Cannot activate my iphone after updating

after updating ios5.01, my Iphone 3GS needs to be activated. While i was activating it, it keeps come back saying" your iphone can not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavaliable"  I've been trying all night, and the problem still persists, what's wrong with it?

Sounds to me like your phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you updated it.

  • I cant activate my iPhone after updating to ios 7.1.2

    Hello,
    I cant activate my iphone after updating to 7.1.2. Before this I update my iPhone from 7.0.6 to 7.1.1 everything goes fine. But after update to 7.1.2 I cant activate my iPhone eventhough I use the same Apple ID when I activate this iPhone.
    Please dont ask : Maybe you forgot your Apple ID password? - I use my apple ID almost for 3 years for my iPod n iPhone. And it still fine for my iPod.the
    I have : -
    1. A box with same IMEI serial number.
    2. Service Card with same IMEI serial number.
    3. All original accessories that come with this iPhone.
    This is just a prove that this iPhone is not a stolen iPhone.

  • HT201263 Can anyone help? I cannot activate my  iphone after an ios7 update.

    Can anyone help? I cannot activate my iphone4 after an ios7 update. I have carried out a  recovery-mode restore but when the phone is switched back on I enter the UserID and Password that are verified via itunes and icloud but no joy. It tells me the used ID and password are not correct.  This is is second hand phone that I have hand for a year. Apple says that I have to contact the previous owner to get their User Name and Password. This is impossible.They might have even passed away. I can believe Apple would do such a crazy software release.  There must be thousands of people in my shoes. 

    This is the new Activation Lock feature that users have been wanting for years to prevent stolen phones from being restored and used by the thief.
    If you cannot get the password to the previous user's AppleID then the phone will be useless to you.

  • Could not activate the Iphone after updating

    I just update the software and after updating, it shows on the phone slide to set up, I did it and put all the information that is needed but unfortunately I could not activate the phone, did it many times...but it shows, iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I tried even connecting to itunes to activate but still same result...The iphone was perfectly working before I update the software...what must i do now? help me please.

    Generally this is a sign that the iPhone has been jailbroken or hacked.
    Google may provide some direction if this is the case.

    cannot activate phone after updating

    it seems like apple's activation servers have gone down under the weight of the overwhelming amount of activation requests. you will be able to activate your phone once the servers are able to catch up with the activation requests.

    FYI, no one here works for Apple.  We are all users like yourself.
    Activation issues are typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken to unlock.  Is that the case?  If so, no help can be provided via these forums.

  • HT4972 I cannot activate my iphone after upadating it.

    Aftler updating my iphone into the latest software, it seems that it was reset and i have to set it up again. When im all done and the last thing to do is to activate it, that's where the problem came in. It always says that please consult in here, apple support.

    Before someone objects to my statement; I correct myself
    Users with carrier locked iPhones which were hacked to be used with another carrier usually encounter this problem after the update.

  • HT4972 I can not activate my iphone after updating it!!!

    I updated my iphone 3gs from version 4.1, which took about 8 hours, now it needs to be reactivated but I keep getting an error msg that the server is not available. Please help!!!!

    It doesn't matter why you had to do it. The fact is, you made an unauthorized modification to the phone.
    You hacked it.
    Hacked and jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the terms of service.
    You're on your own.
