after updating to 14.2 I lost mobile service .Itried reseting my iphone to restore it after then it got locked . I’m getting an error message “Activation Failed” The iPhone cannot be synced. The operation timed out. after resetting my iphone through my MacBook
please help !
iPhone X, iOS 14
If you are the owner of the iPhone or the owner has shared all information with you then to open Activation Lock:- If it is Activation locked, read here --> Turn off Activation Lock - Apple Support Activation Lock for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Learn how to remove a device from a previous owner's account.
If you are not the owner of the iPhone and do not have the Apple ID and Password then there is no way that you can get into this iPhone unless the original owner shares the Apple ID and password to you. If you are lucky you can get into this iPhone if they (owner) accidentally remove the device from their apple ID.
hey , thank you for quick response
it is actually my device . so as I understand , if I remove the this iphone from the icloud it will not need activation ?
although I still have the problem with mobile service and it is still searching for a signal (after IOS14.2)
to be honest I do not know what to expect after unlocking the phone , I am assuming that I will just rest everything again through the iphone to restore the orginal software
yeah i got the same prob did you ever fix it?
I didn’t unfortunately.
I went to an iphone repair shop, he fixed it for me but I have lost all my data
+ If I try to activate it from the iphone while connected to wifi I receive a message saying : unable to activate , an update is required to activate your iphone
IOS 14.2 locked my I phone x , can't activate !
