RE: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone
Same thing happened here with a 5c. The dialog said I could do it through iTunes, so I unplugged/replugged the phone to get iTunes to focus on the phone. Immediately a dialog came up on the PC requesting ID and password. I put it in and all is well.

Re: Trouble with 9.3 activating iPhone
This may not help much, but if you have an Apple Store in your area then you might want to make a trip there and get someone to look at it. I know not everyone lives close to one but it can be a great resource in times like this.
