Jailbreak Blacklisted iPhone 5?
So I just found out I bought an iPhone 5 off of Craigslist that apparently was reported lost/stolen. After tries of not connecting to my network I was told it could possibly be blacklisted. So I checked the IMEI and of course it was. Now I tried calling back the person who sold it to me and they apparently used some fake number that is no longer in use.
I'm now left with a useless iPhone from AT&T and I can't even have them take it off blacklist. I read in a couple websites there's really nothing I can do, besides use it as an iPod since it can't even used on other carriers in the US.
Now that I'm stuck with this "iPod" am I still unable to JAILBREAK it? I at least want something to be able to use aside from music. If I connect it to itunes will it brick the phone?
Any help is appreciated.
I think you can jailbreak it. I'm not sure but i think it can
