First off, I'm an Android guy; I don't know a damn thing about iPhones. Needing to get this phone unlocked for an associate of mine and I'll have made 100$. I've tried PassFab - iPhone Unlocker, Tenorshare Reiboot, Tenorshare 4uKey, AnyUnlock - iPhone Password Unlocker, all of which were cracked versions of the software, or software that came with a keygen (and none of which worked and still kept asking me to purchase a new registration key. Couldn't get any of those to work. iTunes has been all but useless.Can someone please help me out? I wouldn't mind paying for an unlock service, but it's so damn expensive, if I could find a service that would do it for like 10-15$ I'd get that. But all these people want like 30-40 which I think is outrageous. The first poaler to help me get this phone unlocked get's a 5$ reward sent to their cash app/paypal card or whatever.

Give it back, Tyrone.

OP needs to stop what they're doing.

If they didn't have iCloud turned off before wiping the phone, the phone is a literal brick.

Anyone who says they can get past iCloud Lock, other than the original account owner, is LYING. Period.

Sucks that OP has a paperweight, but he can still sell the phone for parts to recoop the lost. Just be honest about the fact that it's iCloud locked. The OEM screen and components like the frame and even the used OEM battery are inherently valuable.

But OP done fucked up for reals.

After the phone has been factory reset through iTunes, and yes you will need to do this so Google how to put the phone in DFU mode, upon setting up the phone you will be presented with the Apple ID which will have the first character of the email address followed by bullets and then @(whatever email address the iCloud account is associated with).com

Go to iCloud.com and use the Forgot ID or Forgot Password options, the original owner of the phone will need to be there with you, and if you can't figure out the password for the iCloud account, you need to schedule an appointment with the Genius Bar at your local Apple store. They will need to answer security questions, and the answers to these questions need to be input verbatim, they are indeed case sensitive.

If you pay $30-40 for someone to "unlock" the phone, you're just getting yourself scammed. What they are likely referring to, is unlocking the phone to be put for use on another network carrier, something that can be done yourself, for free. You are NOT getting past the passcode on an iPhone. Go ahead and watch YouTube videos and entertain yourself, I'm telling you, you're wasting your time.

If it's pictures videos and contacts that OP and his "associate" care about, iCloud accounts come with 5GB of free storage, so if the phone owner ever downloaded anything off of the App Store, ever, at all, there should be SOME data backed up to the cloud. If they didn't opt in to autopay $1/month for 50GB of iCloud storage, then what you see is what you get, and you will NEVER be able to retrieve any of the data on that iPhone, that much I PROMISE.

I'm not even sure the parts will work in another device. Everything in an iPhone is coded at this point.

Sometimes you can do it through iCloud, but for the most part it usually involves messing with the firmware. Unless there's an exploit for your particular version, it's actually a decent lock mechanism.

They'd have a better chance of breaking into Apple for the test equipment, than a bypass method.

Yes. As I stated, the lockscreen (unless there's an exploit in whatever version used) is actually a pretty decent lock.

They offered $100 to unlock it. You pay someone $40 to unlock it. You get the $100 and you are ahead by $60.

Is all of the extra hassle and time worth maybe getting that extra $35? ($35 as you said you would pay $5 to someone here that can help you, so would only end up with $95 in the end)

If you need to square it in your mind that you didn't lose out on $35, you can just pretend the guy offered you only $60 and not $100. You'll get quick, easy money you didn't have before with almost no effort, frustration or time spent (yours and others on here).

Pretty sure you can restart the phone in a mode that will let you wipe the phone through iTunes.

Any contents of the phone will be lost but it will be usable again.

Iphones are crap. Take it back.

If wiping, isn't an option what about one of the recent iPhone exploits?
