That message usually indicates that the phone was either hacked/modified or jailbroken?
Was this phone ever locked to a different phone carrier?

When trying to activate my iPad 3, I consistently get a message that the activation server is unavailable, Please Try Again. Does anyone know how to help me?
It is not bricked... I think I finally found the way: http://www.imore.com/how-fix-activation-errors-iphone-after-installation-ios-7-b eta.
The above artical started to help.. but eventually I did the following:
1) put device into DFU mode
http://www.imore.com/tip-put-iphone-ipad-dfu-mode
2) when connecting ipad to itunes, itunes was aware of DFU mode. Just selected the update and itunes downloaded the correct new OS (iOS 7.0.2) and did it's thing.
Note: there was no need to download an older version of iOS. In fact, I was always rejected when attempting a downloaded ipsw. iTunes always said, "This device isn't eligible for the requested build".
Device Info: iPad 3 wifi. Software was iOS beta 7 (7 release 5 I think). -

how to configure my 3gs iphone? it says your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable......
i live in iran. this 3gs was a gift from america .. it contains NOTHING. i can do nothing with it. it cannot be updated cuz the version is low. i dunno what t do please help.Possible causes:
1. Your antivirus is blocking access to gs.apple.com.
2. Your phone is jailbroken.
3. Your computer has been used at some time in the past to jaibreak some iOS device (not necessarily the phone with the problem), and its network database was corrupted by the hacking software that was used.
4. Apple's activation servers are down (very rare, and never for more than an hour or so).
5. The phone was reported stolen. If it was it can never be activated again.
For 1. try disabling your antivirus.
For 2. & 3. you need to go somewhere other than an apple forum for help. Although you can try deleting lines containing gs.apple.com from your "hosts" file on your computer. -
I am trying to update my Iphone 3 and when i get to the activation step after a few minutes it shows a message that says " Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. Try conenecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.
If the problem persist, contact apple support at apple.com/support
I been trying for a few times now and I keep getting the same message. How can i fix it? now my phone doesnt work.These are the steps mentioned in the article iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
Perform the following steps if you receive one of the messages above:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you're unable to activate using a cellular data connection.
Try connecting to iTunes if you're unable to activate using Wi-Fi.
Restore the iPhone.
If you receive an alert message when you attempt to activate your iPhone, try to place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you're still unable to complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance. -

iPhone could not be activated because activation server is temporarily unavailable. this is now the third day and nothing improves please help. iTunes says my sim is locked but I can't unlock it
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
Unauthorized modification of iOS

I am trying to restore my phone, however it says that the iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable. I have tried again a few times but still the same. Any suggestions?
Was your phone ever locked to a different phone carrier than the one your on now?
If so how was your phone unlocked?
Very rarely is the server unavailable.
Is your phone jailbroken or was your computer used to jailbreak a device? -
my iphone coudnt be activated because it say's that the activation server is temporarily unavailable???how can i resolve this??
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, because it appears that it was not officially unlocked. -

i'm updating my iphone 3gs but i get to the activation point and it tells me the activation server is temporarily unavailable and i keep trying .i'm worried to loose some of the memo? please advice
That's almost always because the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

this is the message i am getting:
Your iPhone could not be activated because the Activation Server is temporarily unavailable. Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a few minutes. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support
nothing i can do to it
looked on forums, can't get to anything (flight mode, etc, etc)This usually happens if the phone has been Hacked / Jailbroken / Modified...
If this is the case... Then...
Sorry... But...

2 errors: "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable" and the sim says "searching" while iTunes says there is "No Sim installed" - but of course, there is! Any help please??
Hi Peter,
Thank you for the note - I have seen similar replies on other posting errors and I see how that could make sense. The thing is, my iPhone is not jailbroken - it is from an authorized distributor. However, when I told them about the "no service" problem on the sim, they were unable to assist. Then my phone messaged that an itunes restore was required - so I did that, several times, to the error message now noted on my post. I wonder if there is some other way to over-write this message? Thanks very much.
