In order to reflash your iPhone or just find out if a new game or program is suitable for it, you need to find out the firmware number of the device. It is quite possible to do this on your own.
Instructions
Step 1
To find out the firmware number, select the "Settings" folder in the main menu of the iPhone (or Settinings in the English version). From this folder - the function "General" (or General), then select the tab "About phone" (About). It is in it that the data you need is located, and in addition, the serial number of the iPhone, which is also necessary to perform various manipulations with the iPhone.
Step 2
If the phone is completely new and has not even been activated yet, you can do the following: you need to enter the emergency number * 3001 # 12345 # * using the keypad and press the call button. Even in an unactivated model, a service menu will appear on the screen - a list of information that can be found out about it. It is necessary to select the Version position, in which a certain sequence of numbers will be indicated, with which you can decipher the iPhone firmware number. So, if the sequence of numbers in the Firmware version starts from 04.04.05 …, then the firmware version operating on the iPhone is 1.1.4, if 04.03 ….. - then 1.1.3, etc., but if the numbers are visible on the screen 03 ……, then the version with the number 1.0.2 is installed in the smartphone.
Step 3
In addition, it will indirectly help you to find out about the firmware, if the phone was not flashed after purchase from the salon, the serial number of the phone. In the serial number 3, the number indicates the year, and 4 and 5 - the week of the device's release during the year. Knowing this, it is easy to find information about which official version number was used for installation in the factory at that time.
Step 4
You can also check the firmware version using your computer. Synchronize with your PC iPhone, then go to iTunes. In the "Device" subsection, you need to select your iPhone model, after which you need to find the "Software version" entry in the information that appears. The specified data is the version of the smartphone's firmware. You can also update there if you need a newer version of the firmware.
