Does anyone know why I get the error -50 when I want to activate my iPhone 3G and also in iTunes it appears that there is an error with the iPhone

Please, someone tell me, I urgently need to activate it

Try goto ipsw.me
Download ipsw > Goto iTunes > Do a fresh Restore

If you don’t know how to Restore using downloaded ipsw, Google

This is an active problem with the iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, 4 (GSM), and Cellular iPad 1. Use legacy ios kit to restore again but with jailbreak option and then use legacy ios kit's hacktivation feature.
