I have iPhone 3GS, if I install iOS 4.3.5. will it be locked again?

The ONLY place can unlock an iphone is the carrrier to which it is locked and ONLY if they offer that service.
For example, AT&T in the U.S. does not unlock any iphones at all.
You can buy an unlocked iphone from the Apple Store now, but you cannot get a locked phone unlocked in the U.S.

Iphone 3GS crashed after installing iOS 5. Hard reset doens't work. I keep seeing on the screen the iTunes-logo and USB stick. What can I do now?

my screen went black with the iTunes log and USB stick on after iTunes took a reserve copy.

Your iPhone is in recovery mode. See this support message about how to continue. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

You can not install iOS 5. It is no longer signed by Apple. You can only install the current version of iOS. For a 3GS, that's 6.1.3.
However... if you have 4.2.1 on your phone, odds are it is not a 3GS, it is a 3G. If that's the case, you've reached the end of the road for that. It can not run anything higher than 4.2.1.

Iphone 3gs crashed after installing new ios update

Please help. I just installed the newest ios update to my daughters iphone 3gs. It installed successfully, i thought. Then about 10 minutes later it said verifying update. It went off and now tries to come back on and the apple icon flashes for a few seconds and goes back off. I have tried a hard reset (both home and off buttons held down) and it does the same thing:( Please help me!

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy... Perform a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

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.

Usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from I Tunes what i have to do?

If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

thank you in advance.

Your suggestion worked perfectly. I can't believe there is nothing in any of the instructions I have seen online at the Yahoo and Apple help sites about the making sure the right default account is checked. I don't think I was even aware there was a "default account" setting. Thank you so much.

An iPhone 3GS can go to iOS 6.0.1, the latest available iOS. and you do that via iTunes. You need iTunes version 10.7
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
However, the iPhone 3G can only go 4.2.1.

IPhone 3GS app stuck installing - can't be deleted

I purchased a Tavelocity app for my iPad that requires iOS7. When I later went to use my 3GS iPhone (iOS v 6.1.6) I discovered that it was attempting to install the Travelocity app on the iPhone. It is now stuck in a "waiting" mode and cannot be deleted. When I press the Home button the app does not display an "X" to be deleted. When I connect to iTunes it shows the app in the right panes representing my iPhone, but not in the list to the left. Therefore, I cannot select it to be removed when I sync. I have searched the web for solutions but none have worked. Why would my iPhone 3GS attempt to install an app that requires iOS7 and what can I do to remove this app from my iPhone? Ever since this happened, my battery life has reduced significantly and if I attempt to do anything that requires a lot of power it crashes. Can someone please recommend a solution? I don't know if this is related to the problem I described above, but after downloading and installing updates to other apps from the App Store app, when I select to see the Purchased apps, it attempts to display them but is unable to do so. The list is blank.

Only photos taken by iPhone can be deleted normally, the ones synced via iTunes require a new photo sync.
Create a empty folder on your computer.
Connect device to iTunes.
Choose "sync photos".
Choose the empty folder you created.
Start sync.
Done.
