IPhone 4 in boot loop on activation screen after restore and update.

I recently restored my iPhone because it was playing up but after the restore, it's stuck in a boot loop. The phone boots, comes onto the 'Slide to Activate' screen but if i wait 10 seconds or slide it, it boots again.
Any help would be appriciated.

Buzz! Thank you for playing!
Enjoy your iBrick.
Now you know why Apple recommends against making unauthorized modifications to the phone.

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • IPhone 4s 8gb stuck on activation screen after 6.01 update

    As stated above, I updated my iPhone 4s 8gb through iTunes to 6.01, the update failed, and had me restore the iphone. So I did, now it's on the activation screen. It says I have no service (Verizon, SIM card is in). I try to activate through WiFi it gives me the error saying the activation server is unavialble. If I go to activate through iTunes it says my request could not be proccessed at this time, try again later. I've been trying for three days. I've called apple support and all they could tell me is to take it to an apple store ( hour and a half drive ). I bought the iPhone brand new in March, it has not been unlocked or jailbroken. Any ideas?

    If you can turn of the iPhone, I was going to suggest turning on the iPhone by holding down the on/off button and the home button at the same time in order to reset the iPhone, and then retry installing thru iTunes.  One other thing is to make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed; I think we're up to version 7.

  • Iphone 5s stuck at activation screen after restoring to factory setting

    I had deleted my Apple ID and created one same Apple ID again. After i restored my iphone to factory setting, it stuck at the activation screen, even if i filled in the correct Apple ID and password, it shows "cannot use this Apple ID to unock this phone'. Seek for help.

    You need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPhone.
    This is a new security feature in iOS7 called Activation Lock. There is no
    workaround.
    Without the AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPhone, it will be useless
    to you and everyone else.
    If it is only the passcode that you forgot, try here:
    how to reset password:

  • IPhone 4: My IPhone keeps in the "plug-into-iTunes-screen" after trying to update to iOS 5.0. The phone is not showing up as a device in iTunes anymore.

    My IPhone doesn't turn on and keeps in the "plug-into-Tunes-screen" after update to new IOs 5.0 yesterday. I also tried to restore it, but it still keeps in the plugin mode. In ITunes the IPhone doesn't show up as a device anymore, but Windows 7 detects it as a camera. I started the problem diagnose via ITunes and it says "iPhone can't be found".I'm using the new version of iTunes.
    Can anyone help me?

    I have the exact same problem and have just logged on here to see if anyone can help also?  My iphone is up and working but itunes won't recognise it as a device... just updated itunes aswell.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!!

  • IPhone 4s won't activate after restore and update

    After trying to update my iPhone 4s to iOS7 and it crashing halfway through I had to restore the phone. Now the phone seems to have iOS 7 but while trying to set it up it comes up with 'Could Not Activate iPhone'. It's something to do with the activation sever not being able to be reached. I have no idea what any of this means and every other discussion confuses me so if someone could explain how on earth I get my bloody phone back in simple language that would be marvellous

    I have the same problem.  Have you figured it out?

  • Iphone 5 going crazy even after restored and updated

    I have an iphone 5 siri kept coming on and my apps kept closing and it kept taking screen shots i restored it and updated it and it is still doing the exact same stuff. I do not want to pay for a new phone. please help.

    Since buying a 3rd party charger cord (not the brick) just the FireWire cord, my phone has been acting possessed or hacked. I have watched it open my personal notes on my phone, add notes, random words & things to my sentences, using proper capitalization, then copying & pasting large chunks of my personal notes , then goes back to home screen, shows some 2-finger-gestures, copying/pasting, launching my email, then pasting in fragments of my notes into an email, then quickly sending it somewhere before I can see all that is happening. The moves are so fast. This ghost or 3rd party hacker that came for free from my Chinese made FireWire cord has been super annoying. Today it changed all my settings, & closed out over 30 web pages I had saved in Safari. This thing does what it wants, messes with your settings, browses around your phone, copies & emails your stuff, then deletes the sent folder trail. I have video of it that I may try to upload tomorrow. It put my phone on airplane mode last night so I missed calls & communications this morning. As I watch it, it doesn't seem like a script of behaviors being executed, seems slower with more random decisions being made, and even efforts to cover it's tracks. Very very very very strange. More of us need to come fwd so that this problem gets dealt with.

  • Activation issues after restore and OS upgrade

    IPAD was disabled. Only option I had was restore. After restore, it offered to upgrade the OS which I accepted. Now, Activating IPAD requires my apple id which is ******@icloud.com. I don't even remember creating any account on icloud.com. I have tried to retrieve it unsuccessfully from Forgot Apple ID link. Any suggestions? workarounds? Many Thanks in advance.

    You will not be able to re-activate your iPad if you do not remember the old Apple ID and Password.
    This is the new security feature of IOS 7.

  • HT4972 my iphone is stuck at the activation screen after i've updated it, what do i need to do to get it to activate?

    Hi guys need help activating my phine it keeps telling me to try again as it could not contact server.

    That message usually indicates that your phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.
    Then when you updated the phone it locked back up to the original carrier.
    Only the carrier that the phone is locked to can unlock it.

  • IPhone 5 stuck on connect to iTunes screen after attempted iOS7 update

    Updated iTunes to 11.1 with no problem. Plugged my phone in to update to iOS7 and now its displaying the USB thing with an arrow up to the iTunes symbol yet won't connect to iTunes when I plug it in.... any ideas????

    Hey corubathedog,
    It sounds like your iPhone was kicked into recovery mode, which I understand can be very frustrating. However, the following article will help to resolve this issue:
