I'd like to revive my iPhone and update to the latest version of iOS

I'd like to revive my iPhone and update to the latest version of iOS.


The iPhone iOS update has failed and i initialized it.

In the settings after initialization, an activation error occurred on the screen after selecting the wi-fi to use, and it stopped proceeding.

Currently, the iPhone is unavailable because the settings after initialization has not be completed.

When I connect the iPhone to my macOS Catalina and try to open it, I get an activation error as well.


I'd like to contact official support, but the support page is not displayed for some reason.


I want to revive the iPhone (complete the settings after initialization) and update to the latest iOS.

It doesn't matter just reviving the iPhone, so I would like you to tell me how to resolve it.


Thank you very much.

Finally resolved!


I installed the official app 'Apple Support' on my iPad and I succeeded to contact the official support.

Still I don't understand why I cannot use 'Get Support' on my safari browser, anyway.

My iPhone turned recovery mode with my Mac, and my iPhone revived and the latest iOS is finally installed.


Thank you very much for your kind replies, deggie!!! :)

Although the language of the original sentense is Japanese:


アクティベーションエラー


アクティベーションを完了できませんでした。

iPhoneを復元して最新バージョンのiOSをインストールしてからもう一度アクティベーションを実行してみてください。

問題がそれでも解決しない場合はカスタマーサポートにお問い合わせください。


In English it means:


Activation error


The activation could not be completed.

Please restore your iPhone, install the latest version of iOS, and then try activating again.

If the problem still persists, please contact customer support.

It says me to install the latest version, but the setting must be completed to install it.

How can I do?
