If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; devices running an iOS version prior to 5.0 can't be updated straight from the device, and it will be updated to iOS 6.1.3.

You're welcome.
If you read up further the answer was kindly provided by stedman1
no, ios decipher, the answer was not provided. it does not tell you how to do it with an iphone 3g. when i use iTunes to try and upgrade it, it says "This version of the iPhone software (4.2.1) is the current version." what urz wants to know is the same thing that i would like to know. how do i get past that message in order to upgrade the 3g to iOS 5 or later?

And if you actually took the time to READ the posting, you would realize that no one asked about an iPhone 3G. They asked about a 3GS. They are NOT the same.
You can NOT update an iPhone 3G to anything later than iOS 4.2.1.
I had same problem and I followed these steps to back up but when I go to preference>Devices there is no option for upgrade. Please let me know if u have any solution.
Thanks
To to Settings>General>About. What does it say for "Model"?
It says Model MB702LL
That's not a 3GS. It's a 3G. The highest it can go is 4.2.1.
.
oh. when I bought, in description it says 3gs. So nothing is possible then😮
