IPhone :: My 3gs Could Not Activate After Updating To Ios 5.1
Mar 19, 2012
I own an iPhone 3Gs, It was a birthday gift from my aunt. She sent it over from Canada to the Philippines.At the first time i used it, my local sim card cannot be read by the iPhone, so my aunt said that it has to be unlocked.So i had it unlocked. I recently updated my iOS 5 to iOS 5.1 because of the interesting updates it has and so as my friends told me to upgrade.Now I have a problem that when I turn the phone on, I cannot activate my phone. I think that it would be impossible to be unlocked because it wont activate by itself. I do not want to waste the iPhone, it is the first iPhone that I have. I suppose that I am not the only one having this problem. I stored a lot of important stuffs in my 3Gs that helps me in my studies.

My 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.
I TRIED updating my nokia 5230 by using OVI suite and during update my nokia 5230 suddenly turned off and updating stopped. I disconnected usb cable and tried to turn on the set but it wont turn on.

I'll probably be in line to pick up my reservation at 7, but will probably need to be to work no later than 8. Can I just pay for it and leave or do I have to wait for them to activate it?
I'm giving my iPhone 3GS to a friend who currently is with ATT using another smartphone with a data plan. We popped his SIM into my iPhone abs it worked for calls but not data. What procedure with ATT does he need to do to get it fully functional?
Can I activate my iPhone without a SIM? I want to get the IMEI number off the phone and order a free bumper using the app. The plan is to order the bumper, register the IMEI number with the insurance company and take my current phone away with me, that way, when I return everything is ready to go.
I have an iPhone 4S running with iOS 5.1. I bought it in the Apple online store. I'm using a Canadian Rogers SIM card in Canada, which works well with other iPhones. When I try to actiavte my phone with it it says: SIM not valid, Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone... My iPhone is definitly factory unlocked and my SIM card is prepaid.
Friend updated latest updated software in my iphone 3gs i cant activate my iphone message like this
Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support "
I have 4.3.3 iPhone 3GS that I just restored to 5.1. It all worked good except for when I go to activate it. It says that the activation servers are down. I've tried a bunch of sim cards with no luck. Are the activation servers actually down or do I need to do a DFU restore?
I 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?
I have a iphone 3G, was on a carrier no longer, Using it as iPod. Was working, installed iOS 5.1 update and it tries to activate but complaims about no SIM. As far as I know it was not jail broken before.
just had a new battery fitted to my iphone 4 and it has stopped working again so i opened it up to see the battery and had a look but could see no damage so put it on mains charger and it tells me to activate the iphone so i pulg it in to my laptop and nothing happens it just displays the apple logo over and over again
I recently bought a 2nd hand iPhone 3gs, updated it to the latest software but unbeknown to me, the guy I bought the iPhone from lied and said it was 02 when it was Vodaphone. I got it permantly unlocked to faciliate my 02 sim but I cannot activate it as it repeatedly says the servers are unavailable. It has been saying this for 2 weeks now.
I just updated my 3GS to 5.1.1, but now my phone will not activate. I am going nuts because of this and how careless apple is with their older generation softwares.
I have an Iphone 3g that was unlocked and jailbreak. My friend did a Reset and the phone didnt want to turn on it will always stay on the apple symbol.I hooked it up to itunes and updated the software and when that was done it told me to insert SIM to activate the phone.I insert an AT&T SIM and I always get a message saying: "your iphone could no t be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable". I try to connect it again to Itunes and it updated and download the software again.
i was trying to update my friends iphones software but in the middle of it my laptop shut down now everything is erased and i dont know what to do. im not sure how to activate an iphone.
