There May Be A Way Out: How To Activate During The iPocalypse…

imageGizmodo has just saved the day. Apparently it is still possible to activate your iPhone amidst all of the terror. The simple answer. Leave your phone plugged in. Unplugging the phone restarts the entire activation process. I am testing out their method as we speak. I will update with further details as they become available.

We’ve successfully activated five different iPhone 3Gs with error screens just by letting them sit plugged in for anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes. Hopefully that might work for you, too.

Update: Some may be confused, so I will clarify. Do Not press “OK” when the error message pops up in iTunes. Just plug your phone in and do not interact with iTunes until after the phone has been activated.

  2. Worked for me at 2:15 central.  I had to leave the room and when I came back after 20-30 minutes I didn’t notice I was activated but got a text from a friend.  Yea, I’m in.  Then I was able to restore from my old Iphone.  Worked great.  Note and vmail all restored.
