    The typical cause is that the device has been hacked or jailbroken.

    I upgraded my 3gs to the iOS5 software, but it keeps telling me on my iphone and my itunes that it cannot activate my iphone! Then my iTunes said there is no SIM card installed. HELP! I can't seem to even restore, which is what I was told to do by the Apple Store.

    Hi there,
    if your phone has ever been replaced by Apple (within or outside of warranty), have Apple check their records to which carrier your iPhone (its IMEI number) is currently locked to.
    If it is locked to any other than the carrier you have your SIM-card from, ask the folks at Apple to have your phone's lock adjusted to your carrier. Once that is done, there is a good chance that your phone will work again.
    Hope this helps,
    Chris

    cannot activate my iphone 3gs after restoring ios 6.1.3 it was factory unlocked mobile but it not activating i tried so many times to activate but it not activating

    That's because it was not legitimately unlocked. It was hacked.
    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Contact them.

    He have changed some hardware so that the serial changed
    I don't know how .. But I notice that when I check the iPhone box which I have
    The serial is not the same and then I found that the serial which I wrote is for locked iPhone for France orange
    I'll see what to do tomorrow
    Thanx all for your help
    Bad guys are always making problems
    Sorry for u all

  • HT201365 I cannot activate my iPhone 4 since my apple ID got deleted

    I cannot activate my iPhone 4 since my apple ID got deleted. I recreate the apple ID with the same Email address but it still didn't work. Please help. 

    Hey mundu104,
    Thanks for the question. Is there a possibility that your iPhone was activated with a different Apple ID? Remember that Activation Lock utilizes the iCloud account. If you continue to have issues, see these articles:

    Activation issues are almost always a result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.

  • HT201407 i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed

    Hi, i cannot activate my iphone 3Gs i tried many times using wifi and connect. to itunes but activtion is always failed. can you help me to fix this problem?

    Do you have a SIM in the phone?
    A SIM is required to activate it.
    If you DO have a SIM in it, the most common cause of this problem is a phone that was hacked to illegally unlock it and has been updated or restored.
