Hi
Just call up apple care of your country and tell them your IEME number. They will let u know whether the iphone is factory unlocked or not.
If its factory unlocked you can update the firmware and phone would not get locked.
So just call them, they will help you.

You can backup only your settings, messages, recent calls, apps and Camera Roll in your new iTunes.
Your photo albums and music has to be on your computer to sync them back to your iPhone.

I've reset it over a million times! But Nothing happens. and when i called apple they said my serial number wasnt covered. but i got it from Ebay and idk what the owner has. i just want to replace it. Can I Do That.?
Have you tried connecting it to your computer and restoring the iPod via iTunes?
If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod. For recovery mode see:

Hello
I have an iphone 3Gs, no longer on contract and unlocked by network provider. I've tried updating the software and it has gone back to factory settings, but it's telling me that it cannot activate the phone due to activation server is unavailable. Is there anything I can do to get the phone working again?Did you get the 'Congratulations. Your iPhone is now unlocked." message?
Was your iPhone hacked or jailbroken prior to the unlock attempt?

I have an Iphone 3gs and today I had taken some pictures and my battery was 8% i was looking at the few I had took. Then my phone died but when I plugged it into the charger and got it on I went to upload the pictures but they were deleted! All my other pictures that i have taken are still there, it just deleted the ones I took a couple of hours before it died!
I was just wondering if there is anyway of getting them back at all? and how common is this?Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.

I have an iphone 3gs. I recently got unlimited texting added to my att plan. I can attach images to anyone who has an iPhone with os 5 (imessaging)). Why can't I attach images to people who I text non-imessage?
Your carrier determines what you can send in a text message, Apple has no control over it as SMS and MMS are completely carrier-based

Return the phone and get your money back. That phone was hacked and is now permanently damaged. -
I have lost IMEI number and WIFI while downgrading on Iphone 3GS 8GB.Would I get back IMEI while resotring?
Since you attempted to downgrade the phone, you have no warranty and your ability to get support here or from Apple has been forfeited.
You're on your own. A Missing IMEI is generally unfixable. Buy a new phone.
