Check your Wi-Fi

For the full activation of the new iPhone X, a strong Wi-Fi or internet connection is a must. A weak Wi-Fi or being unable to connect to the server can cause the activation to fail. So make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi connection before you start the activation process. The first thing to do to fix iPhone X not activating problem is fixing your Wi-Fi network.

Wait

You may need to wait for sometimes before you activate your iPhone. This is to be done when it is unable to connect to server due to traffic issues. At times the server might be unable to connect even with a strong internet connection due to heavy traffic. If this is the case there is no other solution but to wait.

Reset in recovery mode

If none of the above helped the next thing you can do is resetting the device. As the device is not activated yet reset can only be done in recovery mode. You will need the help of a PC with iTunes installed to do this reset. The steps to reset your iPhone X in recovery mode are:

  1. Launch iTunes on your PC
  2. Press and hold home button and power button until iPhone X switches off
  3. Now leave only the power button and keep holding home button
  4. Now plug in the device to PC
  5. Now the PC will detect your device in recovery mode
  6. Select ‘reset’ option and confirm

If even resetting the device doesn’t solve your issue it is recommended to contact with the near apple care.
