If the wi-fi remains greyed out, your device needs service.
If within warranty, it should be free.
If not, it will probably cost $199 USD + tax.

Most likely it's a hardware failure if it's both WiFi and BlueTooth. There are some strange suggestions to try; if these don't work take it to an Apple store for exchange. If it's out of warranty it will cost $199.
Turn off Cellular Data, reboot the phone. try to turn on WiFi.
Put it in a ziplock bag with the air squeezed out, then in a freezer for 15 minutes (yes, this is not a joke).
The opposite: Heat it with a hair dryer for a couple of minutes.
All of these have worked for someone, but not for most.

If those solutions don't work your iPhone 4s has developed a hardware problem. The permanent solution is to get it replaced.
You can search the internet for heating and freezing solutions that might work (at least for a while).
For example, see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj10bz5bI6A
Root cause: On some iPhone 4s devices there may be a flow soldering problem with the WiFi chip. After long periods of WiFi activity such as installing an iOS update (for example, iOS 7 or iOS 8) there may be a connection failure. A work-around to this is the procedure in the youTube video.

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.

There are no more future updates for iPhone 3G. There is probably a hardware issue with your phone that an update would not fix.

My wifi wont turn on

My wifi wont turn on and has no wifi hardware installed displayed. futhermore when i go to turn it on it doesnt let me? ive been reading about mutiple problems with lion which i seem to be having ever since i installed it, but no solutions yet seem to have solved my issue, please help.

Sometimes you can get lucky here with an SMC reset or a PRAM Zap.
Let's try those and see...

Wifi wont turn on on iphone

wifi wont turn on on iphone

took it to my carrier and the tech guy said that he has seen a couple of cases already after the 6.1, 6.1.1, and 6.1.2 updates. There is no fix on the software side since Apple does not acknowledge the issue at all (they make you think you are the moron and not them). The carrier's only recommendation to solve the issue is to buy a new phone! w.t.f....thanks Apple. Now I have to buy a new phone to get the WiFi function back???? just called Apple and since I am over the warranty period by 39 days I am s.o.l. On the bright side, the 6.1.2 did solve my battery drain problem.

Iphone5 wifi wont turn on and says its not available?

This is my third iphone 5 as my 2 other iphones 5 had faults with them and ive just had to pay £200 for this last one as my other one was out of warranty. Now my wifi wont allow me to turn it on and it says its unavailable. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi there I had the same problem too this is called grayed out wifi, what you have to do is to get a hair dryer or heater and put it on high heat and place it near your iPhone screen i
Until you get the temperature warning then power your device down and leave it somewhere cool to cool down for at least 15 minutes then power up your device again and it should connect up to a network.
