Activation Lock on iPhone 5- what does it have to do with factory unlock?
http://ebay.ie/itm/111232445400?cmd=VIDESC
I'm planning to unlock my iphone 5c. I'm going to use ebay to unlock it because it's cheap. The link above has said something about the activation lock. I know my iCloud password and all but I don't get his explanation on having iCloud off before upgrading to ios7.
Can someone give a Clare explanation on what he's saying please?!
Hi, there's no reason to be afraid. It just means that for people the stole the phones or found them it won't work if Find My iPhone (iCloud lock) is ENABLED.
In your case you know the passwords and all the info so you do not have to care. If they ask you to disable it, then disable it for the unlocking process and then enable it again after it is done.
We offer the same service and I know what I'm talking about. When I see that the customer phone has iCloud enabled, then I ask him to disable it to see if it is him who owns the phone. And if he can't disable it then there's no reason to continue the unlock process as he is not able to get pass this Activation Lock screen. We refund such orders. And we refund failures as well of course.
- Unlock iPhone 4 with Activation Lock? I recently found my old iPhone 4, but at that time I used a different Apple ID. I barely remembered the email let alone the password. I tried a bunch of attempts, but when I finally figured it out it had "suspicious activity" and I needed to change my password. Unfortunately, I have no clue what email the verification code was sent to. Is there any way to get into it? Its important I make it functional again
- I did a factory reset on my iPhone 6s and I'm locked out of it? How do I figure out the activation lock? I've been trying to figure this out for an hour now and came up with nothing. Yeah, I had bought another phone since I was locked out of my iPhone for a week with no idea how to get past it.
- I can't unlock my iphone 5. Activation lock page opens up? I can't remember the apple id using which i had opened my phone. Is there a way in which i can know the email address of my activation lock email id.
- How well does IOS 7's activation lock work? I just had my iphone 5s stolen today (which I needed for an appointment today fml) that I only owned for about a month and I'm curious, is this activation lock thing effective? I remember a friend talking about how good it was a few months ago, but people might've figured ways to get around it now. It would give me a bit of solace if I knew for sure that they can't do anything with it (like sell it) at the very least.
