Iphone 3gs dead- help!!! see more details below.

I have a iphone 3gs- I had the old operating system so I tried to upgrade it.My phone is unlocked and jail broken.
I tried to plug it in itunes and see if i can restore it. The computer/itunes did pick up that an iphone was connected and said I need to restore it. When the restore finished, it said ''the software for the iphone was corrupted during download'' I tried the restore couple of times, no luck.
I tried to charge it from a wall charger and from the computer as well. Still no luck.
I tried the hard reboot as well- hold the on/off button and the centre button together for a min...no luck here again!
Any ideas? Thanking you in advance!

When I bought the phone from someone, I got it that way- didnt know all this technicalities of jail breaking then. Now I know!!!
Hence, i'm trying to restore the phone, and bring it back to factory settings so that it becomes un-jail broken!
Thanks for replying! will follow your link ans see what happens!

Also, check your hosts file to verify that it's not blocking iTunes from communicating with the update server. See iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > Mac OS X > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you have software used to perform unauthorized modifications to the iOS device, uninstall this software prior to editing the hosts file to prevent that software from automatically modifying the hosts file again on restart.

Iphone 3GS dead

HELP MY IPHONE 3GS IS TOTALLY DEAD tried all no success ..

So do I and unless its a recent purchase from O2 or whomever, you will either have to ask them to send it away which takes ages even if they agree to do it, or make a trip to an actual store.
Its not that far to an Apple store unless you live in Stornoway

Iphone 3GS Dead maybe...

I read through different threads about people with dead iphones and only came on when doing the hard reset. If an iPhone is in this dead state should it still be recognised by a computer or display charging screen?
Reason i ask is that my iPhone 3GS could have a dodgy power button i had trouble with it for quite a while sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. This could be a reason why the hard reset will not work for me. At moment i iPhone doesn't get recognised by computer or display any charging screen.
Thanks, If the power button is the culprit is there any other way to do hard reset? or fix a power button without opening the case?

ok different quesiton lol if booked an appointment at the genius bar and told them the power button is not working so i cant hard reset it to turn it on, would they open the iphone and check the power button there and then ? or send it off?

HT201210 I have got error number 11 on itunes when trying to restore my iphone 3gs, please help.

Please help, I am trying to restore my iphone 3gs, but i keep getting errors like 11 which is not listed in this site and i alos get error 1 and -1. please help.

Did you manage to fix the issue?
I have exactly the same issue as described above : I installed the update 5.1.1 on my iphone 3GS and since then, I can not turn it on anymore. In Itunes, I get an error 37 when I am doing a restauration and it stops.
This error has nothing to do with firewall : I tried to restore the phone on several computers, including in an Apple reseller and it did not work anywhere.
I spent several hours on phone with the hotline from Apple which arrived to the conclusion that it is a hardware issue, but the phone was working perfectly fine until I installed this update!

I have a problem with iphone 3gs please help

ok my iphine was jail broken and i restored it as it was and now its stuck on recovery mode and i cant restore it everytime i do it gives me the message with 1015 i thikn please help me if u have a solution.

If I understand correctly, you are in Romania and the phone was bought from Sweden. In order to unlock that device, you have to have the carrier in Sweden unlock it. If your phone just won't power on, then wjosten has provided the steps needed to try and power it on. Otherwise, if you want the phone "unlocked" or if it has been "jailbroken" or an unauthorized version of software has been put on the iphone, nobody can help you here.

Iphone 3GS Battery help

Bought my first iphone, a used 16gb 3GS
I know iPhone's battery's are poor *but how do I know if mine needs replacing*? It should last me a whole day at least right (on average use, inc a few apps and an hour of music etc).
I basically want to know if my battery is the norm compared to other iphone 3GS's, or whether mine is poor and needs replacing.
Thanks

Update of the firmware?
Thanks
That is NOT what you said previously. You said: "I try to close all the app, close all tab of safari, roaming is off for the data" We are NOT psychic. Your original statement does NOT indicate that you have 3g off.
If the phone is unable to lock onto the preferred provider you set in manual mode, it will be constantly searching for the carrier signal. This will drastically reduce battery life. If you are out of range of the carrier you want to use, put the phone in airplane mode.

Iphone 3Gs Dead, very warm to touch

Iphone is dead, cannot restart and is very warm to touch. No response when hooked to computer or to charger. Tried resetting, no good. Anybody have any ideas?

Plug it in for a few hours to a Main Charger (NOT a USB on a computer) and then try Recovery Mode... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

On iPhone 5s, I cannot see more than 11 messages. I have NOT deleted older ones and need to view them. How? Scrolling in the list of 11 does not help.

On iPhone 5s, when I click on "Messages" I can only view eleven when I scroll. I need to view the older ones which I have NOT deleted. How can I do that, please?

You need the version of iPhoto that you wan tot use installed and then follow the IPLM directions
http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/Help/downgrading%20a%20library%20to%20an%20ea rlier%20version%20of%20iphoto.html
Downgrading a library to an earlier version of iPhoto
If you have a library from a newer version of iPhoto that you simply want "downgrade" to an older version of iPhoto, the easiest way to do that is with the "Rebuild Library" command. You will want to be running iPhoto Library Manager on the machine that has the older version of iPhoto you want to convert the library to. This will create a new library and import the entire contents of the original library into the new one using the older version of iPhoto. As with any rebuild, there are some items that will not be included (most notably, hidden photos, books, calendars, and slideshows), but if you have none of these items or don't mind losing them in the downgrading process, then this is a decent option for converting a library to an older version.

IPhone 3GS Dead Pixel

Is it common to have dead pixel on iphone? Because it happen to me twice! First when i got my iphone it had 1 dead pixel, i went to change it within 7 days. When i got the new set it doesn't have it, BUT RIGHT NOW IM HAVING DEAD PIXEL AGAIN ON MY IPHONE. FROM 1 IT TURN INTO 3 RANDOM PLACES.

Not sure how common this is - not common with my original iPhone that is approaching 3 years old and not with my 3G which is approaching 2 years old this July/August.
The iPhone includes a one year warranty, and an exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

IPhones 3GS dead pixel and bad sound quality

As i was going through some photos i notice a small white dot then looking closer to the screen i recently notice about 4 dead pixels and also when playing music through headphones the sound quality is not clear. I tested my iphone and a ipod touch with the same song and the results were the ipod touch had better sound than my phone. Can apple fix this?? Thanks

As for dead pixels, Apple considers a small number as unavoidable with LCD displays and covers only a "high number" under the warranty. Apple would have to inspect the phone and determine if it's a covered defect. Make an appointment with an Apple Store Genius Bar.
