IPhone 3GS :: No Service Showing After Update 6.1.6
Jun 5, 2014
I just updated an Iphone 3GS to OIS 6.1.6 and now the "phone" do not work, I have tried with two different sim cards and it continues to be locked on No Service or switch between Searching and No Service. I have tried switching on and off flight mode. The problem started when I upgraded to 6.1.3. Now I did a complete new installation of 6.1.6 and the problem persists. The phone has not been jailbroken
I was one of the first couple of dozen in the store on the west coast. I had the Apple Store rep activate the phone for me. He did what he had to do and said it would just be a matter of time. I left.
I came home. It's been two hours and still showing "No Service." 1-800-AppleCare is either busy or disconnects me after a dozen rings.
I called AT&T, and the rep said they were briefed that due to so many activations (thanks a whole helluva lot Europe and the east coast ), activations were delayed with no time estimates given. The AT&T rep did offer to take down my land line number so someone would call me later in the day to confirm or deny that the activation has taken place.
My phone keeps showing no service need to restart then works again for a bit then again shows no service where 4g and signal strength has a red line....
This morning, my iPhone said "No Service", all the way into work.There where no issues with Vodafone's network, and there are no areas where there is no coverage, on my way to/from work and home.I tried turning Airplane mode on then off again, to force the iPhone to search for a signal, that didn't work (usually does). I had to turn the iPhone off, then back on again, and there it was - a full 3G signal (5 bars). This happens a lot - the iPhone either falsly reports that I have 2G or 3G, when in fact I've only got regular GSM, or it reports "No Signal", and will go all day without aquiring a signal, even in known good areas, unless I turn airplane mode on then off, or turn the whole iPhone on then off.
my iphone 4 died while updating to 5.1, it was plugged into my mac but my mac powered down because i didnt have the magnet mag safe thing in all the way. anywho, i turned it on and it says no service. i have restarted, grabbed a new sim, restored the iphone, i reset, i have done everything and i cant call or use 3g, the wifi works fine. i have about 2 months left on my 1 year apple warranty, i live in canada so going to an apple store is 5 hours away.
I bought a referb(haha) 3GS(16gb newer model) from AT&T and it came with IOS 5.0 pre-installed, everything worked fine updated to 5.0.1 as soon as I got it activated. I then upgraded my phone to a 4 and decided to give my 3GS to my brother (who also has a 3GS, just an 8gb version), before I was going to do that, I decided to restore and update, after resetting all settings and updating to 5.1, I put in his SIM into the phone but itunes says that there is no SIM inserted into the phone and I'm not able to activate it. Same for wifi activation, (says server is busy). I've tried another AT&T SIM from another iphone 3GS and the same thing, No service, no SIM, busy server. So I thought It'd try and restore the iphone, I put it into DFU mode, hooked it up to itunes, hit restore and it gives me an error 3194. Oddly enough I don't get this error on my laptop if I restore from there. Either way, my 3GS is no longer working after the 5.1 update. I was told by my friend who works at the apple store that 5.1 does break a few iphones for one of two reasons, but he didn't think the problem with my phone were either of them.
That's right folks. I don't get a 3G service and the phone tends to start "Searching" for a couple of seconds until it becomes "No Service". When I disable the 3G service, it then works fine on Edge (full bar).
Anyone out there who has encounted a similar problem as such and have found a way to fix this? I would really appreciate if you could post your experiences below.I also wonder if Apple is going to help fix this problem once and for all in thier next filmware update.
Info: iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1, no 3g, edge, searching, no service
Finally the ICS update has become available for my phone (SI 1253-7151) -PC Companion pops up a message about the new update. If I click "Update", PC Companion starts downloading the update, finishes the download and says "Preparing computer for program updates". Then it proceeds to "Unable to install or start components for update of phone system" and my phone does not get updated.Then I have tried Sony Update Service, but now I can't even start it properly; the program crashes right after opening it. It just says "Synchronizing" and then "An unexpected error has occured. The application will shut down." so I never get any possibility to see why.Again, my phone does not get updated. Since both programs crash there must be a serious problem with the downloaded files (and they're probably shared between the programs?).Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it; I can see in a Norwegian forum that other people have the same problem - and in the original thread that you have hidden (!).
PS. The original thread was not mine; I just replied to it since I had the exact same problem. Regarding the new "moderation strategy" I believe that the above question is not rude, it's not spam - and reposting the question is necessary when the issue has not been resolved and the original thread has disappeared..
ever since i had the update 5.1.1 for my iphone 3gs it has notbeen able to detect any sim and it is unable to activate, also before i had the update my phone worked perfect with the sim i am using atm which is giff gaff (runs on o2-uk)
I received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?
My config: PC with AMD, Windows 7 64 Bit, 16GB RAM
I had been trying to update my Satio's software. It just could not update for me even after I press the call key at the 5th step for more than 10 mins! The top right hand corner bar never moves to "confirm" it just stays at "connect". Can anyone kindly help me? I really don't want to make a trip down to the Service Center as updating of software takes more than a week!

I have tried almost everything. I deleted the file in the Update Service folder, re-downloaded, and reinstalled so many times, tried setting the PCC to check for updates every time phone is plugged in(which it said on the SE website, but isn't an option at all. Could anyone perhaps shed some light. I am getting pretty frustrated with all this nonsense.
