Activation problem after restoring to 7.0.6. help

I have the exact same problem, I updated my IPAD 2 64 3G and I got the same msg.

My IPAD was working fine before the update.

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same problem. 😟

same issue with me exactly - spoke to apple rep who was awesome. Sent ipad logs to an engineer - they found a server error and corrected it - said it should ahve fixed this issue but no luck

I asked them to check again: "They took a look again and said the device was listed as none rather than unlocked, that was the only error. They are recommending restoring with a different computer because they cannot see anything else."

tried this and no luck

tried with sim, without sim, wifi only

can't wait until a real resolution is found....

This "Replacement Needed" message seems to have cropped up lately. No one on the forum has provided a good answer to the problem. My suggestion is to contact Apple and beers intent. Something new may have popped up and it needs correcting.

😢😢

please help .

Replacment needed....

Hi! What exactly did you do? Did you connect to itunes?

Have you taken your device into the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Service Provider?

OK I hve just had my iPad2 restored and backed up to perfect after a couple weeks of this mess.

Major thanks to Rose in Apple Support 2nd tier senior superstar for sticking with this issue to resolve

It worked for me today after doing this 10-15 times previous - I beleive some server settings were adjusted and ow we are good to go!

to fix:

1. delete the ipsw file from ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates

2. put the device into recovery mode by powering it off with the plug in the device, hold the home button while plugging into the computer.

3. unplug the device while the download is coming down unless its less than 5 min.

4. put the device in recovery mode again

5. restore the device

Hi can you please explain step number 3? I really hope this will fix the problem on my ipad. I'm glad it worked on yours. I'm crossing my fingers!!

you will see the file downloading in iTunes...it will say 8 min remaining...unplug device from your computer and wait until its finished and then move to the next step

Fingers crossed for you!

I tried 3 times and it didn't work. 😟 Will try again.

same with me.... any news or advice? 😟

still the same problem..
