Help/Support iOS9 "Hactivation"

dndz0r · November 16, 2015

I got my iPhone6 running on the last iOS9 version but im stuck at the "SIM required" activation. The phone was originally locked for a carrier and i got it unlocked, but after a RESET it keep asking me for a main carrier SIM card, is there a way to bypass this?

Thanks in advance.

There is no way to bypass this without entering the required SIM.

I'm in the same boat, tried the "call 121 emergency call method" but it didn't work on an iPhone 5s that I reset to factory. Want to sell on Craigslist but don't have original carrier SIM anymore. Might have to borrow someone's just to activate it.

Well if it is indeed your phone call the phone company and have them unlock it. Sadly, there is no bypassing it as Apple is very strict when it comes to theft protection.

Universal SIM Card? Never heard of that but give it a try.

You will need to carrier unlock your device.
