Hi. I bought a second hand iphone 4s. Firmware 7.1.2.

 

Anyway to bypass the icloud and able to use the phone normally? Thanks!

Search the forum next time, but no, you have to bring to a store for them to do it for you. Which cost you approx $90 or more. From @DiDA

U have to ask the seller to set it off, that is the only way

You can't bypass it.

I'm not sure if there were circumstances that I wasn't aware of that made it possible but I recently helped myself out of that same problem. I got an iPad 2 which was passcode locked for sure and the screen said it was disabled with what i thought was an icloud message from the individual who left it behind. I found this iPad at work, turned it in, and waited the 60 days for no one to claim it and believe it or not they gave it back to me. I was told the same thing, so it sat in a drawer for almost a year. With the 9.3.4 update out to kill jailbreaks and the beta ios 10 floating around, I learned that Apple would sign an install of 9.3.3 through itunes going backward from either 9.3.4 or 10. So since i couldn't even open it I tried something a little redundant. I was still sol to do anything to it in recovery, so i downloaded the .ipsw's for 9.3.4 and 9.3.3 for this iPad 2(4th gen) ios unknown and put it into dfu mode. Then i chose to restore the iPad completely to 9.3.4 through itunes and it let me do it. After that I immediately did the restore + shift to choose the 9.3.3 .ipsw from my files and it let me do that as well. When I set it up it was brand new with no trace of any former owner. It worked for me, maybe it will work for you too. Good Luck.

Passcode lock is not the same as iCloud lock.
