Hey all,

I’ve got an iPhone 8 that I wiped (and removed iCloud from) when I upgraded to my 13.

I’ve gone to check the 8 and when I power it on, I have a “this phone is locked to email and they can see the location of this iPhone”.

The email it’s locked to is mine although it’s no longer showing on my iCloud account? I go through set up and get to wifi network which I select and then I get an error about it not being able to activate as it has to update.

I connect to iTunes and iTunes won’t pick up on it either. Says it can’t activate due to it not being able to reach activation server.

Any advice please? Thanks a lot

On the set up screen, bottom right info icon - do you see the IMEI number?
