Disable your antivirus and firewall.
If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

Ask your brother if the iPhone was jailbroken or hacked?
Do you remember if the app Cydia appeared on the iPhone?
Google may provide some assistance.

Well, it's a hacked and the update locks it back to the original carrier. If officially unlocked, updates will not lock it back.
Do you know only the carrier can officially unlock iPhone, not even Apple can do that let alone some website?
Well cannot help hacked iPhone in this forum.

I can,t activate iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2

I can,t activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade 6.1.2.Now what i can do

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=>Carrier?

Can I activate a 3GS without a SIM card installed?

I have an old 3GS that I want to restore to factory settings. I gave it to a friend and they tried unlocking the phone online without success. They gave me the phone back, but now I can't even use it for an iPod or games or anything as I need to restore it. The question is do I need to have a SIM card to get the phone to open passed the activation point, even if I don't want to use it as a phone?

Hi TipsfromAB,
To activate an iPhone that you intend to use without a wireless plan, you do need a SIM card temporarily for the initial activation. You may find the following article helpful:

Can't activate iPhone 3gs

I have an iphone 3gs, and i updated a latest version 6.01, and now when i updated that, i can't connect my iphone to iTunes, and activate it. what should i do

Contact the wireless provider to which the iPhone is locked to see

Contact the jailbreak community. They support their software, don't
they?

Can't activate second iPhone- HELP!

Bought 2 new iPhone on Saturday, one for me, one for my wife. Sunday night, I activated my phone first (porting over from Sprint/Nextel) in 15 minutes. Tried to activate the second phone and received the message "Your activation requires additional time to complete." Okay.... figured it might take awhile from everything I've read on forum discussions about porting.
Connected the second phone on Monday morning and got the same message. Tried a few time, same message. Called AT & T. Basically told that there was "some delay in porting" from someone in the "porting department." Was told to try later that night because she said that my wife's phone number (for the second phone) was appearing on the account.
Okay. Tried later that night and got the same message- "Your activation requires additional time to complete."
This morning, after connecting the phone to iTunes and getting the same message, I got on the phone to AT&T and, after working my way through two reps who really couldn't tell me anything further, I was connected to a rep who really sounded like she knew what she was talking about.
After explaining the entire situation to me, she said that it sounded like "the sim card in my wife's brand new iPhone was burnt." That was her word- "burnt." So, I asked her how could that be since the only thing I had done since I brought the phone home two days ago was to connect it to my computer and connect to iTunes. She didn't have an answer, but said that at this point, the phone should be activating and, since it's not, they would give me a new sim card, no charge, to install in the phone. First, she asked if I wanted to go out to an AT&T store and when I told her I really didn't have the time, she said that someone from AT&T would call me tomorrow about mailing a card out to me. I asked her if I was the first lucky one to have this problem and she laughed and said, "No," actually we've had several of these problems."
Here's my question... or, should I say questions????
First... since the phone has never been activated since I bought it in person at an Apple store, should I just take it back to that store and tell them what happened? Is it possible that the phone just came with a bad sim card (I didn't think to ask the AT&T rep that question, I was so tired.)
Would they just take the phone back and give me another one?
Also... has anyone else had this specific problem while trying to immediately activate a second phone?
Would appreciate any help anyone can offer... thanks.

Yes,I'd return to the Apple Store to have a Genius take a look at it.
"Would they just take the phone back and give me another one?"
Quite possibly.

I just restore my used ipad mini and I can't activate it! Help me!

I just buy used ipad mini from Saudi and after I get back to my country, I restore it using recovery mode! It still need old owner email account assword. The problem is I can't contact the previous owner because email I delivered for him/her was failed to deliver! It seems he/she deleted his/her email account! Now, my ipad mini are useless! Please help me! Is Apple Store Service can make it activate for me?

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.
