Sorry, but if you have an iPhone 3G, you cannot. iOS 4.2.1 is the final version an iPhone 3G can run. Confirm your actual model of iPhone here:

and if you have a 3GS - your post is contradictory, mentioning both the 3G and 3GS, post back and we'll go from there.
Regards.

How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
How do I update my iPhone 3G firmware but not to the latest version?
I currently am running 3.1 but would like to update it to the 4.1 version (not the latest 4.3 version). How do I do this? I have already gone online and downloaded the 4.1 firmware for iPhone 3G but not sure how to install it. I unzipped the file then tried to do the Shift>Update trick but none of the downloaded files could be selected. Am I doing something wrong?There is no official way to do what you want, that's why the files can't be selected. iOS 4.2.1 is the last officially signed firmware available for your phone. If you want to install any other firmware you'll have to go elsewhere for instructions as such cannot be discussed here, per this forum's terms of use, sorry.

Unfortunately the FB app now requires iOS 4.3. You're not the only 3G owner to face this. Your only option is to open Safari on your phone, go to facebook.com, sign into your account, then tap the share arrow at the bottom and choose Add to Home Screen. This will put a shortcut icon on your phone that will launch Safari and take you to your FB page.

How do I update my I phone 4s?
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Although the official Facebook app doesn't work with the iPhone 3G, there are some apps which claim they are compatible. Here are two you can try:
Friends Planet 2
Quickly for Facebook with Video Chat
There are a lot of apps and games which are compatible with your older device. You just need a tool to separate them from the incompatible apps.
Here is my favorite solution:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
And here are some things other people have suggested:
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version. -
I have tried through Itunes, butthat tells me that my OS is up to date (4.2.1) Unable to use some Apps as they require later OS. Also unable to receive/send picture messages for same reason. Apple web site not much help. HELP
The apps issue is the app developer's decision on what iOS to support, not Apple. The issue with send/receive picture messages is not with the inability to upgrade your iOS. How long have you been unable to send/receive picture messages? MMS has been available since iOS 3.1

Well, you're timing is perfect then Are you eligible for any upgrade pricing from your service provider?
I skipped over the iPhone 4s, and I am eligible for full upgrade pricing in almost exactly one month from yesterday, so I will be moving to an iPhone 5 next month. -
