How to factory reset a locked iPhone that is not mine?
I found an iPhone on the street and honestly did everything I could to return it to its owner, it's an old 4 so the person didn't seem to be using find my iPhone or try in any way to contact the phone and reclaim it. A while has gone by and I recently broke my phone and would like to set up this new phone in my account if possible. How can this be done? I don't want Apple to think I stole it, and when I try restoring it on iTunes it seems I need the owners information. Any help is greatly appreciated!
If it isn't locked then you should be able to connect it to iTunes and factory restore it on there. Now if it is locked then I don't think you'd be able to do that because it would tell you to unlock it first. Also if they reported it stolen/lost then i think the company would have it set in as a bad ESN and I don't know if you'd be able to set it up in your account. But you may be able to put your sim card in if you have one.
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
