What The French Toast?????? this thing ****** me off, sometimes i wish i wouldve never bought this stupid thing. last time i updtaed i had the same problem but i accidently closed the window before i could see what the error code was
If happened last time too, could be you are not using a USB 2.0 port or using one on a hub which the manual says you should avoid. That or virus protection hosing things up.

My iPhone 3gs locked when I was updating to iOS 6.0.1.
My iPhone 3gs locked when I was updating to iOS 6.0.1.
I begun updating by the iPhone itself, then it asked to connect to iTunes, but at the end - after tried to restore the firmware it does not restore (id error 29). I've just replaced the battery, there is something linked with this?
Why do I unlocked my iPhone?
Thanks,
MiguelSee if this helps:

How did you replace the battery? Did you take the back off
and replace it yourself? -
How can I restore my iPhone 3Gs after I tried to update to the new operating system.
I tried to upgrade my 3Gs to the new operating system(IOS5) and I got some kind of unknown error. I told iTunes to do the back up before doing the upgrade. The phone is stuck in restore mode with the "connect to iTunes" logo displayed.
I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. I've restarted my computer. The iTunes doesnt seem to see the iPhone, but when I connect the phone to the computer I hear the recognition jingle by the comoputer, the one you hear when when a piece of equipment is connected to the computer. In addition, when i look at "my computer" I dont see the iPhone in the selections of items connected to the computer.
I have tried all the reset proceducures with turning the phone off and using the home key.
Does anybody have any suggestions?Hi,

What Can i do?
Not sure there's anything you can do. Your phone is likely permanently damaged from the jailbreaking.
In any case, jailbreaking violates Apple's warranty on the phone, and eliminates your ability to get help from Apple, including from this forum. Discussion of jailbroken phones is a violation of the Terms of Use of this forum.
You'll have to search elsewhere on the internet for answers to your problem.
Best of luck.

I am trying to sync my iPhone 3GS with iTunes to update to the most current OS, but both are locked up. What do I do?!? Please help
I am having the same problem. I tried to update my iPhone 3GS this morning and the update failed. Then the iPhone disappeared from iTunes and my computer won't recognize that it's plugged in. Also the phone's screen shows the don't-disconnect-because-I'm-updating icon and won't shut down when I hold down the power button. Help.

My daughter has an iphone 3gs and it required an update. So i connected the iphone to itunes for the update and the iphone locked up . I had to reset the iphone back to factory settings and now the iphone will not activate , Please advise what i can do to get this working for her ?
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 and Mobile Me not updating Issues
I have an iPhone 3Gs and a mobile me account, everything was working well and if I entered info in my Calender or contacts either on the iPhone or my G5 Tower at home then they would sync up and merge so that the same dates or addresses were in both places.
Since updating the iphone to 4.0.1 I have had issues with date and contact merging.
If I add an entry in the calender it appear in my mobile me web calender when sync'ed, but does not transfer to the iPhone. I have checked that on the G5 the calender date book is the iPhones date book. I have checked that Calenders and Contacts are on the mobile me web. but they are not filtering down to the iPhone.
If I add a date to the calender on the iPhone they are not hitting the G5 tower.
This was never a problem prior to the phone software update. I have shut the phone down fully and restarted it incase that was an issue. I have also checked the phones Settings
Settings> Mail, Contact, Calenders and Fetch is set to Push every 30 Mins
Push > Set to On
Advanced schedule> Push (Have also tried Fetch as well)
and
Settings>for my .Mac email> Mobile Me >
Mail> On
Contacts> On
Calenders On
BookMarks> On
Notes>On
and
Settings>Calender
New Invitations Alers > On
Sync> All Events
Time Zone Support> On
Is anyone able to to suggest how I can cure this issueI am having the same issue (actually only noticing on phone Mail, haven't checked calendar yet). And this is an iPhone 3GS without the 4.01 update. Been noticing this for a couple of weeks at least. I'll even hit refresh in Mail and it acts like it's trying, but old emails remain (that I trashed at work) and new ones I saw at work iMac are not shown. They eventually update, but not like they should, especially after I have told the phone to refresh. Not the behavior I've known and loved for years.

I have an iPhone 3GS and was trying to restore it...
Now it won't let me activate my phone and my itunes tells me I have no SIM card inserted when I do.
Any ideas on how to get it working again?This means that the phone was previously hacked to carrier unlock (unauthorized unlock), and when you restored, the hack was removed and it became re-locked to its original carrier. It will now accept a SIM card only from that carrier.
Your only option is to contact the carrier it's locked to and enquire if they will provide authorized unlocking. Not all carriers will unlock and those that do usually have requirements and qualifications - i.e. you have to be a current or former customer in good standing. -

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. -
i got my iphone 3gs.. and since i updated it to 5.O from 4.1 ive noticed a recurring shut off when im open any of my application..
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup, then as new). Has any of this been tried?

I am using iphone 3gs and have accidentally clicked "update" to software version 5. However, after I failed and all my data was lost. I manage to restore back to my previous situation. But all my apps has been gone. How can I get back all my aps? I know I can get it by itunes but there are a few problems as below:
1. I have jailed break my iphone and I never purchased any apps from itunes
2. I have some important infomation saved in one of the apps called "awesome notes". How can I get it back? Is it store inside my computer? if so, how can i restore?
3. I am using window 7
I sincerely hope you guys can help me.
Regards,
Stephen Hongalrite. I have made my mistake. I should not jail break my iphone. So if I purchase my apps again from itunes is that mean mean my data will be back?
I hope you guys can giv me some support here since I am Apple genuine buyer. I could be wrong last time and now I turn over a new leaf and learn a lesson.
Please noted that I can always create new account to ask for the same questions without mention about "jailbreak" if I want to but obviously I won't do that. Please provide me your support! Thank you! -
