Already activated iPhone 5 iOS 7.0.2 asks for activation - Unable to activate. now what?

So, my phone has not been used in 14 days now, cus my charger stopped working wich it shouldnt, I guess?
Anyways, thats not the point. When I finally got a new charger in the mail, I plugged my phone and powered it on.
Now it asks for activation. Im like; okay, didnt i do this twice already?
anyway, I tried to activate, both with wifi, and mobile network.
No success.
I even tried activation through iTunes.
NO ******* SUCCESS.
How come my device suddenly not work, while being untouched, out of power and completely unable to turn it on?
Someone help me out, I really want to be able to use my phone, and this situation costs me alot of money, while im unable to answere my phone.

Just updated iPhone iOS and it is asking for the wrong AppleID. How do I change it if I can't get into the iPhone?

I just updated the iPhone iOS. I get the Hello Screen. It asks me to choose a WiFi. Then it takes me to a login but it has the WRONG AppleID listed. I changed the AppleID months ago. I do not have the password for the old ID, and I have no access to that email account to reset it. What the heck do I do? I can't get past this step.

UPDATE: Problem solved! Just got off the phone with Apple support. It only took all of about 10 minutes tops to fix, which was great. I think it was relatively painless because I never changed my password. Even when I changed email addresses/Apple IDs, my password never changed. So if there was an old password that you no longer remembered associated with the old Apple ID, I imagine that could be trickier.
These were the steps:
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> tap old Apple ID --> Sign Out
Settings --> Messages --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> Facetime --> Send & Recieve --> log-in with current Apple ID
Settings --> iTunes & App Store --> he had me verify that it was showing my current Apple ID, which it was, so we didn't need to mess with anything there
Settings --> iCloud --> it was still showing the old Apple ID and wouldn't let me change it (it was grayed out), so he had me scroll down and Delete Account. This is where I think I needed to enter my password, but fortunately it was the same as always, so no problem there.
-- Select "Keep data on my iPhone" or something like that
Then:
Settings --> iCloud --> log-in with your current Apple ID/iCloud account.
-- Select "Merge" so it syncs everything up.
All done!
Good luck to anyone else who has this very annoying little issue! Hope it's as relatively painless to fix as it was for me.

Take it to an Apple store and they will diagnose the hardware, and replace it if it is failing (which is likely).
You can try restoring it using iTunes, set it up as New. If the problem exists before your restore your backup then it is almost certainly hardware.

HT4061 after reseth no home page asking for activation but not activating

I had my Iphone 3gs reseth after reset asking for activation when I click to activate a note comes up it can not be activated the server is temperarly unavailable no matter how many times I tryed

When you said you had it reset, did you not do this yourself? Has the device ever been jailbroken? Try this support document and restore the device http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

I have successfully restored my iPhone 3 gs( Ios ) by itunes. After activation it is asking for activation. When I am going for activation its saying that no SIM card is inserted, but I have already Ufone SIM card is inserted.

My all contacts and all data is in this mobile. Now Iam unable to contact anyone. Please help me. How can I sort it out?
Thank you

Well, if you did it yourself, then there is a chance that you damaged some other component inside the device that is causing your issue. The iPhone's are not user serviceable, and once you have opened the device you have voided any warranty and post-warranty support from Apple. I would try Google to see if you can find any other way to repair your device, as Apple will no longer look at it.

First, we're not Apple here (Apple does not participate in this forum). We're only users like you.
The previous owner has not given you the correct ID and password for you to use.
If the iphone has iOS version 7, then read through the following...

My IPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 any idea To unblock it please

My iPhone 5 is blocked after asking for update IOS 7.0.2 it shows on the screen iTunes with an arrow. Any idea To unblock it please?

I have a similair problem. My Iphone 5 has been doing a recovery for approximately 6 to 7 hours. Should I expect it to take this long or should I restart the process? Itunes does say it is doing a recovery and looks active but I question the length of time that this is taking.
Thank You in Advance...

My iPhone 5 keeps on asking for activation....

All the time it does this, and it's searching for service the whole time and all of a sudden the Apple logo appears and wants to be activated and I've activated it lots of times, but keeps on coming. Is is because i'm running iOS 8.0.2?!! Sick of this, HELP!!!

My iPhone 5 also started doing this since updating to IOS 8.0.0, it asks for activation at least three times a day and says "searching" for signal A LOT, it even drops my calls. This is ridiculous! I can only use WiFi to activate, it will not allow me to use my LTE to activate, if I'm not around WiFi I can't activate my phone. Please fix this issue I've been on the phone with Verizon seems to be an iPhone issue not a Verizon issue.

Setting up and activating iPhone
To set up and activate iPhone, turn on iPhone and follow the Setup Assistant. The Setup Assistant
steps you through the setup process, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network, signing in with or
creating a free Apple ID, setting up iCloud, turning on recommended features such as Location
Services and Find My iPhone, and activating iPhone with your carrier. You can also restore from
an iCloud or iTunes backup during setup.
Activation can be done over a Wi-Fi network or, with iPhone 4S or later, over your carrier’s cellular
network (not available in all areas). If neither option is available, you need to connect iPhone to
your computer running iTunes for activation. You might also read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424

this does not help at all for the second owner, after making the first owner id with careless, sorry for my english ...
Careless? Possible, but unlikely. Most likely the phone was stolen from the first owner. It would be a VERY careless iPhone owner who did not erase their personal information from a phone before selling it, and to do that it is necessary to disable Activation Lock. In most places in the world knowingly using stolen property is a crime, so the fact that the phone doesn't work may be the least of one's risks.

I updated my ipad to ios 8 and now my ipad is locked asking for activation when i put it doesnt accept my apple id do you have a solution?

Did you by this iPad new? Or used? If it was a used iPad, you'll need the Apple ID login for the original owner. If you bought it new, contact AppleCare with proof that you are the original owner and they may be able to help you.

IPhone notify me about incorrect sim and ask for activation.

Hi!
I`ve change my sim-free iPhone 4s (Repair No: R70901554).
Now I try to use new iPhone i received with local russian cellular network but i can`t. When I insert local sim-card the iPhone tell me a about incorrect sim and ask for activation. How i can fix it?
Thanks a lot in advance!
P.S. now i can`t visit any Apple Store because I`m in Russia now and we have no local Apple Store here.

In my online bank i can see only this:
APPLE STORE #R003 BELLEVUE WA 2,852.48 USD
No further details.

I got a Sim Free 64GB Iphone 5 from Carphonewarehouse in UK n gifted the same to my Bro in law in India. He inserted the nano sim and can see the carrier and 3G symbol but the phone asks for activation. Its a SIM FREE phone, why cant he use it?

Hi,
Please help me with this as the phone is currently lying as a dead paperwieght with my brother in law. The phone, even though bought as SIM FREE, keeps asking for ACTIVATION!!!
Does it mean that I need to activate it with a SIM of one of the carriers that offers a contract and then I am free to use it with any SIM anywhere in the world?
Please assist in as much detail as you can.
Thanks.

Hi FelipeV,
Thanks, tried that.. half their numbers keep going busy and when they do pick up they are unable to assist.
I called up APPLE in UK as well, no help there either..
but.. I say.. its a SIM FREE phone for crying out loud, what is this ACTIVATION nonsense??
Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

I updated my iphone and when it came time for activation it won't work and keeps telling me to try again. At the top it says "No Service" and I have my SIM card in and a good WiFi connection and have connected it through iTunes but it says I have no SIM card and need to disconnect and insert my SIM. I don't understand why this keeps happening and it's been going on for a wile now. I have tried over and over again to get this iPhone to work but nothig is happening. I've even gone on the website for support (apple.com/support) but cannot find anything that will help me with this situation. Can someone please help me find a solution to this problem? I have been without a phone and do not have money to buy another one and it is crucial for me to get it fixed. Thanks.

What computer operating system is involved in the Premiere Elements 11 and 13 issues? Same computer or different ones? Are you installing from purchased download installation files or from purchased installation disc? Does Premiere Elements 11 work completely on this computer whereas 13 will not?
Let us go through the typical drill so as to take nothing for granted.
1. Does the problem exist with or without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working with an individual home computer or in a
school or company network?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator and is there any "domain" account involved?
3. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on the computer with Premiere Elements?
Let us start by ruling in or out any of the above, and then we can decide what next.
Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.
