Hello. So I was running a jailbroken 4s with evasion 6.1 I think (the very first one for ios6). I dont think i updated to a higher version. The only updates made after the initial jailbreak were only within Cydia. I never attempted to "unlock" the phone. I mainly used it for cosmetic reasons and a few tweaks here and there. I
So after about a month or so with it being jailbroken, I decide that im not that much of a power user to keep it jailbroken and decide I want to go back to normal. I used this "tutorial" to restore: How to remove Evasi0n Jailbreak from your iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch?
Everything went well. I upgraded to the latest iOS within iTunes (I was using the latest version 11.0.2.26) . BUT...
Once the restore was complete, I am unable to activate the phone. It does not work on wifi or cellular connection.
Ive done a fair share of research for this and have not seen a definite solution. Ive read on the apple forums that since the device was jailbroken, it cannot be activated and is "beyond repair". I know its against the rules to discuss jailbreaking on that forum, but i dont see how the device is beyond repair when it starts up perfectly fine.
To be clear, I want to get passed this step and back to a normal phone. I DO NOT want to unlock or jailbreak.
The only details I can tell you about the phone is that it is a 4s that has only been on Verizon, and is a little bit over a year old. As far as a SIM card goes, its whatever came with the phone. It has never been messed with. It was bought directly from apple.com
As of now, I havent called my carrier (Verizon). I have done a DFU restore twice, and tried activating on a different computer. I have also searched my "hosts" file to see if gs.apple.com was blocked, and there was nothing in there for that.
Thanks for any help.
