Accidently did a factory reset on a deactivated phone, need help to reactivate for Wi-Fi use. Its an iphone 3gs. Verizon please help

hello
Hoping someone can please help me. I bought a new phone 4 and gave the old phone (iphone 3g) to my 3 year old daughter. she loves it and can take pics, videos, and connect to wi-fi to download and play games. She's always wanting to play her educational games.
, When i was trying to download some songs for her so she can listen to them. it asked me to do a factory reset. I didnt know what it was, so i dedcided to go ahead an do it Next thing you know, I can/t use the phone no more.
When I turn on the phone, the first screen asks me to select my language, English or Espanol. I select English and then it forwards me to the next screen. The next screen says, "Press Send to activate your phone". When I click on Send, it requires me to enter my mobile phone number so that it can begin the activation of the phone.
I dont want to activate this old phone to use for calls, I just want to fix the phone so that my daughter can continue to use it for her use by playin games listenin to music and whatever else she does.she really loves this phone.
But I can't get past the Activation screen to use the phone. Can someone PLEASE PLEASE help me? maybe theres there is a activation number I can use to bypass that activation screen?i saw that verizon gave one to another guy for his samsung, maybe you guy can do the same for me?
PLEASE HELP ME!
Thank you in advance

Unfortunately, you can't. There's no way around it. You'll have to get the ID and password used to originally activate the phone or you will not be able to activate it again. If you can't contact them, try to get your money back because you won't be able to use it.

Kernel panic keeps happening even after I did the factory reset. any suggestions ?

Hi Hallry,
Let's free your device! It's important to have a properly working device. Have you attempted an alternate Hard Reset on the device http://vz.to/19r2DOO? If the alternate Hard Reset does not work, then the device would need to be replaced. How long have you had this device? Any liquid or physical damage to the device? Keep me posted
Thanks,

I did a factory reset on my late 2008 MacBook from a Snow Leopard disc. It installed fine, but as soon as I began to use the computer (safari) it froze. Couldn't even force quit. So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up.

So I held down the power button to turn it off, and now it won't start up. It goes to the grey Apple screen and just sits there loud as can be. Help! Please keep in mind I've not done anything like this before and am going to need a little hand-holding. Thanks in advance.

Hi. Don't worry it's nothing serious. Insert the Instal Disc (Snow Leopard) and press the C button while turning on the computer. Once you see the desktop, go to Utility and choose Disk Utility. Select the Macintosh Partition on the left window pane and then click on Repair Disk and Repair Disk Permissions on the bottom right corner. Wait for both processes to finish. Click on the Apple icon (top left corner) and choose quit. Your computer should restart. See if it reboots normally. If not you can always reinstall the OS following the same steps. Good luck!

I sold my iPad and put it in the mail and it seems to be stolen, I did a factory reset of the iPad to clear my data. Is there any way to retrieve it?

I sold my iPad on eBay. I mailed the item and the buyer claims to not have it. I did a factory reset before sending and it is not coming up in my cloud. Is there another way to retrieve it?

If it was restored as new then it no longer can be tracked.

TS1702 Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset. Now I can't get most of my apps back because I can't download version 5.0. I paid for some of these apps.

If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Try holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Try rebooting the phone - hold both buttons (top and home) until the apple appears.

Backed up with 10.3, did a factory reset and now it comes up as 10.2 and I can't restore

I was on 10.3 with by Q10 but it the other day it wasn't connected to my provider. I did a back up and then and factory reset. Now my phone is cleared with 10.2., When i do a restore with bb link it won't let me because my phone has to have 10.3. I called Rogers ( my carrier ) and they said that 10.3 it's being offered right now due to some issues BB was having. When i run a software update on my phone or via link it says it's up to date with 10.2.
I lost all my text messages, settings, media, apps...
I have my contacts and calendar syned with outlook but not being able to restore the other stuff is very annoying..
any help?

Hi,
as far as I understand the situation is as follwos:
1) You had 10.3 on your Q10 and ran the backup
2) Now you did a wipe and the Q10 is back to 10.2
3) You can not restore the data becuase it was backed up as 10.3 and the device is on 10.2
4) It does not provide you the possibility to update to 10.3
From what I know, Blackberry detected an issue with one of the latest versions of 10.3 and therefore stopped the deployment. During the next days they should release the updated version adn deploy it globally. Then I assume your Q10 will prompt you for update again.
I had the same with a Z30 I recently received as my business mobile...I wondered why I was unable to update to 10.3 a this was released some weeks ago. But then i read about the issues and that they put 10.3 for the "old" devices on hold. 2 days ago I received 10.3 for the Z30. Therfore I am confident that it will be available for your Q10 soon (always depends on BB and the carriers)

HELP I did a factory reset on my dv7-6195

Please help.I did a factory reset on my laptop. and following instuctions i backed up my files onto an go-flex external drive.Im assuming it backed up programs as well as libraries ..documents etc...its on g local disc.when i view the drive i just see a bunch of numbers so i really dont know how to get the desired files back on my computer.i did a paste and copy of the drive but it just copied it back on to the drive. so oviously im a complete novice w everything computer. with having a factory reset the files they ask me to backup...cant be added{ recovered} because the manager says no back up has been performed so i know im doing something wrong.there an option to include the folders-files in the library would that make the files more discript ? then i can move them to their appropriate locations..including back onto the external drive..this is all guess work..and finally im under warranty and have total care as well...im running windows 7..thank you in advance. oh and something went amiss when the copy was made but one window covered the other window to see what happened to the file.

Usually there is one .EXE file within the backed up files, Restore.exe or similiar, that can be double clicked to run and it extracts the files to a folder on your C drive.
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

Am I the only one who facing this problem or there someone else. I did a factory reset yesterday but it still laggy. Do I need to wait for the next ios 7 update or what?

Hi Amish,
I should have mentioned that I have signed out of the iCloud Control Panel several times and no syncing occurs.
Thanks for your response anyway. I appreciate your feedback.

I did a factory reset on my ipod touch, but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with the loading sign

i did a factory reset on my ipod touch but now when i try turning it on it just goes to the apple screen with a loading sign, ive let my battery die and tried reconnecting but it still wont work. it doesnt even come up on itunes.

Why won't it let you sync? What happens when you try to sync it? Any error messages from iTunes? How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library? In other words, what options do you have selected from under the iPod's Music tab in iTunes? To access this tab, plug your iPod in, select it under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes, and over to the right locate and select the Music tab along the top.
Or are you trying to manually manage your iPod's contents? In other words, is the Manually manage music and videos option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab?
