How can I reset an Iphone 6 with no passcode or itunes?
I'm an uber driver and i've been holding onto this iphone 6 someone left behind for over a year now. I'm deciding to sell it but i want to unlock and reset it. I have downloaded Itunes onto my computer but when I tried to connect it I get an error message 0xE8000015. The phone has a passcode so I can't get into it that way.
What are some solutions for unlocking this phone and resetting it?
Apple destroys phones… The 6s esp started the trend of BRICK status.
You can put the phone into DFU mode by holding the volume up and home button when powering it on to reset it via iTunes.
However, if the person set up their iCloud account on the phone then it will ask for that email and password after the reset to activate it. Without those the phone is useless.
You don't the whole idea of what you are seeing is designed to make stolen phones valueless!
You can't. It's the basic anti-theft system, only the real owner can ever unlock and reset / reactivate it.
Also it is stolen property and permanently traceable by the serial numbers.
You should have handed it to the Police.
Failure to do so is criminal theft - "Theft by finding" or "Theft by omission" etc., depending on the country and local laws.
It's no different in law to "finding" something in someone else's pocket…
Let's change some words:
"I'm an smartphone user and i've been holding onto this car someone left parked on the street I was walking down for over a year now. I'm deciding to sell it but i want to unlock and reset it. I have downloaded keyfob codes onto my computer but when I tried to connect it I get an error message 0xE8000015. The car has a passcode so I can't get into it that way."
Maybe someone will drive away with your uber-car with the same mentality as you have.
- 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…
- Is there anyway I can manually reset my iPhone 5s completely without using iTunes or passcode? I need to reset my iPhone 5s and I don't have access to a computer right now and my cousin thought it was funny to change my passcode I can't just call him to get it so that's not an option. Is there ANY other way? Like any buttons is have to hold? Lol
- Is there anyway I can bypass my passcode on my iPhone 4 or it's a 5 I'm not sure but I can't remember the passcode but I need it I know you can restore but I don't want to do that because I don't think I have the computer I backed it up to back then. And i don't know what update this is. Like I haven't see the emergency button there at all in any videos
- Is there a way to hard factory reset my iphone without passcode, itunes, or computer? I found this iphone (5s I think) and I was wondering if there's a way to reset it w/o all that junk.
