IPhone :: 3Gs Won't Activate After Restore
Jun 5, 2012I'm having problems with my iPhone 3Gs. I had it jailbreaked with Redsn0w, then I restored it to the most update iOS through the newest iTunes. I can't get past the activation menu at all. I tried restoring in DFU mode and still no luck, even with using other SIM cards. I tried downgrading to iOS 5.0 and I get "error 60000ms giving up" on the iPhone screen and I can't edit hosts files at all. When I try to edit the hosts file by deleting any lines that contain gs.apple.com, I am unable to save it.

IPhone 4s :: Won't Activate After Restore
Jun 27, 2014The software on my phone 4s (ios 7.1, Verizon carrier) was acting buggy, so I decided to restore it. After doing so and restoring it from a backup, the phone started telling me it wasn't activated. I tried setting it up as a new phone, but the same problem continued. I've done this before (pre-ios 7) and haven't had the same problem.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIPhone :: IP 4 / Restore From Backup Or Activate As New Phone?
Jun 23, 2010When you guys are getting your new iPhone 4s (mine is sitting in Memphis, TN and will be here tomorrow) are you "restoring from backup" to put everything you had on your old iPhone/3G/3GS onto your new iPhone 4? And if so are you running into any issues?
I'm trying to figure out if it would simply be better to activate my phone as new to avoid any headaches and worry about transferring everything later, but I can't seem to get some good information from those that have done either or. I'm afraid I might brick a new iPhone 4 if I try to restore it from an iPhone 3G 3.1.3 backup, or does it not work that way? I.e., will it just tranfer the files/music/pics/video/contacts/texts/apps/etc. to the iPhone 4 but not touch iOS4, or will it screw my new phone's OS up?
Also, I have been using an old Sony Vaio Windows XP laptop that was my primary iPhone 3G sync buddy, but will be switching computers next week when I receive a new i7 27" iMac. How do you move iTunes libraries to a new computer and re-associate your iPhone(s) with the new one?My iPhone 4 will be deactivating my old 3G and re-associating that account and phone number to the new phone. (rendering my 3G basically just a 16 GB iPod Touch) So what is the proper procedure when getting the new phone?
IPhone :: Can't Activate 4S - How To Activate It
May 1, 2012My mum bought me an Iphone 4S in duty free in South Korea airport, she was told it was unlocked, however, when I tried to activate it with my Kazakhstan sim card, it said that I had to use sim card of certain providers. I've checked the model's number in the Internet (MD237C/A), and from what I've learnt my Iphone is supposed to be unlocked.

IPhone :: Want To Restore From IPod Touch To IP4 - Is There A Way To Restore Just Apps?
Jul 29, 2010I inadvertently backed up my iPod Touch 3G which ended up being a blessing because it actually died due to water damage. When I get my new iP4 I want to restore from that iPod Touch backup because it has many apps I use for studying including the settings which I definitely need. Is there a way to restore just the apps? How would/could I restore at least the one app with data that I really need?

May 3, 2012I finally updated my iPhone to 5.1. I waited so long because of the fiasco updating my iPod Touch when 5.0 first came out. I thought it worked, I was pleased Apple worked out the bugs. Lo and behold, all of my apps and folders disappeared before my eyes. No problem I thought, I did a back up. Restore from back up. Fifteen minutes later, it looks exactly the same. Isn't a backup supposed to be of everything on the system so that if something goes wrong, you just revert back to the back up and either try again or wait for the process to be fixed? Seriously, get your stuff together.

IPhone 3G :: How To Restore When Restore Freezes?
Jul 9, 2010stats: jailbroken iphone 3G at 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 (cant remember).my iBroken went into a vicious reboot cycle recently, constantly showing the white apple logo, until the battery was drained completely. I finally got it into restore mode (display: cable& itunes) connected it to itunes and tried to restore it. The process froze somewhere 3/4 to finish.Then ya know I googled around, downloaded pwnage tool, created a custom ipsw out of the iphone 3.0 ios 4 ipsw, selected it in itunes and tried to restore with that. Again it froze and the bar stopped just before completion.Does anyone know how to treat this one? update: I have also tried reinstalling itunes, etc, etc. Update-2: sorry typo. I meant that i have an iphone 3G not iphone 4 Update-3: FIXED. Booted Windows xp via bootcamp, installed itunes, restored using custom ipsw.

IPhone :: 3G Won't Activate
Apr 23, 2012I recieved a used iPhone 3G for my birthday in December, and today I tried to update to iOS 5.1. Everything on iTunes went smoothly, but when I tried to re-activate my phone, I get the message ''Could not activate iPhone. Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your phone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes.''
So I waited for a few minutes and then tried again, after a few minutes, I got the exact same result. So i plugged my iPhone into iTunes and it told me there was no SIM card in my phone, but yes, there was a sim card in it. As far as I know my phone has been unlocked, but I read a lot of things about factory unlocks. If my phone was factory unlocked, how do I find out the original carrier?
