IPhone 5 locked to iCloud account?
I found an AT&T iPhone 5 in the street last week. Before inquiring about it, i stupidly restored the phone & now it's stuck on the activation lock screen asking for the previous owner's iCloud email & password. Considering there's no way around the activation lock right now, i was wondering what my alternative options are, or if anyone can give me some info. Also, please keep your "try to find the owner of the phone", "you're a bad person" comments off this topic, not tryna hear all that lol. I'm not sure which one of these is the correct one, but i heard that my only option would be to swap out either the logic board or the motherboard with a new one that isn't locked to an iCloud account. Also, if i do end up doing that. Like i said the phone is AT&T. I wanna use the phone for TMobile. If i swap for a new logic/mother board, could i get one from a TMobile iPhone 5 & be able to use the phone for TMobile, or would i have to get a usable AT&T one & then get the phone unlocked?
So basically to sum up what i just said. I have an AT&T iPhone 5 locked to iCloud. I wanna know if i have to swap the logic board or motherboard to make it work. Which specific one i have to get. & if i would be able to get a TMobile logic/mother board to make the phone work for TMobile or if i have to get the correct one for the AT&T phone & then get it unlocked to use it for TMobile. Any help is appreciated!
There's a glitch to get around this look for it on youtube and if that fails locate the previous owner and ask for his password
Look and see what the carrier is and take it to them they can find the owner
This is your conscience. You're "not tryna hear all that"? I hope you lose a possession of yours and nobody returns it to you.

- Can i hook up an iphone that was on a locked account? My iphone 5 was on a sprint account with an ex who didn't pay the bill so the account got locked. I had to get a new phone and i new sprint account. I was wanting to sell my old phone. I completely erased my iphone 5 and i was wanting to sell it to a friend but i'm worried when he tries to hook it up will they not let him. I'm afraid they will see the serial number and see it was on a locked account.
