HT1766 iphone activation server unavailable

i just updated my iphone 3gs. however, the first restart of my phone could not activate due the fact that activation server is temporary unavailable. could anyone tell me how to solve this prob. and my sim cannot be detected.

That is symptomatic of a phone that was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

  • I can not activate my iphone, activation server unavailable, I cant use my phone, can someone help me?

    My iphone started to restore without asking me first, and after that I havent been able to restore it or use it, it says I cant activate it because the activation server is not available now. I havent been able to use it for more than 12 hours,
    Someone knows what can I do?
    Thanks

    If you are developer (the only official way to get iOS5) then you are keenly aware of the non-disclosure agreement that states IOS5 issues cannot be discussed in open forums.
    If  you are not a developer, restore the device to the latest version of iOS 4 or try google for assistance.
    No one here can assist you with Beta issues.    

  • Re: Impossible to activate your iPhone, activation server temporarily unavailable.. how long it will take?

    hi there
    just update ios to try beta 6  to our test iphone 3gs  but we got the message
    Impossible to activate your iPhone, activation server temporarily unavailable..
    we try several times to activate it but nothing. we have the dev account and also the provis auth. any idea why this could happen ?
    thanks

    As you are running a beta you must be a developer. You will have to go to the Developer forums for help.
    I suspect there is nothing wrong with the activation server; more likely you hacked the phone to get the beta. Now you are stuck.

  • IPhone won't activate after restore. Activation server unavailable

    I restored my iPhone 4 through iTunes and it keeps saying "unable to activate phone, activation server unavailable".

    There are two common causes for this problem:
    1. Your antivirus or firewall is blocking access to gs.apple.com. Disable them and try again.
    2. You once, at some time in the past, used your computer to hack or jailbreak some iOS device (not necessarily the iPhone with the problem). If you did your network database on your computer is corrupted, and you will have to edit your hosts file and delete any lines that contain gs.apple.com.

  • IPhone activation server temporarily unavailable

    I'm trying to install iPhone OS 3.0, it downloaded just fine but when it came time to install the install failed because "The iPhone activation server is temporarily unavailable". I have been retrying the install process constantly but have had no luck, is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any tips on how to accomplish a successful install?

    This is a server-side issue, so there really isn't anything you can do besides waiting. Currently, there are a lot of people attempting to perform the activation which requires a 'green light' from an Apple server, and this server seems to not meet the demand. It's a shame that Apple did not prepare for the OS 3.0 launch properly - they knew there will be a lot of iPhone customers trying to upgrade right away and still failed to set aside enough computing power to perform activations.

  • HT201210 Trying to activate my iPhone, but it says activation server unavailable, tried connecting to iTunes, but I get same message

    As above really, keep getting activation server unavailable, after trying to activate my phone after a restore

    I do have a SIM card installed, albeit it says invalid sim.and this was my reason for a restore.
      My sim is the same sim I have had since I bought the phone new, it has never been removed and the phone is not jail broken.
      Still cannot activate due to server not available!

  • IPhone activation server temporarily unavailable SOLUTION!

    A lot of people, including me, were having this problem. I found a solution that wored for me! Here's what I did...
    First, I pressed OK on the message about the iPhone activation server.
    Second, I disconected my Internet Connection.
    Third, I pressed Update on iTunes and it told me I needed Internet.
    Fourth, I reconnected and pressed Update and it worked!
    I hope this helps!

    That's almost always because the phone was hacked to unlock it.
    You can not get help for a hacked or jailbroken phone here.

    Looks like you r not alone, few more people with at&T can't activate. If memory serves right same happened first week iPhone 4s came out. Just too many people activating their toys. I d probably try to do it at 2 or 3 in the morning. Sorry.

  • Stuck on contacting iphone activation server

    i tried searching forum for answer and didn't find anything
    trying to update to new iphone software on my 3G.
    Seems to be stuck on contacting iphone activation server.
    I have tried it several different days.
    I have seen other websites say to turn off wifi after it starts contacting the activation server.
    That does not work.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thank you!

    You need an active connection to the internet. So if you are using Little Snitch on the Mac or other Firewall make sure you open up ports.
    If you wife can update and restore then using the same user, computer, internet connection, etc should allow you to update your iPhone as well.

  • Activation Server unavailable?

    I'm getting an error message upon activation. "Activation Server Unavailable". Anyone else have this issue currently? Called customer service and was told to try again in a few hours. It will be a full 24 hours that it's been down in just a few more hours. Nothing changed on my system, all other internet access is ok and none of the components of Creative suite will activate, not just InDesign (which is what I really need right now!)

    What is the version of the InDesign you are on and on what OS ?
    Adobe disabled the activation server for CS2 products and Acrobat 7, however there is a solution

  • Activation Server Unavailable when activating Adobe RoboHelp 6

    I am getting an Activation Server Unavailable message when activating Adobe RoboHelp 6 on Windows 7. Phone activation no longer works. Anyone encountered this issue before? Thanks!

    I had to contact Adobe Support twice via chat. The first representative told me to go on here. The second one gave me an RH6 installer and a serial number different from the one I had. Now able to run RH6 without the prompt to activate.

  • Activation Server Unavailable - trying to deactivate CS2

    When trying to deactivate CS2 from an old PC (intending to activate on new PC), this message appears: "Activate Server Unavailable". Is there another way to deactivate the software on the old machine?

    you cannot deactivate and you cannot re-activate.  the servers are shuttered.
    you can however install a version of cs2 that does not require activation, Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
