IPhone :: Activating After Update 3Gs?
May 23, 2012
I'm having trouble activating my phone after updating & restoring it.
It was acidently updated to 5.1 and then I had no option but to restore it now its says 'could not activate'.
It was a phone from the UK which was unlocked and now i'm trying to use it on a zimbabwe network.
What do I do if i'm not able to find out the original carrier? And how can I just activate it in the first place (before considering getting it unlocked in any way)

iPhone 3GS, iOS 5.1.1

Updated to the latest software this morning and synced etc. all was good accept there was a box in setup stuck at 55% uploading for my contacts. So after leaving it for a couple of hours etc., I just cancelled that part of the process as everything including email was working fine. Since that however I now have no email push! It is asking me to reactivate although it still sees my 2 accounts Email Accounts (2) shows in set up but when i enter it states that there are no email account activated. I try to reactivate them however only give me the box for enterprise accounts not internet based account i.e. hotmail. I try to activate and it eventually tells me that this fails. All has been working with my emails since i got the phone absolutely fine until today!

I have contacted my service provider to unlock my new iPhone 4S, and they said "The iPhone has now been unlocked - Please replace the SIM (use a SIM which has never been used with this iPhone) and connect to iTunes or perform a software restore via iTunes."I then did this, connected my iPhone to Wi-Fi but this message came up: "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 few minutes."When I connected it to iTunes, the message "We are unable to continue with your activation at this time." came up.I tried again many times, but this message still always comes up. What should I do?

I -tunes made me restore the phone, with out the option of back up. So i did because it went to recovery mode. Then it said your attempting to activate a phone that has no sim card. So i went to ATT and bought one. They couldn't get it to activate and said try from your pc in i-tunes or go see Apple. I-tunes is still telling me no sim even after reinstalling I-tunes and another restore and update to latest software. ?

I'm having problems with my iPhone 3Gs. I had it jailbreaked with Redsn0w, then I restored it to the most update iOS through the newest iTunes. I can't get past the activation menu at all. I tried restoring in DFU mode and still no luck, even with using other SIM cards. I tried downgrading to iOS 5.0 and I get "error 60000ms giving up" on the iPhone screen and I can't edit hosts files at all. I'm using Windows Vista too.

My phone was stolen and i recently got it back and took it to the at&t store and got the phone number and sim changed back over but it keeps saying that the iphone is disabled, and to connect to itunes. When I connect to itunes, it says type in the password. But on the phone, the only thing i can do is make emergency calls. How do i get the disabling off?

I received a 4S 16GB black as a gift from my cousin. He bought the Iphone from France with Bouygues operator. But I want to use it in Turkey.I dont know if it is simlocked or not. But when I try to activate it with Turkish GSM card, it is not accepted but signal bar and 3G is working. By the way, I could activate it by Boygues sim card then inserted the Turkish GSM oper. card (Turkcell ) , the name of Turkcell apprared in options >about > operator. Then it said it needs to be activated. but it couldnt. I also upgrade ios into 5.1.1 .

While I've sat out for the iPhone, iPhone 3G, and iPhone 3GS, I was unable to get my hands on a launch-day iPhone 4 this year due to work scheduling. I was able to sell my own iPhone 3GS and purchase an iPhone 4 on eBay (yeah yeah). Well, its coming tomorrow morning and it just hit me that I have a SIM card and it has a (blank, I know, I did some searching) Micro-SIM card.
Will I be able to just plug it into iTunes and activate on my account? Or will I have to actually call or go to AT&T to discuss this with them?I don't want to accidentally activate the eBay purchaser's account, since the box is still sealed.Sorry if this has been answered before. I've found questions regarding iPhone purchases based on other lines but not one like this.

I just bought an iPhone 4S UNLOCKED on March 2012 in Austin, TX.
I bring it to Brazil, but when I try to use my carrier's SIM card the iPhone locks the system saying "Only compatible SIM cards from a supported carrier my be used to activate iPhone. insert the SIM card that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carrier". When I try to use AT&Ts SIM card (that came with the iPhone but doesnt work here in Brazil) the iPhone unlocks the system. I just want my unlocked iPhone....

When I decided to finally update my iPhone 4s from ios 6.0.1 to 7.1.2, it said I required a SIM card to activate it. The only problem is that my iphone locked to one company in Ireland, and the SIM card is in Ireland too. I'm now in New Zealand, and I have no access to unlock it, having asked Spark NZ, and Vodafone for Unlocks. Is there any way to activate my iPhone without a SIM Card?

The two iPhone 4s I ordered will be here tomorrow to be activated on a family plan for me and my brother. Email from AT&T with activation instructions mention connecting to iTunes. If they are activated on one iTunes account, can one be transferred to a different iTunes account later? Reason I'm asking is because I'm a telecommuter so will be home and can take care of it all tomorrow. My brother doesn't get home from work until 7:30 pm so wondering if I should wait to let him activate his own phone or not. He has his own computer....I need to ask him if he has an iTunes account.
Does it matter one way or the other? If we keep both on one iTunes account, how do apps work? Do they install on just one phone or will they install on both? Right now I have a bunch of free apps selected but I image one or the other of us will want to buy something eventually.

My iPhone 4 shipped, yay! This is my first iPhone upgrade and have never needed to restore the backup from my 3g to a new phone. So my question is. I have my new IP4 shipping to my house but I sync with iTunes on my work computer.
Can I activate my new IP4 on iTunes on my home PC in the evening when I get home to my shiny new phone and then restore all my settings, data and apps from my work PC iTunes the next morning at work? Or do I need to just wait until I get to work to activate the new phone?
