Icloud Locked Iphone

[Claribel Szwaja]

HelloI am learning to become cell phone repairman and I want to learn how to remove Icloud lock? There are alot of Icloud unlock websites and methods, but I am not sure if they work or not. Please do share your experience with Icloud unlocking.

Apple added the Activation Lock to iOS 7 to combat the rampant unauthorized reselling of lost/stolen devices. There is no way around this lockout your only options are to contact the person you bought it from and get (1) the Apple ID login credentials, or (2) your money back. If you bought it from an honest/legitimate seller, theyll help you out. If you bought a stolen device from a scumbag, you are simply SOL, and you now own a pretty, albeit expensive, paperweight.

When buying a device from anyone other than a legitimate retailer (Apple, wireless service provider, or big box store), make the seller meet you at your wireless provider's store and stay with you through the activation process. That alone will scare off most ne'er-do-wells. Otherwise, you may be throwing your money into a black hole.

I tried for years many methods and paying online sites only to wait months for no result. Unless you work at apple it simply cannot be done without previous owners iCloud password. Do not waste your time trying to remove iCloud lock.

That said, iCloud locked devices do serve a useful purpose in life, at least for a tech. They are great devices to practice on, especially from a micro-soldering perspective as you can try things you might not normally on a fully functional device. They can also serve as a repository of truly original parts but you always have to consider if you are helping or hurting in keeping this cycle going.

@minho "and iPhone theft would be a rampant problem." It IS a rampant problem. Do you think thieves check to see if it's locked when they snatch them off a table, or out of a purse/pocket, or any other way the end up with one? They find that out after the fact and either try to sell it as is or try to unlock it and fail and then sell it as is.

Edit: It is possible to unlock an Activation Locked device with a GSX account as stated by someone in another answer, but most people who claim to have one are either scammers, or extremely overpriced to the point that its cheaper to buy a new device (or both).

There are physical modifications that can be made to certain iPad models that remove iCloud Lock. In essence, you can turn an older GSM/LTE iPad into a WiFi-only iPad and circumvent Activation Lock. IIRC, it is still at risk when updating (less of an issue with old iPads) or resetting the device.

It is next to impossible to remove activation lock from the latest iPhones such as iPhone 12, iPhone 11, etc. But if you are using an older iPhone (iPhone 5s to iPhone X), then there are some paid third-party paid applications that can help you remove the icloud activation lock. They first jailbreak your iPhone and then unlock it.

My father bought a used iPhone 7 Plus from OLX (it is an Indian classified site similar to Craigslist) at a throw away price. He showed me the phone and asked me to create a new Apple ID so that he can start using the device. His happiness vanished as soon as I told him that he cannot use the device as it has the activation lock set by the previous owner. We contacted the seller and he asked us to pay INR 12,000 (about USD 160) which we denied to pay for obvious reasons. He learned the lesson hard way!

Say for instance, apple adds a submit your email option to the activation screen. This way, if a device is locked and attempts are bein made to log in, apple sends the newly submitted email to the email linked to the email linked to icloud quoting "I have a device locked to your account, do you still give a &&^& pls". This way people who either lost their device or forgot to sign in can mail new holder using a third party app or smthn. Atleast some light!

Yes and no. If you buy an iCloud locked iPhone, unless you know either the account email and password or the previous passcode, you will be unable to unlock it without jailbreaking it, I had this problem on an iPhone 5s.

Yeah, but very often a WORKING motherboard will cost more than the iPhones original value. I have an iPhone 6 16GB that I entered the wrong icloud password too many times and so put in a fake birthdate that I forgot so IFU. And now I'm screwed that I can't use the device.

Actually this one you have a chance at winning because you listed it corrected. You listed it for parts or not working in the item condition field and you stated that it is icloud locked. To win, you have to call customer service. Ebay has been refusing to close snad returns in the seller favor so it might be difficult and you might have to call a few times. I will say that.....it is probably in your best interest to accept the return and get the phone back. Winning an ebay case isn't always the end of it-the buyer can file with paypal if they used their paypal account to pay or do a credit card chargeback if they funded the payment with a credit card.

This is why I do not sell electronics on ebay. Have you called ebay about this? I would not even try to guess what they will or will not do in this case. Please just call them on the phone and demand to speak to someone you can communicate easily with. And don't go back and forth with this buyer. I think you should fight this until it is resolved because you have nothing to lose but a little time and it just may end up in your favor. It seems to me you did everything right. Good luck.

I am sorry you feel so frustrated about this buyer. However, none of that matters in the scheme of things. With all that being said, did you call ebay? Did you call Apple? I know Apple can't resolve your ebay issue but maybe someone there can answer your questions about the Cloud. The clock is ticking so don't let your time run out or you may get no resolve from ebay.

The buyer DID open a dispute. A request=a dispute. If you want to fight this, you have to CALL customer service to plead you case-explain that it was listed for parts or not working and that it is iCloud locked.

I successfully managed to unlock my iCloud-locked Apple Watch Series 8 after it had been stuck in activation lock limbo. It took five days, but the service providers successfully removed the lock from my device.

Goodnight.

Today the deadline of 5 business days more than I request, (since February 2) to unlock the icloud of the Ipad Air A1474, with the order 3147 and I have not had answer of their part. since I mention that it was (1-5 days), I have been very patient, but given their non-compliance I hope they reimburse the money, since it is one of their policies.

I grant 2 of qualification for the attention to the public, through the emails, but for their unlocking service they do not give reliability in the term that they describe, until today they have not fulfilled me

Hi, I have my iPhone 8 and it is iCloud activation locked. I ordered your service to unlock. For 3 working days, you send me to report that is unlocked. I restore my iPhone 8 by iTunes and work very nice. Thanks

Hello Sir,

We work on this. You can get the report in next 48h max from now on your Email. On the Apple, Servers have too many for unlocking processing, and that makes the normal delivery time to up.

Unfortunately, I bought this service 6 days ago and I still got neither unlock my iPhone nor response.

Sadly, I was about to order more for my other phone and share this website so that anyone can use it.

My order is #835
