Remove iCloud from second hand iPhone?

Have an iPhone procured second hand(pawn shop). Not stolen however contacting previous owner seems to be impossible. It has been reset but to be able to activate the phone, it requires the account and password of the original owner. Again getting up with this person is not possible. I have experience with iPhones and a lot of the 3rd party software(ibackup bot, tiny umbrella, etc.) I need to know how to get past this. If it requires software I can use it. Whatever it is, I can figure it out if someone gives me instruction. Please Help. Please DO NOT tell me you need the password or "you're screwed". These are common answers on forums. If you don't know how to help, don't answer. If you do, THEN ANSWER Please. I can even offer 5 dollars on paypal for the person who helps. You can email me at darthjinxxx@gmail.com or even text me at (301) 538-1060. I'm giving all this info because i NEED to get this done, As soon as possible. Thats why i'm offering money. Please let me know.

You won't get around it. You should have checked that actually before you bought it.

So it's iOS7 and 'find my iphone' is still on by the original owner.
Found two hacks but no guarantees.
Best luck.

  • What should I know before buying a second hand iphone 4? So I've found a good deal for an iphone 4 but the thing I'm worried about obviously is getting scammed. I'm pretty sure it's not a China product but what I'm worried is things like if the iphone 4 is unlockable or not, the IMEI is blacklisted(do i have to worry about this too?). What other factors should I include when buying this? ** i'm actually going to see it for myself
  • Price of second hand iPhone 4S? I'm going to sell my iPhone 4S at the end of 2012 because I will need to study for medicine. Anyway, how much should I sell it for? I've had it from February 2012 and I've always been gentle with it. It has a screen protector and no bad scratches. Has never been dropped, broken or submerged in water. Australian dollar value please
  • Main things to check on an second hand iphone 4? I'm buying a second hand iphone 4 from someone locally and going to their house to collect. What are the main things I should look for so I know it's all working? Is there anything they are known for, for breaking? How can I tell if the phone is on contract? As its being sold as PAYG. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, I just don't want to miss anything!
