Can't activate my iphone on ios 5... Help pls

I installed ios 5 on my iphone 3gs. Whan i start up iphone i need to choise region, to use location services and more,,,than it need to activate my iphone. But he can't do it becouse now i don'h have service. He says to there is no sim card. And i cant start using phone, i can't do anything. I had unlocked iphone before. Can someone help me? And if there is way to downgrade to 4.2.1.  Pls help.

It all depends on how it was unlocked. If it wasn't by the carrier and/or wasn't purchased as unlocked directly from Apple (in other words, it was unlocked by hacking) you are out of luck, at least as far as an Apple forum is concerned.

  • Can't activate my iPhone on iOS 5

    A few hours ago I was accepted on Apple's development program, but now I'm running into some trouble. I've activated my iPhone 4's UDID on the developer site and installed iOS 5. Once I've done this I can't pass the activation, it says:
    "We're unable to complete your activation
    This device is not registered as part of the phone development program.
    If you are a member of the program,please register your device in the iphone development program portal."
    So anyone got some advice for me?

    Please don't post here about beta software. There are confidential forums set aside for developers to use. Developer Forums. If you are a paid developer or seed tester then it's a violation of your NDA to post in these forums.

    1. You could not have installed iOS 6.1.1, it is 6.1.2
    2. It will get activated - if unlocked, with any SIM else you need SIM; active or inactive from the Carrier.

  • Can't activate the iPhone 3GS after updating to iOS 5

    Hi All,
            I updated my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5 and i got the setup screen for the language and region and eventually i can't activate the iPhone
    as the iTunes says " there is no sim card installed in the iphone that you are attempting to activate "
    However the iPhone is already unlocked and i've been using it with 4.3.3 and also 4.3.5 and it was absolutely fine.
    Now i keep rebooting it and removing the sim card (which is working on another handset alreay) and it says the same msg
    PLEASE HELP !!

    First off, if you're using stuff like Redsnow and Ultrasnow you have violated any kind of warranty you had. This is no longer Apple's problem so look for help elsewhere. Second, you should have known that if you try to upgrade an illegally jailbroken or unlocked phone with the stock apple update, you would lose both the unlock and jailbreak. Obviously you're baseband is messed up and if you flashed it with the iPad 6.15 baseband you're out of luck ever trying to update the iOS version legitimately since you can't undue a baseband flash. You should have known that before you started messing with it. So either get a legit contract with AT&T, sprint or Verizon or try to salvage your mess through a jailbreaking/unlocking forum. You won't get any help here my friend.

  • I can not activate my iphone 4 after installing the firmware ios 7, can not remember the password apple id, a check box is all

    I can not activate my iphone 4 after installing the firmware ios 7, can not remember the password apple id, a check box are all available, please look into this matter
    serial number TP113FG5A4S, imei 012657000548662

    Copied from my initial post:
    Then you'll NEVER be able to re-activate the phone. This is called Activation Lock & there is no way around it if you don't know that info.
    You can try & recover the ID here:

    After updating on IOS 7.0.2 I can't activate my Iphone A1332 emc380a
    Serial Number: dnpglq2bdpmw

    You're the one that purchased an iPhone on a street corner. Take responsibility for your own actions.

    Next time, purchase from a legitimate source & you won't be in the fix you're now in.

    Only its legitimate owner can remove an iPhone from Find My iPhone. If you did not purchase it directly from its legitimate owner you're out of luck.

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.
    If you cannot get this information from the seller
    Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Dear Sir,
    Kindly help me to activate my iPhone 3G as I can't activate my iPhone cause of the activation server is unavailable, what I have to do?
    Best Regards,
    Youssef

    Where did you purchase the iPhone? What country are you in?
    Is the iPhone locked to a provider other than the one who
    issued the SIM you are trying to use? Is your iPhone jailbroken
    or otherwise hacked? What version of iOS are you running?
    Did you recently update before this problem occurred?
