Unable To Activate iPhone 7

Have you tried a hard shut down or hard restart?

hold power button down for 10s and slide to shut down / or hold both power and home buttons down together for 10 seconds until you see Apple logo?

Alternately try a new SIM card. Those are the most common fixes. And super easy.

I tried everything and also an Apple care support tech was helping me via

phone call and they just realized that it is a hardware issue. They just

received the device in one of their Apple certified repair store.

Hey man, i had this problem too.

I found the solution. U should unscrew bottom srews open iphone and put a pressure to sim card tray to make it connect better with motherboard. After this go to recovery mode and restore the iphone. It worked for me!

Please try, here is also video How To Fix NO SERVICE/SEARCHING on iPphone 6/6+/6s/6s+ - YouTube

The problem with iPhone 7 and 7 Plus is baseband pm ic it’s hatdware issue it’s due to a drop or bent and you have a loose or cracked ball under the pm ic it’s common issue with the 6,6plus,7,7plus the only difference the iPhone 6, 6plus is that it’s the baseband ic it have a broken pad line so your phone can not read your imei and it won’t activate with iOS 11 and up that if you lucky enough to restore update it without errors

Some of the iPhone 7 have a defect on the QUALCOMM p.m. ic if you don’t have any Physical damage to the phone you could just call apple support and ask about the boot loop defect on iPhone 7 and see if yours is qualified and make sure it hasn’t been repair by third party shop because they will reject the repair so given them your serial number or imei to verify if your device listed Or illegible they will replace it for free otherwise Apple only replace the whole phone that mean you have to pay around $300 they will replace your device other wise it could be fix by reheating the p.m I.c. Or replacing the chip

*SOLVED*
whether it was because I used another carriers sim when doing this, i dont know and dont want to try but

1 I removed my sim

2. entered restore mode

3. updated and factory reset my phone without a sim the whole time

4. no more error

hope this helps!

p.s DOESNT WORK BY IPHONE RESTORE HAS TO GO THROUGH A PC!

*SOLVED*

i had this same problem with my iphone 7 so what i did was i turn the iphone off and as it was turning on i smacked it on my knee. i know this sounds weird but trust me it works!!! when it turned on and it said searching instead of no service in top left corner. after i put in my wifi information it successfully activated. TRY IT TO SEE IF IT WORKS !!

I have the same issue and tried everything even went to iPhone stores in Mumbai and they say that it is not n issue with apple and trying to put the blame on me saying you must have done something wrong and after buying an iPhone which is the worlds best company am getting a service like this is most shameful.

I too am struggling with this same problem. Also only option is to shutdown when phone is switched on. I have the same No Service and no connection to the GSM Network. I know there were a number of iPhones that had been recalled mine is A1778. Not sure if this was on the list of recalls and not sure where to find the correct information.

I have the same problem, I thought that was an ios version problem then I updated and went worse now I connot activate it or access to my iphone, but I found this and I hope you can solve the problem.

Hey guys I own a repair and had a customer bring me a iPhone 7 A1660. Needless to say it had the same problems yall are experiencing and I got it to work took a little bit to get it done but it works.

I updated my iphone 7 to the latest ISO a few weeks ago "try too" and since then now I can't get it to activate. When I try with Wi-Fi it says "Unable to Activate" "An update is required to activate your iPhone". When I

try to do it with iTunes it says "The iPhone could not be activated

because the activation information could not be obtained from the

device". I have taken the SIM card out and put it back in, and it is

in correctly.

I had this problem with Sprint iPhone 7 as well. Sprint cell services would not update/activate until iPhone updated with iOS update. iPhone wouldn't verify iOS update stating phone was not connected to the internet. I confirmed the iPhone was connected to internet via wifi, but iPhone still would not verify update. I could not get the phone to update through computer/iTunes either. iPhone locked up to the point I had to factory reset. Finally resolved the issue by powering down the iPhone 7, removed sim card, powered up, manual iPhone set up with no iTunes account only wifi, applied iOS update, insert sim card and reboot.

i had the same problem with my iphone 8 , with the new ios update to 12.3 it got resolved , u will have to be patient and keep trying . My iphone is on and was able to make 3 calls but again got the no signal sign ...

Hi, did you managed to solve this issue? I am having this problem too. It happened to my Iphone 7 yesterday. Thanks.
