I purchased an unlocked 3gs iphone and tried to sync it with itunes to get updates on the software. I clicked on update but nothing happened so I clicked on restore and it basically wiped the whole phone clean and now it wont pick up my sim card and is saying my serial code is wrong?

I recently lost my SD card to my blackberry 9810 and am attempting to restore the files onto a new SD card to a computer. I had automatic backups set up from the Blackberry desktop manager and Blackberry protect. I was under the assumption that these backups also backed up information on the SD card. Unfortunatley, when I tried to restore my phone using a blackberry desktop no old files where restored to my new SD card.I have read an old post that says the automatic backups do not backup SD card documents but am unsure if that is still true.Is there anyway I could restore the files using the backups?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an iPhone 4 I bought through Vodafone in Italy, but that SIM card is no longer in use, and I'm using the iPhone just as an iPod Touch.
Today, I tried installing iOS 5.1.1, it crashed as soon as it started, and I was forced to restore the iPhone.
Problem is, after downloading the OS and installing it, to finish restoring the iPhone it asks for a valid SIM card, which I don't have.
How can I restore my iPhone without a SIM card?
I currently cannot get to any Apple store, as I live quite far from the city, and I have a small baby to take care of.

It was working fine first when it came but it didn't have any of my data on it and it was jail broken. I researched into this and it said that a restore of the software would get rid of that and then I'd be able to put my own data onto it. It was extracting the software everything seemed like a normal restore but then it came up with the message "the SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported" I cannot get passed it and O2 (I'm in the uk) the staff in my local shop just didn't have a clue what to do.
View 9 Replies View Relatedi got this iphone 3g from a friend. He got it for the US from another person. We have no idea what the carrier is or if its factory unlocked or not. The phone was not jailbroken or anything. Then one day my friend updated his iphone 3g to the ios 4.1 which also upgraded his baseband to 06.15.00 so the phone is now locked and no sim here in Bahrain can be used. He asked me if i could unlock it for him so i tried to do so thinking i could use ultrasnow. I jailbroke it first using redsnow 09.6b2 and pointed it on its firmware 4.1 (from iclarified) when it asked for one and the jailbreak went through perfectly.
But then what he forgot to tell me was that there the wifi wasnt working on his phone. There would just be that thing circling next to the connecting to wifi but nothing would show up. So there is no way for me to get into cydia and get the ultrasnow right? So i read thru some forums here and found that the wifi thing is a bug with the ios4 when u update? So i thought of downgrading the phone instead to 3.1.3. When i tried to do that using the full restore where u shift click the restore button and select the 3.1.3 firmware, it was going okay it first but then i got a 1015 error in itunes that the phone cant be restored. So i did the recovery fix (which i was able to succesfully do to another friend's iphone) it almost worked with this one but i coouldnt connect to itunes after coz i get the message:: "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported.Only compatible SIM cards from a supported Carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit supported Carrier's store to receive a replacement SIM card" This is where i am stuck. I dont even know what firmware the phone is currently in after what i did.

I have an unlocked iPhone3GS that I used in Thailand for 2 years with a Thai SIM card. Now I am back in the USA and I got a AT&T SIM card without a contract. I wanted to update to the newer version of iOS so I contacted AT&T and had them do an authorized iPhone unlock. I backed up my iPhone and then restored it in iTunes. After restarting the phone iTunes told me there was no SIM card installed in the device. I've taken the AT&T SIM card out and put it back in but nothing changes.

If it makes it to my local facility today but not in time to make today's truck will they let me come by and pick it up?

I got a iPhone 4s, it worked for a couple of months properly with no problems, its an unlocked iPhone but is coming up with SOS only, I've had this problem for a while now, when the problem first started accruing I removed the sim for 3-4 days and re inserted it and it worked fine again, 3G and everything, but then after 5 days it went back to SOS only, if you turn the phone off and take the sim out and turn it back on and re insert it, it works for a couple of hours, you can send texts and all, but then 3G doesn't work at all, its not picking it up

I have a wireless network at home and it is quiet strong. My iphone was always connected to it until today. It doesn't see it and it can't connect to the internet via wireless network. It is using the 4G from the service provider, which is too slow and does not allow for certain functions.

My iPhone 5 has never had a problem with picking up a Wifi signal. I just moved to a new apartment a few weeks ago and my iPhone won't recognize any Wifi signal at all. My Xbox One recognizes multiple signals and connects with ease, same with my Macbook Pro. And my iPhone has no problem picking up Wifi networks at other locations (Work, Starbucks, etc.).Â

Simple question: Do you prefer to have your iPhone 4 delivered to your house, or do you want to pick it up in an Apple/AT&T store.
