How to unlock iPhone from update if Apple ID is disabled?
My mom installed an update on her iPhone 4 and now it's saying to complete the update you must put in Apple ID and password. Yet, the Apple ID that the phone was originally set up with is disabled. So is there any way to delete the update? Or to use a different Apple ID? Or should we call the store? We re kind of in a rut because she can't afford to get a whole new phone

Your best chance is to get that account enabled again because it'll ask you for it even if you mange to downgrade to a version that didn't have activation lock given that this is server side.
Since it's a 4 there are methods to bypass the setup screen but if you don't activate it you won't be able to use it as a phone, only as an iPod.
