    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • VZW Iphone 4 Will not Activate

    I got a used iPhone 4 for Verizon Wireless and it will not activate on Itunes to get a imei to activate the phone.  Itunes keep saying "We are sorry we are unable to continue with your activation at this time, please try again later or call customer care"   When I try to restore I also get a error number 1.  Should I goto to the apple store or Verizon.  Who can help the best
    The person who sold it to me claimed it had a clean ESN and there are no issues.

    Error 1 can be an issue of security software interfering with the restore, so try it with your antivirus/antispyware software temporarily disabled. It can also indicate a hardware failure which would necessitate getting it serviced.

  • HT4061 My iPhone 4 will not restore.

    My iPhone 4 will not restore.  It displays a picture of a USB cable with an arrow indicating I need to connect to iTunes.  iTunes sends me codes 1603 or 1604.  I follow the instructions and get the same result. Is there anything else I should do?

    Here's the meaning of error 1604 (also applies to 1603):
    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • HT4061 My iphone 4 will not power on. What should I do?

    My Iphone 4 will not power on.  What steps should I take and in what order?

    Hi,
    Could you please answer these questions for me?
    - Is the phone charged (You never know...)
    - Have you recently dropped your phone?
    - Has your phone recently come into any conatct with water?
    Try charging it and then holding the Sleep button (The one on the top) and the home button at the same time for a few seconds and see if it does anything!
    If this doesn't work, try plugging it into your computer and see if you get any response from it, for example, if the computer reconizes the phone or not.
    We need to detirmine whether it is a fault with the display or if it is a technical problem in the phone (If you have dropped it or any water has gotten inside etc)
    Because it is an iPhone 4 I doubt you will have any warrenty on it now, so if it needs repairing I am afraid you will have to pay for it! You could either take it into apple or you could take it to a 3rd party phone repair company.
    Hope this helps =)
    Thanks

    No ideas on how to fix a hardware problem besides Apple
    You might try calling Apple Customer Service and asking about the possibility of shipping it to them

  • After downloading iOS7 my iPhone 5 will not activate

    After downloading iOS7 my iPhone 5 will not activate

    All of Apple's servers...including the activation servers are pretty much flooded with users like you doing the same thing. Be patient and keep at it...or wait till the traffic to them has decreased and then try again. Coming back to it tomorrow  (if that's a viable option for you) will likely increase your chances of not having issues.

  • My iPhone 3GS will not activate following update to iOS 6.0.1

    Hi guys,
    My mate has just been given a new iPhone 3GS, which is locked to the Vodafone network. He has bought a $2 Vodafone SIM to ensure a smooth transition.
    The issue we are having is that following an update of the iPhone to iOS 6, the iPhone would reach a screen where the following error message appears:
    "Your iPhone could not be actived because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes. If the problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support"
    I plugged in the phone to iTunes, and received the following error message
    "We are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."
    I contacted the carrier, Vodafone, and was sent through various stages of the support team who confirmed what I though: I have to restore the iPhone. I completed the restore, and even upgraded the iPhone to iOS 6.0.1 in the process.
    Upon the iPhone restoring itself, the exact same problem reoccurred. My mate is pretty confident that the iPhone has not been jailbroken, so I am seeking the support of someone here in Apple who may have some idea.
    Can anybody please offer their assistance regarding this issue? From what I've read of the forums, it would appear that this is not an uncommon occurence, so hopefully somebody knows what the issue is.
    Looking forward to hearing a response.
    Kris.

    LOL! - you poor bugger, Ognyan!
    I'm starting to serihously think this phone has been jailbroken... I've got a senior technical support advisor at Apple who is working on the case. He has gone through everything he can possibly think of, but won't take "no" for an answer.
    At the moment, he has logged everything with the Engineering Department, who is going to look into it further using the IMEI number and see what they come up with. If worse comes to worse, Apple will apparently replace the phone for a fee. The problem is that it is 800+ days out of warranty...
    Anyway, we'll see how we go. If anybody has got any ideas about this, please continue to provide answers. I appreciate all responses

  • Factory-unlocked iPhone 4 will not activate

    Hello,
    I bought iPhone 4 (Factory-unlocked) from Australia and brought back to Japan.
    I tried to activate the phone first time and it asks me to insert SIM.
    So I inserted the trimmed SIM (Japanese). But the iTunes says "The SIM card inserted is not supported."
    However, the trimmed SIM with proper adopter works fine with Japanese phone.
    I tried this with many other SIM in Japan but failed to activate iPhone 4.
    I also called up Apple in Australia and gave them the IMEI number to confirm the phone.
    They confirmed that the phone is proper and factory-unlocked one from Apple.
    I also bought the so-called "Activation SIM" and tried activation with this SIM.
    This time, it let me sync with my iTunes successfully but cannot get any cellphone signal obviously.
    Now, I can see menu and contents on the phone but it keeps shows "Waiting for activation".
    So I changed the SIM to Japanese SIM but again, it does not activate nor sync to iTunes.
    Could someone help?
    Do I need Australian SIM?
    Can I activate with Australian SIM (that supports roaming in Japan) in Japan ?

    Hi I am too living in Japan and bought an iPhone 4 back from Australia in September. I had activated it using a Jailbreak app, activation successful.
    Now the problem, you are NOT able to use an iPhone in Japan that is not officially documented from Softbank. This means that Softbank has every IMEI number of each iPhone to be used in their system. When roaming, in Japan let’s say with an AT&T iPhone from the USA, this will work, because the system recognizes that it is a foreign number in the system and then applies the roaming charges to your Home Counties account. I had to go and pay an RF test registration fee to have my iPhone IMEI number placed on a list that Softbank accesses when registering, without the registration fee from the RF test certification company, the number is NOT added to the list… Softbank will then tell you it is NOT allowed to be used in Japan. This cost me more then paying 6 months of subscription and services if I had just opened a new account and contract with Softbank for a new Japanese iPhone 4.
