Why can't I activate my iPhone 3Gs after set up ?

Did you deactivate the Activation Lock feature before you erased it?

  • Why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?

    why can't i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading it to ios 6?
    It says,
    ''There is no sim card installed in the iphone you are attempting to activate''
    Thanks for your help in advance!

    There are several common causes for this problem:
    Your security software (Antivirus, firewall, router settings) is blocking access to gs.apple.com, Apple's activation servers. Try temporarily disabling your security applications on your computer.
    You have a redirect in your hosts file that defines a different IP address for gs.apple.com. you must delete all references to gs.apple.com from your hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, or /etc/hosts on a Mac)
    Your phone is jailbroken or otherwise hacked.

  • TS2529 why can't i activate my iphone 3gs?

    my iphone 3gs couldn't be activated. help me.

    There are four possible causes of the activation error:
    The activation server is unavailable. Rare, but it happens. Usually fixed within minutes.
    Your antivirus or firewall (or your router's firewall) is blocking access to the URLgs.apple.com on ports 80 and 443.
    Your phone is jailbroken.
    Your phone isn't jailbroken, but the computer you are connected to during the restore or update was used to hack or jailbreak some other iOS device, and its network database was corrupted in the process.
    Perhaps this will provide you some clues as to how to proceed. If your iPhone has not been jailbroken, Apple has some troubleshooting suggestions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3424?viewlocale=en_US  
    If your iPhone has been jailbroken, you're on your own. We can provide no assistance for jailbroken devices in these forums.

    Not a good sign. Try forcing the phone into recovery mode & restoring it. If this fails, make an appointment at an Apple store:
    Turn your phone off. Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

  • HT1414 how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    how can i activate my iphone 3gs after upgrading to ios6? it could not activate....

    If your phone was previously hacked to unlock it, when you updated the hack was removed and it's re-locked to the original carrier.  The phone will now activate and operate only with that original carrier.

  • HT201210 i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    i can't activate my iphone 3gs after update

    Sounds like your phone has locked back up to it's original phone carrier.
    Where did you buy this phone from?  Was it ever locked to a different phone carrier?

  • I cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    i cant activate my iphone 3gs after upgrade to 5.1.1

    I am experiencing the same issue and could use some advice:
    Yesterday I plugged my Iphone 3GS into my computer and I selected in Itunes to update to the latest IOS 5.1.1.
    Before I did this the iphone worked correctly, and after I did this it will not let me access the apps at all. I went to the Apple store and the rep told me I needed to have a working AT&T sim installed in it to complete the upgrade. I went to the AT&T store and had them put one of their working sim card in and it would not work.  The AT&T rep said he has seen several people with Iphone 3GS who updated to the latest IOS 5.1.1 whos phones will not recognize the sim card and thus will not let you get to the apps. 
    Does anyone know how to correct this problem?

    i am unable to activate my iphone 3gs after updating ios 6.1.3?

    The activation servers were down for a bit yesterday.
    Try again.
    A SIM is required for activation. If problems continue, the two most common activation issues are the result of a hacked or jailbroken device.
