Help/Support KIcked iCloud Phone

XerJr · April 28, 2017

hello guys

im just wondering

my gf bought a 6s and the owner said this phone is a "kick icloud" thingy

and he said dont even try to factory reset or you will getting that icloud message that prevent you to use the phone, also cannot update the ios over itunes or the same thing will happen, only updates through OTA will do the phone no harm

is there any way to clean format this phone? im thinking to jailbreak her phone tho

but the risk is too damn high because of the warn

oh the iOS version is 9.3.3 now, 64gb (if it helps)

No, the device is basically stolen or atleast did not belong to the man who sold it to you, from what I can tell the only truth the seller told you was "Not to factory reset" the device as this will make the device usless and locked asking for the real owners Apple ID.

If you want to keep the device in a working order do not update it and do not restore it via iTunes or the options in the devices settings option.

You have been scammed ?

If you do not update or factory reset the device it should run as normal and jailbreaking with Pangu iOS 9 tool should be fine as you do not need to reset the device nor do you require a Apple ID, However if you get in a bootloop after jailbreaking the device is screwed as you will not be able to restore.

Hope all goes well ??

You Just hope and pray the real owner don't remotely wipe the device ?

Your GF Apple ID is not registered to that device, the real owners is, when you first get a new iDevice you create and log in to an Apple ID, this stays on the device and is logged on Apple Cloud Servers, the device is registered to that user, what has happened is that the guy you brought it from had access to the device and was able to "Sign out" via the settings panel, this will not remove the Apple ID from the Apple Servers, it only removes it from the device allowing another Apple ID to be used, this ID is not registered to the device, the real owner still has the device on the Apple Servers and he/she has all the details to remotely wipe the device from the Apple Server.

For the record, the device is not your GF, it may have been paid for by her or you but the fact remains the same, the device is stolen/lost and is not yours or your GF, the owner can still access the device and wipe it.

My friend brought a stolen/lost iPhone, he has had it for well over 2 years, recently he was locked out of the device because the owner remotely wiped the device, it now requires the original Apple ID that the device was set up with .

Sentence of advice :

Never underestimate Apple Security
