the phone was connected to ituen on my pc till itunes froze and stopped responding, so im downloading itunes 10.5.2 on my moms laptop and going to try and connect it to this and try the restore again, but when i was doing the restore the first time i had my sim card in the phone, it was taking a while so i left it work away and when i came back to my computer nothing showed in the progress bar and in the main screen where youd see all about your iphone and do updates and restore the phone is now a white screen with just iphone in the middle of it,
tried rebooting the phone with the sim card in it and it still starts up the same showing the usb connection and the blue itunes symbol. starting to annoy me now as only got the phone yesterday

Cannot activate my iphone 3gs after restoring it to ios

cannot activate my iphone 3gs after restoring it to ios

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

My iPhone 3gs after restoration is not being activated ... can you help?

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?

Why not? Please provide more information. Your question is akin to saying: "My car won't start."

Iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..

iphone 3gs after restore cant activated.. phone is unlock..

Hello skyway9992,
It sounds like you cannot activate your iPhone 3GS after restoring it. I found an article that has steps for troubleshooting an activation issue on an iPhone.
iPhone: Troubleshooting activation issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3424
I have included the steps from that article here:
Restart the iPhone.
Try another means of reaching the activation server and attempt to activate.
Try connecting to Wi-Fi 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.
Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

HT1766 Hi, i have iphone 4 after restoring again one msg is popping up restore needed

Hi, i have iphone 4 after restoring again one msg is popping up restore needed. can anyone tell me how to fix it
and on top left side it is showing as no servide instead of network name

Need to Resume download to complete the ongoing Process.
Last Resort, put the iPhone in DFU mode (Google How to do that). Connect in iTunes. Follow on-screen prompts to Restore. All Data would be lost, if not backed up earlier.
To save the photographs you may have to use third party software. Google is your friend.

I want to ask that if some one restore iphone and the icloud is activited before it was last so the can activate the iphone and after restore can we track it

No.
If the iPhone is running iOS 7, activation lock included with iOS 7 will prevent someone from restoring the iPhone or completing the process.
If the iPhone can be restored, it cannot be restored from the iPhone's backup - only as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

Can't activate iPhone 4S after restoring it while over seas

I am on a 2 month work trip overseas and recently had to "restore" my phone to clear up some software problems. After restoring, the phone will not activate. I am currently in Germany and I get a "No Service" message where I would normally get "bars" and the name of the service provider.
I am a Verizon customer and NOT trying to use another provider's sim or anything like that. I am actually able to receive calls if someone calls my regular US number but I am unable to make calls at all.
When I reboot the phone i get the message "Waiting for activation - This may take some time." I can dismiss this message and use other functions of the phone (attach to wifi, etc) but if I leave it alone i never activates.
I have both Voice Roaming and Data Roaming turned on in Settings
Anyone know how to activate what is basically a "new" Verizon iPhone outside of the US?

Hi PatGaspode,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
In this situation I would recommend a specific kind of restore called recovery mode. Please use the attached article for instructions on how to put your iPhone in recovery mode and restore it.

IPhone freeze after restore

I restore the iphone 2 days ago, and the itune try to download the 1.02 iphone firmware for restore, but it kept download ... showing like 110mb/97mb. ( suppose it will stop at 97mb, 100%).
So i turn to use another computer which had the firmware downloaded before, and after the restore of iphone, the iphone screen was freeze, i only can see the Earth, Slide for emergency....but i cannot slide the bar, and i cannot do anythings.
Anyone have this experience ? i try to restore a few times, but still freeze.

Try resetting the iphone. Press and hold the "off" button on top and the menu button on the front at the same time. Then turn the phone back on again using only the top button as usual. That may unfreeze it.

Not able to activate iphone 3GS after restoring

Hi,
I got one iphone 3GS which i got unlocked by AT&T.
After unlocked from AT&T i have been asked to restore the iphone. after restoring i am not able to activate it.
I am currently in india and using one Indian SIM card to activate it.
Itunes is giving one message - There is no SIM card inserted in iphone.
Do i need to use any AT&T SIM card only yo activate iphone?

Ya, this iphone was working prior to unlocking with indian SIM Card. I tried 2-3 different SIM Card.
Someone told me that i need to use only AT&T SIM card to activate my iphone 3GS.

Hi KiltedTim
I apologize for hijacking this thread.
Is there an article or guide on how to recognize a hacked/jailbroken phone from it's behaviours such as this issue? I'd like to understand better which symptoms point to a "jailbroken" diagnosis?
Cheers

Can I recover pictures to my iPhone 4 after restoring to factory settings?

Can I recover my pictures to my Iphone after restoring to factory settings on of via iTunes ?

Possibly... contact the photo center and ask them if they offer such a feature or app.
This is not an iPhone, iOS, or Apple issue.
