Iphone has no service after restore

I restored my iphone (1st generation) and now I have no service.  The screen only shows connect to itunes screen.  Whe I connect to itunes, itunes sees the iphone, but no tabs are available.  Summary tab is missing as are all other tabs.
How do I get the iphone activated again so I can have service?

  • My iphone has no service after i upgraded to 4.3.2

    I just upgraded my iphone from 4.0.2 to 4.3.2 and now there is no service and i have an unnofficial sim card because there is no at&ts or any official sim card here in cambodia and its just been a very dissapointing 4 weeks please help

    I am having the same problem. I have a normal iphone4 and when I upgraded to ios7, suddenly no one can hear me on calls. It works with speakerphone and on a headset, and I can play music normally. It has to be software, or else why would speakerphone work? My phone also functioned just fine before this upgrade and now my phone is useless as a phone.

    iphone 4 has no service after replacing screen and updating, phone company says sim is fine. any ideas? thanks

    We had this happen with a ipad mini, took it back to person who worked on it, after a week with trying to get it working again, he replaced it. I will agree with the other replies take it back to repair place there must be something inside the phone that if you don't do repair excalty right it messes up all phone functions. Also I would give the repair person a time frame to either get it working or replace it.

    If they were in your camera roll when you lasted backed up your phone, restoring the backup should recover them.

  • IPhone 3GS "no service" after flying cross country

    Showing up first while I on a recent trip from Dallas to Cleveland, my iPhone 3GS has since often had a "no service" message in the upper left corner of the screen so that I can't receive or make phone calls. It's also sometimes having trouble getting a connection for Words With Friends, and Messages and Voice Mail often have a big red dot on one corner instead of a red dot with a number inside, along with the message that I don't have a connection.
    A Genius told me it's not uncommon for iPhones to get confused after travelling across time zones, and he recommended that I Reset Network Settings. That didn't work, so I Reset All Settings, then, because I'd already tried restoring from a back-up, I did an Erase All Content and Settings and synced again to get all my media and such back on the phone. Nothing seems to be fixing all the problems at the same time.

    i do not really know if it was jailbroken in the past i brought this iphone from a friend and it work perfectly on ios 5.1.1 and it was not jailbroken when i first used it. the problem i do not understand is that the no service problem never occured before the update to ios 6.1.3  . is there any way to fix this problem? because i would like to continue using my iphone 3gs
      I have tried to downgrade to an older version of ios using an ipsw but still the same problem

  • HT4993 could not activate iphone....after restore.

    could not activate iphone.....after restore.

    Hello dar1000ex,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    Your iPhone may display one of the following messages when you attempt to activate it:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."
    "The SIM card inserted in this iPhone does not appear to be supported"
    "The iPhone is not recognized and cannot be activated for service."
    "iTunes was unable to verify your device."
    ResolutionPerform 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.

  • HT201407 iPhone unable to activate after restore

    Hi,
    I have just restored my old iPhone 3GS 8GB (without a sim card in it) as I was going to sell it. However after restoring it via iTunes a message appears "we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care"
    I have tried it several times but get the same message, any ideas?
    Thanks

    iPhones require a SIM for activation.
    If the device still will not activate, this is typically the result of a device that has been hacked or jailbroken.  If that is the case, no support can be provided here.

  • Iphone 4 without service after IOS 5.1

    I am without service after IOS 5.1.  Since the upgrade, my phone can't make or receive any call. I bought it from my mobile operator (Claro Brasil) itself. The odd thing is that when I use the SIM of my brother (from another provider - TIM) the phone works perfectly. Please, can someone give me any advice. I called to Claro and they said everything is fine with my network and that they will open a procedure to see what can be done. I think they don't know what is happening and I can't wait much longer.
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, I tried to restore it as new. Actually, 2 times, with and without backup. Today I will try to get a new SIM. Hopefully, that will solve my problem, but I am a bit skeptical as my SIM was working ok before the update.
    Thank you very much for your help.

  • IPhone won't activate after restore

    Can't activate my iPhone 4S after restoring it to factory settings on iOS 6. It's been 12 hours now. I tried restoring it several times through iTunes and so far no luck. Feel very frustrated. What do I do?
    This is the message that gets displayed when I try to activate the phone:
    "Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable."

    I had the same issue, and just took took it to the Apple Store.  They had the same problem and ended up replacing my phone.
