Errors when activating the iPhone 5S are not so uncommon and can happen for several reasons at once: both through the fault of the user and the fault of the manufacturer, regardless of whether the device's warranty period has expired or not. Despite the fact that this phenomenon is not very pleasant, this is not at all a reason to buy a new gadget. Workers of any service center will be able to deal with this problem rather quickly.
But, before taking the phone to a service center, it is worth trying, through several manipulations, to fix the problem yourself.
Instructions
Step 1
Try restarting your iPhone. Perhaps the errors that appear on the screen of your phone are the result of incorrect installation of an application or simply a "glitch" of the operating system. Restarting the gadget can fix this problem.
Step 2
The problem may be due to network errors that prevent successful activation of your device. If activation is not performed via a cellular data network, connect your device to any of the working Wi-Fi networks that have access to the Internet. If the phone has not agreed to activate either via Wi-fi or via a cellular data connection, connect to iTunes.
Step 3
Perform a system restore. This procedure will roll back the phone to factory settings, deleting all existing data on the phone, thereby possibly causing the activation error. It is worth remembering that before carrying out this procedure, it is recommended to save all important data stored in the phone's memory on another device, because after the system restore is completed, they will be permanently deleted.
Step 4
If an error occurred during the iPhone 5S recovery process, and none of the above methods brought the expected result, all that remains is to go to the service center, where specialists will apply other, more effective methods to return your phone to normal operation.
