IPhone 3gs is not responding after update and then restore!!!

Hi, I have an iPhone 3gs and i plugged it in to charge. All of the sudden the screen shuts off and it restarts. When it turn back on it says your iPhone has been updated to iOS 6.1.3 please connect it iTunes. When i did connect to itunes it didnt do anything. I followed the instructions on the iPhone but nothing. I tried this on 3 different computers and still nothing. I read some things on the other apple supports saying to restore. Right before the restore would finish on the coumputer it would say error 1!! I tried to restore on different computers as well several times. I never pressed or did anything on the iPhone to make it do this. What do I need to do to get rid of the error or fix the iphone??

Probably because it's jailbroken or hacked to be used with another carrier.

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.
Sam applies for updating apps. Note that not all apps are available in all country so y will not be able to update an app if you are in another country and that app is not available in that country or your account is not associated with that country.
You can change the country and other things by:

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

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 battery not showing low battery and then taking hours to charge

Okay so my battery today was showing that it had full power and gave me no indication that the battery was near dead (ie: saying I only had 20% power left), and then it suddenly died on me. I went and charged it in my car and it charged for over 5 hours and was only at about 90%. It's never done this before, it typically takes at most an hour to charge even from a completely dead battery, and the battery indicator has always showed what the actual power is at. The phone is still pretty new, I bought it in March or April. Any ideas what's causing this, or what I should do? Right now, it's showing me the battery has full life, but I have a battery check app that says it's only at 95%.

It is the nature of the beast. Mine does that too. The charger actually cycles off periodically if the phone is basically idle. If I want make sure I have the maximum possible charge in the phone, I disconnect the charger for several minutes (perhaps using it a bit) and then plug the charger back in. This tops off the battery. I have been able to go as long as three hours with the phone still indicating 100% using this technique. I have no way of knowing for sure, but I am confident this is perfectly normal.
Honestly, I think it is a side effect of being able to turn on the percent view battery indicator. My wife's 3G (non S) does the same thing, but you can't tell because you can't see the percent view. You don't know what you can't see.

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.

I am using iPhone 3GS. Not able to update 6.16 version

I am using iPhone 3GS. Not able to update 6.16 version

I'm having the same problem as maujmasti.
After upgrading my iphone 3gs to ios 6.1.6 my wifi connection stopped working. When the network requires a password it displays a message that the password is incorrect and when it's an open network it says that it wasn't able to connect.
I formated my iphone in attempt to fix the problem. It worked for a while but a few days later I could not connect anymore. The weird thing is that the wifi connection started to work again for another day or two but after that it stopped for good.
When I tap on the blue arrow beside the wifi name, all the spaces are blank (IP adress / subnet mask / router / DNS ...).
I've tried a lot of things that I read on the forum and nothing works.
I could try to format my phone again but the problem is that I can't do an iCloud backup, not via wifi neither via iTunes.

Make sure you follow these instructions completely with the phone disconnected from the computer. After the reinstallation, reconnect the phone and it should load the new USB driver.

This sounds more like a hardware issue.
Have you checked that the dock connector port is not dirty?

My iphone 3gs will not connect to itunes and it says that I need to do a system restore. It also says that I need to enter my password on the iphone to connect to itunes but I can not do this because the phone is in emergency phone call mode only.

Turn your phone off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your phone and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a phone in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
Unfortunately, the data on your phone is already gone if you're seeing the connect to iTunes logo.
