Activation Loop when SIM is inserted

good evening guys.

I got a problem to activate my iPhone 6+

(I’ve read previous thread, not helpful much)

I bought this (refurbished unit) last year.

it was on iOS 9.

I am able to activate it before without any issues.

insert the SIM, you’re good to go (no TurboSIM).

I also able to update to iOS 11.2.1 without any issues (OTA update)

but, things happen after I restore the iPhone using iTunes (clearing things up).

the iPhone can be activated without SIM.

but once SIM is inserted, I got stuck in activation loop.

I got stuck in the screen as attached below.

when I plug-in to iTunes (using the original cable),

I got Error 0×E8000015

(I’ve done the workup as stated in previous thread, no avail)

I try activating using iTunes, no avail.

the iPhone just flickering the screen (as attached above).

I have no idea what to be done next.

can someone help me with this?

I am planning to give this iPhone to my wife

Did you make sure your iTunes is up to date? Also you can try using 3UTools to activate the phone.

Have you checked that the IMEI still displays in the blue info icon on the lock screen or in settings > general > about phone also modem firmware too?

currently using iTunes 12.7

already tried using 3UTools. no avail.

in the 3UTools says everything is complete,

but still unable to activate.

(I start everything fresh, I do a restore every time I try another methods suggested)

modem firmware/baseband (as shown in 3UTools):

6.30.04

IMEI is displayed

wait, what happens if there’s no IMEI displayed?
