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

if your having activation problems, this should work 100%. take out sim card, hold down home button plus power button also, apple logo should appear, 2-3 seconds after logo release power button, keep home button held until plug into itune appear. open itune and plug it up. now you can update/restore. after this your iphone need to complete the update/restore. when completed install your sim card and wait a few to be activated.

Hey guys!

I live in Germany and I also have this problem. I have already been at an apple store. They told me the phone is "jailbraked" and apple simulates an hardware error so you cant connect your phone to ITunes anymore.

Sorry for my bad english 🙂
