iPad2 Activation Error 9.3.5 FIXED!!!

Hi All,


After being severely frustrated for hours now trying to find a solution to this problem I just felt the need to post my solution to this Problem.


I decided to Factory Reset my iPad 2 after having it lag severely, hoping that this would fix the issue. But once I did, I couldn't activate it anymore.


I tried EVERYTHING there is on the Internet:


  1. Apple support
  2. To force update and/or force restore with 9.3.5
  3. Tried on Windows and Mac, both has latest iTunes version.
  4. Tried with 3G activated sim

AND MUCH MORE....


HERE WAS THE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM:

I created a Hotspot with my iPhone using the cellular Network (not the Wifi). I then connected to my phones Hotspot and BAM, I was FINALLY able to activate my iPad.


Sometimes you drive me up the wall Apple. This does not have to be so complicated.


I hope this saves some poor soul the Headache and trouble of finding a solution.


Cheers,


One frustrated Apple User
