Just out of curiosity...was it loaded with iOS 7 before you restored it?

If not, it's very possible that Apple's network is just having an issue...trying it again later may help you complete the restore.

Thanks guys. It got activated. On like the 100th try, 5th restore, 20th restart after like 30 hours!
I guess the apple servers were overloaded at the time or something.

Since the problem is persisting, I’d suggest contacting Apple. Or your wireless carrier. My money's on Apple.
