Help/Support iPad Air 2 on iOS 9.3.3 Stuck on Activation Lock

Rook · September 20, 2019

Hey!

So my iPad Air 2 on iOS 9.3.3 recently had battery issues so I sent it in for repairs, and I just got it today and noticed that the iPad is now stuck on Activation Lock screen for some reason.

The iPad is currently not in a Jailbroken state, unfortunately and I cannot get passed the activation lock. It's telling me that it's failing to contact Apple servers and that I should restore and update to the latest iOS version to try again. Naturally, I cannot and do not wish to update this iPad as it's where I do almost all of my work.

I saw this video and I was able to load https://jbme.qwertyoruiop.com/ and hopefully jailbreak as I'd be able to do a bit more regarding this activation lock, but it crashes the page with no further information, thus not working.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get the iPad working again?

It's not that kind of activation lock, it doesn't ask for Apple ID and password, just tries to activate it for some reason. I assume no Apple ID was in the iPad as it appears as offline in Find my iPhone app.

This is the screen I get:
