Why did I get an activation lock in regards to 'Find my iPhone'?
So yesterday I was in the middle of texting my friend until my phone switched off then like 5 seconds later the apple logo came up. Then I was told to enter my Apple ID and password etc and something to with find my iPhone. I can't remember the exact words but it also said "it may take a few minutes to activate your phone". I bought my iPhone from a second hand shop in 2014. So what did this mean?
Yes its a stolen phone that usually happens if you buy phones from shops like that
- Will I get activation lock if I restore? So my Iphone 5 running iOS 7.0.4 got stuck on apple logo. The problem is that I'm using a different apple id than before and I don't remember my password and thus i can't around Activation Lock. But before i got this problem i turned off find my iphone but on my newer itunes id if this has any connection whatsoever.
- Will flashing my iphone get rid of the activation lock? I bought a iphone 4s from someone and they forgot to sighn the iphone off of there icloud account. So i'm wondering if i have it flashed ( say by Metro PCS os something ) will the iphone be like new again?
- 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?
