Apple Bypassing activation lock on a used iPhone 11. Solutions?

[slaphappygamer]

I bought this iPhone used and it’s activation locked. Anyway to bypass it? I contacted the seller, but am getting no reply.

Nope, iCloud lock might as well be a brick

The seller probably found the phone or stole it. I found a reddit post with a software called "iAmADirtyPhoneThief" that you can research about. Apple hardware has really tight security as they make their hardware in-house and don't have to follow standards like android devices. I have limited experience with iPhone jailbreaking but if the software on the iPhone is old enough, there may be some luck in breaking into it.

Edit: The said software is only for Macs apparently

The only way to possibly bypass is a bootrom exploit, that hasn't happened since l1mera1n (a4 bootrom), meaning iPhone 4 can be bypassed, since bootrom exploit is tied to the soc

He or she knew it was locked and didn't mention it. Too big of a detail to forget.

Can jailbreak be installed on an Activation/iCloud locked iPhone?

No

Anyone who says this is impossible is wrong. The only way to do it though is to find someone who offers the service of removing the lock on the backend server. Hard to find a reputable seller, but definitely possible. If you bought this on eBay though, START A RETURN WHILE YOU CAN. If the seller doesn't respond, start a case and eBay will automatically side with you and force a refund. If it's been longer than 30 days since the package arrived, contact PayPal instead.

I don't trust any of those unlock services, that's why I recommend Android


Who remembers the gadgetwide scam?

Call Apple support, they'll help you with it over the phone. Much of this stuff is automated too, making shit really easy.

You might as well just get an Android, they'll just say they can't help you, but you can buy a new iPhone instead

I don't get why that would be. All you should need is the IMEI number for the phone, and an Apple ID.

You have prove it's your phone, if it isn't they'll want a valid proof of purchase, but what do they consider a valid purchase....they rather you spend more money to get a slightly newer phone, they'll constantly be like, "the phone is outdated" and "buy our latest stuff and not have any bugs or issues" or "pay us an arm and leg to repair it" and "we don't support self repair, but we do support planned obselecence" your phone will always magically start malfunctioning shortly after the warranty has ran out

PayPal covers online purchases to up to 6 months, if I recall correctly. But, in normal situations no one should wait that long if the product is faulty.

Right & as you've got no evidence that the person it was bought from was legitimate, then your proof of purchase from them would be invalid.

Otherwise you could steal an iphone, set up two ebay accounts, sell it to yourself and then ask apple to unlock it.

I was finally able to return the phone. iPhone security is pretty solid.

Nah it's just that the apple hacking scene has a bunch of ppl who hack phones, to run unauthorized code, but get pissy over bypassing iCloud, they never released it apparently Because people will steal your iPhone then bypass, wtf kinda sense that makes when you're hacking the phone idk, to the point where they had an iCloud bypass, released it in a password protected rar to troll people (ih8sn0w)

Apple sucks, and its hacking scene is worse than it's tech support, worse than the 360 homebrew scene
