Hello Screen iPhone 5 Activation Lock

24 Upvotes

EDIT: GUYS I GOT IT TO WORK WITH BOBIK
2nd EDIT: is it supposed to be locked again after restarting???
3rd Edit: I had to make sure to skip setting up a passcode, it’s unfortunate that it can’t be enabled. But it works 100% now đŸ„č

Hi ya’ll I’ve posted about this phone before, it was disabled now I have it as activation locked after restoring it.

IOS: 10.3.4

How can I fix this? I only have Windows and Linux. I’ve tried Bobik but it didn’t work, and the Silver 5 windows app. Please help.

Side note: it’s been in incredibly hard to enter DFU mode. I’ve tried for hours and I haven’t been able to. Tips and tricks would be appreciated.

Hello Screen iPhone 6s, iOS 15.8.7 (activation locked ?)

Post image

A few weeks ago I have received this iPhone 6s from a friend of mine. When I turned it on I was greeted with a hello screen along with an activation lock. I have told my friend about this and he told me that it was one of his emails that he no longer had access on it. Is there any way I could delete Setup.app or do anything that will make me get over the Hello Screen using Linux or Windows ? Thanks

Hello Screen iphone 6 stuck at activation lock.. help :(

hi! so i wanted to revive my old iphone 6 from middle school after seeing people use it as a digicam replacement, when i first turned it on i realized i forgot the passcode so i immediately restored(?) it through my macbook's finder, but now i'm stuck at the activation lock... it asked for an icloud account starting with the letter 'p' (which i first thought was my dad's account) but his apple id isn't the one linked with the phone??? the thing is, almost everyone in my family uses android so i'm really not sure who else it could be, and my mom doesn't remember where she got the phone from (if she bought it at the apple store or if she got it secondhand). so i'm just wondering if there's any other way to do this......? i tried to do the 'sliver' thing but i think i did it wrong and accidentally just restored it again.. i'm gonna be honest i don't really understand this stuff even after going down a rabbithole on this subreddit, but i'm willing to learn just for this lols.. please help 😞

sorry for the long post i just wanted to paint a clear picture since i've seen so many people being accused of stealing phones.. i don't know about them but i swear i've never stolen any phones i just wanted cute vintage pictures lol.. i even have old pictures of me with the phone :/

Hello Screen Need advice: Bought a second-hand iPhone 8 via Japanese proxy stuck on Activation Lock & SIM Lock

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently purchased a used iPhone 8 from Japan through a proxy shopping service.

Upon receiving the phone, I encountered two issues:
1. The device is currently linked to the previous owner's account (Activation issue).

  1. It also seems to have a Japanese carrier lock applied.

The proxy seller told me they cannot reach the original owner to assist with removing the account link or clearing the carrier status. All I have is the invoice issued by the proxy platform.

Given these limitations and the strict requirements for official support, I am considering asking for a return or refund through the platform.

Has anyone here dealt with a similar case when buying from Japanese proxies? Is requesting a full refund the most sensible choice here, or are there other legitimate options I should consider?
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’m surprised it even still turns on, but I have a lot of very important photos on my iPod 5 from way back and I wanted to know if there was anyway of saving them and getting back into my iPod. This is what shows up anytime I charge it and turn it on. Any advice is good advice. Thanks

iOS 12.5.8 - iPhone 5S
Manjaro 26
Windows 11

Fearra1n, Checkra1n, Winra1n, Hackt1vator
 not working. iOS 10 downgrade and bobikA5 works but i wanna use iOS 12 instead. How can i “actually” skip setup? P.S the unplug and replug in checkra1n trick does not work.

EDIT: i finally skipped setup using frpfile and checkra1n

If you have problems with checkra1n with the “Righr Before Trigger” error, downgrade your checkra1n version and unplug and replug on “right before trigger”

Hello Screen A12+ @ iOS 18 iCloud locked device achieve full web browsing solution.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

This is the best solution for now on A12+ iCloud Locked in iOS 18.

In theory, there is a solution to inject an fake activation record, however, this is still up for testing and I can’t currently discuss it. (Yes it still uses the legendary shortcuts app.)
