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: 

"Activation could not be completed. Please restore the iPad and install the latest version of iOS and attempt activation again."

Tried, same results. Does iTools or the other program that you use have any option for Activation Locks?

iirc the only way to fix this is restore. I read some articles about this before you should delete the setup.app in /Application/ before going to replace the battery

Probably won’t work, but if you can deploy apps with XCode in that state, deploy your jailbreak app that auto runs the jailbreak code on launch so it runs the code and JBs for SSH.

@DADi devices on iOS 9.3.X and lower can no longer be activated, and require an update a newer iOS version to be able to be used

The Pangu app requires interaction.

How?

It's been a thing for around an year and a half I think. 

The topic was popular on reddit because many people couldn't reactivate their devices after it randomly locked them out

Anyone found a solution on there?
