Unable to activate the phone after factory reset. Before that was working fine. Just bought it 2nd hand. Previous owner modified at SLS from 16G to 128G. Tried using itune to restore also failed. Bring to apple store and m1 store also cannot.

Shouldn’t be due to memory as I don’t think they check.

Is there a local SIM card insert in the iPhone while u try to activate it?

Appl got check for the memory serial part .
Got people already warn. If u ask third party to upgrade and you do any updates or reset. Once u reset or update. Apple will recheck all the parts in the phone. They needs to be tally with the parts in the server in order to activate.

Sls they flash/somehow got activate it

Update:
Went to GW mobile and got it fix for 80 bucks. He said the compass hardware spoilt. IOS 11 will check for any faulty hardware before allowing you to activate.
