my iphone 3gs could not activate after update version

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

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

    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?

    You can only purchase apps and other media for the county's sore in which yu are located. You account, included payment method, also must be associated with that country.

    Typically 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.

    i will really appreciate some help.
    thanks.

    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?

  • IPhone 3GS Will Not Activate After Restore

    Hello,
    Full story:
    I purchased an iPhone 3GS 3 years ago locked to the O2 network UK.
    Throughout the years this phone has been jailbroke and unlocked on numerous ios versions.
    I have decided to fully restore my phone so I can take advantage of the 6.1.3 update and realise that the phone will be locked back to O2.
    I have bought an O2 pay and go sim in preperation and have fully restored the iphone.
    I progress through the configuration menus at the beginning and the phone is picked up by itunes but after a while of trying to activate the screen says:
    [quote]Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.
    If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support[/quote]
    As stated the phone is connected to iTunes already, aswell as WiFi, and the O2 sim card is in the phone.
    Can anyone please assist as to why this is happening as an hour ago the phone was working fine (pre restore) and now this.
    Many thanks in advance
    D4

    The hack used to unlock it has rendered it unable to activate at all. Apple's servers can detect the hack and have disabled activation. Even on the carrier it was originally locked to. You will have to contact O2 and see if they will authorize a legitimate unlock.
    There is no other advice we can offer. You have forfeited all rights to support by hacking and jailbreaking the phone.

  • IPhone 3gs will not activate after restore, NEVER HACKED/JAILBROKEN! Help!

    I've recently tried to update to the newest firmware, And my iPhone 3gs, Which has, and I will add emphasis, Never Been Hacked or Jailbroken! , Messed up and I had to factory reset the device. All wen't well with the restore, until I attempted to Activate said device, to which it stated it could not connect to the server to activate the phone! So, I attempted to do it the iTunes way, and yet again, It could not connect to the server.
    I have the latest version of iTunes, Tried it on multiple computers on the home network, also tried it on a completely different network, every time, the same answer.
    And to top it all off, My "backup" on iTunes that I did every week to save my pictures/music/videos, in case of this type of event, Has also been completley erased.
    I am at a huge loss, I have no idea what to do! I hope someone can help.

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.

  • IPhone 3GS does not activate after upgrade to iOS 5.1

    I never had any issues upgrading the iphone 3GS in the past. Last January I got my iphone upgrade to iPhone 4S, which made my 3GS redundant, so I had asked Vodafone uk to get it unlocked for me so that I can use it with other networks. Vodafone sent the information to apple and got the iphone unlocked for me. The OS was 4.1 then. A few days ago I came to India on my business trip for 4 weeks and inserted an indian SIM and it worked fine. but just yesterday I tried to upgrade it to iOS 5.1 through itunes and it got stuck in recovery mode then I tried to restore it and found that it has indeed loaded the iOS 5.1 as it asked me questions relating to language and country and tried to access wifi for iCloud. But it has got stuck just there and says no SIM inserted.
    Please help .....

    This indicates that the phone was carrier locked and had been 'hacked' to unlock it. Updating the phone has re-locked it to the original carrier.
    ONLY the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Not all do so. Contact the carrier and find out what their policy is.
    If it's locked to AT&T, you may as well sell it and buy a new phone. AT&T will not unlock iPhones for any reason.

  • IPhone 3GS will not activate after IOS5 update it says there is no SIM

    I tried updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS5 and it is saying the activation server is temporarily unavailable and then iTunes says there is no SIM but there is.

    Here's what you do
    1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
    2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
         a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
         b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
         c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
    3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
    4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
    5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
    6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
    You're welcome
