What to do when stuck on activate iPhone?
I have bought a phone a few days ago, and it's stuck on activate iPhone, it's not my account. I asked the owner and she says she forgot the password. The IMEI is locked by T-Mobile.
What Carrier are you trying to activate it under?
And what do you mean by password? Did the person leave their Apple ID on the phone?
Sounds like that phone needs to be restored so you can start fresh
Cheers

The phone is almost certainly stolen. Without the password, there's no way to activate the phone. Ask the thief from whom you bought it to point you to the rightful owner, or wait for the owner to find you with Find My Phone.
Nothing you could do. The original owner would have to reset her Apple ID password, then restore the phone, then enter the password when asked & then could give it back to you.
If that's too much, just get a refund.

- Stuck iPhone 4 lock button! Stuck/Stripped screws Okay so, I've had this stupid panda case on my phone and it jammed my lock button. It still works if you push super hard from the side, but no clicking sound. I saw how to fix it by opening my phone up but the screws won't come out no matter what! I tried a screwdriver alone, with duct tape, rubber band, double sided tape, everything! I don't have a warranty on my phone, and I'm looking for a super inexpensive (>$5) way to fix it, any ideas?
- My iPhone 3G is stuck on the dock reset screen/loading circle stuck? For some reason my iPhone 3G is stuck on the dock home screen, like this: and it has that tiny loading logo, like this: that is stuck in the middle. I can't reset because my power button no longer works so I only use the home button to turn it on and since it is jailbroken i slide the top bar, press power, the lock, so i have no use of my power button. The loading circle is still spinning and its been doing this for about an hour >:( Help?
