Error 0xE8000004 when trying activate iPhone 4 (GSM)

Hi there.

Two days ago I restore my iPhone 4 GSM from iTunes and when trying to activate it, I get the message Error 0xE80000004. I can not activate my iPhone 4 using wifi connection because asks me directly connect to iTunes and after displaying the error is not active and does not let me do anything.
I have restored my iPhone 4 from several PCs and always I get the same error when trying to activate it.
Can anyone help me please?

For several days some iPhone 4 users in Spain are having this error when trying to activate or restore factory our iPhone 4 (iPhone 4 Only)

Regards

Sorry for my english.

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1.2

I have 2 iPhone 4 models with the same issue. Unfortunately this issue will not be resolved, because the easiest way to sell new models is to disable the older models via software updates.

Fala Gustavo,

também estou com esse problema e não consigo de jeito nenhum. Estou tentando fazer o downgrade do iOS, mas esta complicado.

Fala colarj,

Ontem atualizei o ios para o 7.1.2 e me aparecia este erro, mas eventualmente consegui ativar (sério, não sei como. mas funcionou), só aí percebi um problema no wifi, Então, tive a infeliz idéia de restaurar novamente e a partir daí, não consegui mais. ;(
Caso consiga realizar o downgrade ou encontrar a solução, compartilhe conosco aqui no fórum. Valeu!

Hi colarj,

Yesterday updated the ios to 7.1.2 and appeared to me this error, but eventually managed to turn (seriously , do not know how . But it worked ) , only then I realized a problem in wifi, then, so I had the unfortunate idea of restoring again, so I could no longer update . ; (

If you can perform the downgrade or find the solution , please share here on the forum . Thanks !

I have the same Issue with an Iphone 4 GSM), I was updating to IOS 7.1.2 and Error appear, i patiently deal with it until Monday that i was able to finally go through the whole process and got the Iphone working, but i realize the WiFi and Bluetooth was grayed out, I attempt to restore as it is requested on several tutorials and i ended up in the same situation again. Definitively it´s a apple server issue, since i was doing it in the same computer, same cable, same USB port, same Internet connection almost 5 times per day for 2 weeks, before i get the Iphone activated.
