iPhone could not be activated

I keep Getting the message The iPhone “iPhone'“ could not be activated because the activation information could not be obtain from the device. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the sim card is inserted correctly and, if you use a sim pin , tap unlock to enter it and the reconnect iPhone. Which I have replaced my sim card with a brand new one after trying to restore and update many of times. I Also can not get past the set up screen. The message I keep receiving is saying Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server cannot be reached. Try Connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again over the cellular connection in a couple of minutes. you can also try activate using a Wi-Fi connection.. When talking to apple support they told me that it was a software issue that it would cost me around $500 because they have to replace the back of my phone because of a crack, even with having apple care. Does any one know a solution to fixing the problem with out me send my phone to apple.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

I have the same issue after changing the frame.

was working perfectly fine, all function tested. after reset, this problem pop up.

I hate to say this but this issue is caused by a loose connection on one or more pins that connect the two sandwiched layered boards together.

To get that fix it will require someone with a lot of micro-soldering experience to fix the broken connections. It's a common fault on the iPhone X due to its board design.

Any kind of dropping or flexing of the phone will cause this problem.

So ist solved thus Problem with a Heat gun and some force.

You dont need to dissamble anything, Just Put some protectiv to the battery area and Heat Up the area where the Logic Board sits.

After u Put Major Heat in the device IT will warn u cuz the tempreture ist to high After the Warning try to activate your iPhone and Hit it with something.

The Heat will make the solderings Liquid and they geht "Re soldered".

This helped me, i hope IT will fix Ur problems too.

But be patient with Ur device and dont forget that u can do More damage If u Heat IT to much or use to much force.

Anyways If u dont have to lose something or Ur warranty ist already gone u can try IT.
