How to update my iphone 3gs to ios4 operating system?

When my phone is connected to iTunes it says I have the most current version and that's iOS 3.1.3. How do I update this?

Go to setting ---> software update--->here is where it will show you the update. If it doesn't, something is wrong iwth you iphone! GL!

Are you sure you've got a 3GS? Because the original iPhone had a maximum version of 3.1.3.

Are you sure that's an iPhone 3GS? It can update to 6.0.1 just fine.

If anything download the firmware you want here

& then press Restore in iTunes while pressing Shift on your keyboard & select the downloaded firmware & it should work.

As I know, iPhone 3GS can be updated into iOS 6, why you don't try it? But if you wants to jailbreak your phone you should update it into iOS 5.
To perform software update from your phone, open settings - general - software update, but this action can only be performed over Wi-Fi, if you can't find any software update you should download the iOS manually, there's a lot of website that provide the os and the instruction to updating your phone manually via iTunes (e.g idownloadblog).

  • Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?

  • Missing operating System on laptop? I have a Acer 7560 Laptop and I reseted my hard drive (like deleted everything) because it was so slow and some guy put a lot of programs when I wanted it fixed so it was useless. I thought it was going to be like the iPhone when you start all over but now when I turn it on all it says is "missing operating system" and I don't have a recovery disk or usb! So it's stuck like that. Can I buy a disk or usb online if so what type or do I need to take it to someone.
