IPhone 3gs Stuck on Update to IOS 5

Today i wanted to update my 3gs to IOS5.
But now it is stuck :-///
Itunes can't update the iphone, neither in maintance nor in DFU mode.
I only get the maintance mode or an never ending reboot loop.
I tunes reports me an "Unknown error -1"
That's disgusting...
I tried it on two windows 7 PC's (don't have a mac ) , on each pc with two different sync cables.
Firewall is turned off, tried many reboots, no virus scanner.
I also tried to ping gs.apple.com, which works fine. So there is no connectivity problem ?
Can any give me any hint on what to do ????
I don't kow what to do :-((((
Heres a part of the logfile which seems to point to the problem

TS1567 I cannot activate my iphone 3gs after I updated to ios 6.

I cannot activate my iphone 3gs after i updated to ios 6.0.1 and all it shows when i start the phone is connect to itunes. I have tried
several time to get it back as normal but its the same all the time. Can someone please help...
Thanks

The typical cause is that the device has been hacked or jailbroken.

To reset iTunes Store cache:
In iTunes, choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences(PC).
Click the Advanced tab.
Click the "Reset cache" button.
Click OK and see if the issue is resolved.

I have an iPhone 3GS and have updated to IOS 6.1. Before with emails there was a user bar at the bottom which allowed you to move emails to folders, print etc, but it now seems to be removed. Can you help ?

Close out of the mail app, double click the home button and completely close out of the mail app.
Then do a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check your mail again.

The thing is now 3GS is left out when the next version say its iPhone 6 , 6S, 6C ..., then iPhone 4 will face the same sitution which 3GS are facing now and it goes on . Phones are not just for 2yrs 3 yrs if that is the case i would have got Samsung , Sony etc . Why do i prefer Iphone ?
Samsung, Sony and every other company are constantly coming out with new models and dropping older models. Many older Android phones also cannot be updated to newer OS versions, as their manufacturers don't release firmware updates for them. Apple is not unique in that aspect of the business - they are all competing with eachother.
Despite many people's wishes that companies were ultra-altruistic, they are not (and largely because their share holders do not want them to be). They make products to sell them and make profits, and whatever is necessary to do that in an ultra-competitive market is what will be done. The pace of change is not going to slow down, if anything, it is just going to continue to ramp up. And millions of happy share holders, and tens of millions of iPhone customers are constantly demanding more new things, not stable older things.
That said, the iPhone 5c and Apple's move into the trade in program, are attempts to offer better options to people on a tighter budget than others.
But, as with any personal item, you buy what you can afford. Nobody is entitled to the best and the greatest just because others have it.

IPhone 3gs won't update to ios 5.1.1 PLEASE HELP!

I got an iPhone 3GS from a friend thats running 4.3.3 and when i try to update it to 5.1.1 it says "isnt compatible with this build" or something like that. Also its jail broken (updating issue also happened before it was jailbroken) and everytime i try to erase all content and settings it just gets stuck so then i will just turn it off and back on again and it works still. Does anybody know how to fix these two things?

Try restoring it through iTunes.

HT201412 iPhone 3GS unresponsive after updating to iOS 6.1.3

My unlocked iPhone 3GS's touch screen and volume buttons has become unresponsive after allowing iTunes 11.0.2 to update the iPhone to iOS 6.1.3. I have tried restarting, resetting and restoring the iPhone several times. It will no longer function at all without a SIM so I purchased an "Amaysim" prepaid SIM so I could use the phone however this has not acheived anytihng.
My phone is now a brick - any help would be greatly appreciated.

HT4972 iPhone 3GS will not update to IOS 5

iPhone 3GS, which should be compatible with IOS 5, will not upgrade. I have synced with iTunes and it says there are no further updates, and there are no software updates available on the phone, and yet in the 'about' section of General Settings it says it is running version 4!!
How do I get it to update to IOS 5 if iTunes is telling me there are no more software updates!?
Thanks

Hi
Yes, upon checking the model number it looks as though it is actually an iPhone 3G!! The box said 3GS but I think my friend must have given me the wrong box!
Thanks, issue solved!

Hello troffs,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
Turn off your device. If you can't turn it off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time and wait a few seconds for it to turn off.
Plug the device's USB cable into your computer only.
Hold down the device's Home button as you connect the USB cable to it.
When you see the Connect to iTunes screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 one more time.
iTunes should open and display a message such as: "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Use iTunes to restore your device.
Best of luck,
Mario

Hello AlexCornejo,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The screen you're seeing on your iPhone indicates it is in recovery mode. Now since the device is not appearing in iTunes on your PC, first follow the steps in this article:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
After following those steps, you should be able to restore your iPhone.
Take care,
Alex H.

I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

I updated my Iphone 3gs to last version of iOS and now I can't change my configurations of Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

Generally that is a sign that the iPhone had previously been jailbroken
or hacked to work with other than the original wireless provider. The update
has relocked the iPhone to the original wireless provider. You must
contact them to see if they provide unlocking and if you qualify.
If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at
Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
