HT4623 can not activate iphone 3

tried to update the software but could not activate it

What happens when you try?
Was the phone ever jailbroken or "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?

  • HT4623 Can not activate iPhone 3GS after upgrade to 6.1

    I was happily using my iPhone 3GS v4.1 till my son upgraded to IOS 6.1. Now it shows "could not activate iPhone". Please help

    Was the phone hacked or jailbroken to use it with a different carrier than the one it was locked to? If it was then it is again locked to that carrier, and there is nothing you can do about it that can be discussed in an Apple hosted forum.

    I carphonewarehouse in the UK to buy an iPhone4s, I went back to Ireland not sim card, then can not activate iphone how to do?

    Carphone warehouse does not sell unlocked phones. The phones they sell will only activate with a UK carrier and will lock to the UK carrier used to activate it. You can not use that phone on an Irish network. Return it and buy an unlocked phone directly from Apple or one intended for use on the network you intend to us in Ireland.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot enter the previous Apple ID and password you will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • HT4972 I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. why?

    I installed ios 5.1.1 and I can not activate iphone. I'm appreciating the signal "no service". I do not read the card. what can I do about it?

    Was it hacked, jailbroken, or "unlocked" by someone other than the carrier it was originally locked to?
    This is symptomatic of a hacked phone that has been updated or restored. If that's the case, it is now a brick.

    Its a serious problem and many people are facing the same issue on both locked and factory unlocked phones.
    I wonder when Apple will address to this issue. After all it is losing all its reputation!
    See this thread, many users are encountering the same issue:

    I believe its a software issue and could be solved asap Apple fixes it!

    vechr good guys please tell me I can not activate iphone 3gs unlock after the official sees no sim card

    Disable your antivirus and firewall.
    If that doesn't fix it either the phone was jailbroken or hacked, or the computer you are using was used to hack or jailbreak some other iDevice.

    Did you recently update your version of iOS?
    Did you recently restore your iPhone?
    What is the exact wording of any error message received?
    Is your iPhone jailbroken or hacked?
    Are using the latest version of Cydia?

  • I CAN NOT ACTIVATE IPHONE ORIGINAL?

    I CAN NOT ACTIVATE MY IPHONE ORIGINAL?

    I'm having the same problem and absolutely NO ONE seems willing or able to help. The worst part is, I'm in Mexico now and don't have a second phone line from which to call Apple or AT&T. I basically have a $400 per month iBrick.
    My original iPhone was working fine until a few days ago, but then stopped connecting to the local phone towers. I thought maybe the software had been corrupted, so I did a quick restore, which went fine. But then, when I connect to iTunes, it gets stuck on the "Activating Device" page. I've tried at least 100 times, and it never gets past "Activating Device."
    It seems like an AT&T problem, but they keep telling me to call Apple, and I don't have a second phone line. Awesome service, all around.
    Anyone have a clue about this? I suspect Apple and/or AT&T did something to stop supporting the original iPhone but without publicizing it. Activation used to be a 5-second process, but I'm on Day 3 with no activation.

  • HT201407 can not activate iphone 4

    My phone was working fine then went black and said could not be activated. I have done a full restore and still comes up unable to activate. Help would be appreciated

    Yep, looked down just now and my phone is stuck on the Cound Not Activate iPhone screen. What gives? It was working fine an hour ago and I haven't touched it since then. I'm in Kansas City on AT&T if it's in any way germain to the situation...
    Edit: duh beta expired, thanks
