Hi, I recently changed the front and back glasses of my phone because I had dropped it and the front cracked. I could not change the front properly so I had someone who has done it numerous times change the whole thing. When I got the phone back on the 4th, it worked fine. I noticed the next day that my phone would shut off randomly and I would simply restart it. This happened about five times a day for the next two days so I found online that it may be a bad reset file (I had borrowed another iPhone while mine was being repaired and had to sync that one) so I reset my phone completely and then synced to my iTunes. It worked properly for a day and then had the same problem again, but not occurring as often so I just shrugged it off.

Today I wake up to my phone (which has been charging all night) with only 27% battery. I went to check my email and the phone shut off completely. When turning on, a message pops up saying 'requires activation' and when that badge goes away, I see the image that you are supposed to see when you first turn on the phone and need to plug it into iTunes.

I shut the phone off manually thinking this was just a fluke and now, after staying on the phone charger and also the computer charger to be connected to iTunes (like some posts have told me), will not turn on.

Methods tried:
press and hold power button for ~30 seconds
press and hold power button and home button ~30 seconds
connect to wall charger and repeat first two methods
connect to computer to attempt first two methods and hope phone will connect to iTunes.
wait 30 minutes with phone charging and try everything again.
