Is there any possible way to get past the activation lock on an iPhone 5?
I bought an iPhone from my friends friend. Well he failed to tell me that I needed his username or password to actually use the phone, and I have no contact with this person. Is there any way to get past this or am I out of 80$?
No you can't truly. I have tried.
IOS 7 security is very tight in regards to this. For $80 it sounds way to fishy as well. Usually that generation iPhone could sell easily for no less than $300. He may have found it or stolen it and just sold it to you for a quick buck.
For $80 he was certainly not the owner of the phone, your lucky your only out $80. Don't buy obviously stolen items again.
Bring the phone to an Apple store then tell them your sad story.
Pay your friend 40 of that 80 to have him get his friend to give you the credentials. Wait? They're not really friends and it's a stolen phone? Now it's an $80 paperweight. No way around it that I've ever seen that actually works or that won't cost you some more coin. Have fun with these. Best luck.
Nope. Impossible. Why not get your friend to contact his friend about getting back your money?
You won't get past it, all these people posting old video from youtube don't realize it won't work. If they are updated on 7 with the latest then you are stuck, get the person who owned it wipe it for you.
- Who can tell me how to get past that activation lock on iPhone 5s? I have proof of purchase to an iPhone 5s I purchased from eBay. Apple informed me that they or my phone provider could bypass the activation lock and that is why I purchased the phone for a better price than buying brand new. Then neither the Apple store nor AT&T could help me with my problem. The seller hasn't been much of a help and will not give me the information I need to get past the activation lock, is there another way?
- My iphone 4's lock button is broken. Is there any other possible way to turn it on? Its not my current phone, but I need to download music & pictures off it but its off and the button is totally unusable. I tried to talk to the Apple store but I can't get the serial number off the phone (due to the fact that its OFF ) so they were unhelpful.
- Is there anyway to get past an iPhone 7 Activation lock? Is there a way to bypass or hard reset? I found this iPhone fishing with no sign of it's owner. There was no sim card in it and it's iCloud locked.
- Is there any way to bypass an activation lock connected to an email on an iPhone 6s? So, i bought an iPhone from somebody, they reset it to new, but never deactivated their iCloud or whatever. Is there a way to remove it if you can't bypass it?
