Iphone 3Gs updated from 4.1 to IOS 6 but have issue, please help!

I bought this phone from UK and got jailbreak Pakistan.
It was running okay until I decided to upgrade from ios4.1 to ios6 because whenever I was trying to open facebook, safari was crushing.
Now its updated to IOs6 and I was taken to the activation screens, and begun with the welcome one, choose language, choose location services (later on it also disappears) and selecting Wi-Fi and/or iTunes for activation.
I chose a Wi-Fi network the process started, and gave me a message that it will take about few minutes to activate iPhone, few minutes later a screen with this message appears: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
Then, I decided to try the activation using iTunes. But alas no luck using iTunes, after few minutes, it shows the following message:
We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time.
Please try again later, or contact customer care.
I tried several times in both ways so  I started to find out some info about this trouble over the Internet  but I did not find any answer or solution either!
Now I dont know what is wrong and what to do, please help. Thanks

That's your problem, iTunes has detected a jailbroken device & errored out. Apple does not support jailbreaking & when detected, by iTunes, you get the result you're experiencing.
We can't help you here, you'll have to use Google & search for a site that can help you.
Good luck.

    so even if your phone is unlocked you wouldn't be able to use it anywhere else.
    Absolutely not true. There is no difference, spec wise, between the iPhone sold in Japan & the GSM iPhone sold everywhere else. iPhones in Japan use UMTS 2100.

    Hi

    Where did the photos on the iPhone come from? What is in Camera Roll on the iPhone?
    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad and iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).
    No data will be lost.

    If there are any saved web pages or HTML files in the same folder that you're trying to upload from, move or delete those files and try again. Otherwise, try moving the files you want to upload to a different folder.

  • Iphone 3gs- updated to the ios 5.0.1... since then i plugged it into itunes, an now my phone restarts itself every 3-4 minutes! Restored 4 times and still not working help please!!!!!

    i contacted o2 and they said id have to pay to get it fixed after sending it away for ten days if their was a fault, when im still under warranty!! contacted apple who will get back to me!

    I am assuming you updated to version 5.1.1, not 5.0.1 since no legitimate version of 5.0.1 is available.
    Where is this iPhone from and what means did you use to unlock it?

  • IPhone 3GS update to IOS 6 problem

    I recently received an iPhone 3GS (32gb) from a friend, and updated it to IOS 6.1, after the update, i tried to turned it on and went through the setup, but when it got to the activation part it couldn't activate, i got this message "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to active it, or try again in a couple of minutes" when i connect it to iTunes i get this message "We are unable to continue with your activation at this time" any help would be grateful, Thanks.

    The behavior you're describing would occur with a jailbroken or hacked iPhone.  If it was ever jailbroken or hacked, it is now permanently "bricked".

  • My iphone 3GS updated itself to ios 6 and never started to work

    My iphone 3GS updated itself to ios 6 & then things went absurd.
    iphone kept restarting after showing apple logo. The issue continued even after a complete restoration. Apple service now says firmware got corrupted and so I have to pay 9500Rs (200$) and get a phone replacement of the same model. And there is no other solution.
    Can anyone give any other solution or else is it worth to get it replaced for 9500Rs.
    I have spend money for no real hardware issue and apples improper firmware methodology and updates...

    This is what I posted to someone else having the same issue:
    I having the same issue about the and iTunes says "The iPhone cannot be  restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could  not be contacted or is temporarily unavailable.". I've had the  iPhone  3GS since it came out. It was working fine until I just tried to  update  it. It has NEVER been hacked or jailbroken. WE AND A FEW OTHERS are  having  the same issue then it is more than likely that this is an  update issue.  I took mine to the Apple store and the tech tried to  update it and he came to the same problem and told me he couldn't  update it. My assumption is that we are not the only one's with this  issue and that if  there was a way to update it to the update before  this last one it  might be a solution. I don't know how to get the  previous update. Apple  probably is aware of the problem, and hasn't  come up with a solution yet. Or, enough people haven't complained yet.  The tech suggested that  there might be something wrong with the phone  itself, but that couldn't  be since it was working perfectly before I  updated it and others are  having the same issue. It is highly unlikely  that a lot of people are having the same hardware issue all of a  sudden at the same time. Apple/iTunes needs to fix this... and hopefully soon
    Also:  I can update or restore my iPhone 5 and other iPhones so it is not an  issue with my firewall or other software on my computer. No one touches  my iPhone or my computer they are secure, locked all the time, and I  have no jailbreak software on my computer (Apple tried it and they are  clueless at the moment from what I can tell).

  • HT4623 I having difficulty in updating my iphone 3GS software from version 4.1 to version 5.1. I cannot update through my iphone & through itunes. Each time I tried a message appeared saying iphone software server cannot be contacted. Please, help

    I am having difficulty in updating my iphone 3GS software from version 4.1 to version 5.1. I tried using my phone but cannot find the update software button even when I have gone through the right process by tapping SETTING, then GENERAL, yet could not find Update Software button. I mean the update Software button is not seen there.
    I tried using itunes, yet no way. Each time I connect my iphone to my laptop itunes software comes up automatically and alerts me that a newer version of software for my iphone is available, It usually gives me the option of Download & Install or Download Only. Whichever of the option I click a message will always appear telling me that the iphone update server could not be contacted, then asking me to make sure that my network settings are correct and active or try again latter. Sometimes, when click on the Update button on my itune software. It will display an error has occured.
    I have even tried to Restore iphone from itunes, yet the problem  keep repeating itself.
    Can anyone help me?

    Dear Tim,
    I saw your message. Below are the problems:
    Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
    1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
    2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
    The above is the challenges I am facing now.

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • I had over 200 e-mails.  I went to my webmail and deleted most of them.  However, my iPhone still shows 200 e-mails.  How can I force my iPhone to update from the e-mail server?  Or will I have to delete each e-mail from my iPhone as well?  Thanks.

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

    Okay, you are using Windows 7. What version of iTunes do you have. Please don't tell me the most current one, go into Help then About iTunes and read what it says.
