Today, I will show you how to use checkra1n jailbreak to bypass iCloud on any device from iPhone 5s to iPhone X. The idea is to do SSH via USB, as checkra1n uses SSH ramdisk, and delete /rename or patch the Setup.app running iCloud activation screen on your device.

Macbook Pro - iMac 1) Add or remove a stick of ram. Obviously if you have one stick in, add one and if you have two in remove one. 2) Power on the mac and immediately press and hold command-option-P-R. ( only 1 chance, if failed need to remove / add ram before next attempt ). Launch the System Preferences app on your Mac, Click on iCloud. Next, here's what you can try: If you've simply been logged out, re-enter your existing iCloud password to log yourself back in. You may need to two-factor authenticate if you have that set up.

This method is different from the Custom Firmware restore iCloud bypass method but the idea is the same => patch or invalidate setup.app to bypass activation screen.

Unfortunately, deleting Setup.app will force your device to get the baseband activation status to UNACTIVATED so the following services won’t work on your device:

• No SIM signal (no service issue)
• No iMessage
• No Facetime
• Not able to add new iCloud account
• Not able to use with iTunes (it will show device activation screen in iTunes)

Even if you patch setup.app config to show the completed setup process like:

The device will still be unactivated as the lockdownd (the iOS daemon running the activation process) won’t be able to find a valid activation ticket on your device. Also, the device needs to receive a valid wildcard wicket to properly activate the baseband.

Activation Lock is a security feature on iOS devices to protect your device from being accessed by unauthorized people in case it gets lost or stolen. Users who erase their devices without signing out of iCloud in advance or bought a second-hand device from others are usually asked to enter the Apple ID and password to turn off the Activation Lock.

How to remove iCloud Lock without password if you bought a used iPhone from someone else and the device is still linked to the previous owner's account? The simplest and most straightforward way is to ask the previous owner for help. If the previous owner is not with you, you are lucky if you still have contacts with him or her. You can ask the previous owner to remotely delete the iPhone from the current iCloud account and then set it up with your own Apple ID as per the following these steps:

Step 1: Go to iCloud.com and sign in with his or her Apple ID and password.

Step 2: Click on the option of Find iPhone to go on.

Step 3: Tap on All Devices at the top of the interface and choose the device that you want to remove from iCloud.

Step 4: Select Erase iPhone and confirm to erase the device as per the on-screen instructions.

Step 5: Choose the option of Remove from Account and then finish this step patiently.

After the previous owner removes the device from his or her iCloud successfully, you can restart this device and back to the setup process.

Part 3: Contact Apple to Remove Activation Lock on Your Device for You

Is there any other way on how to turn off Activation Lock on iPhone without Apple ID or password? The answer is yes. You can take your device to the local Apple store to look for solutions. But you must show some evidence like your original receipt containing the device's serial number and your name or proof to prove that you have the ownership of this device. In the case that you bought the device from someone else other than Apple Store or an authorized Apple reseller, you must prove that the ownership has been transferred from the original owner to you.

If you think the above process is a little troublesome, you can also try to make a call to Apple Support to ask the sales representative to remotely remove the Activation Lock from your device. In that case, you must explain the situation in details. If you don't meet their requirements or you are unable to provide conclusive evidence to show that you are the legal owner, they will refuse to turn off Activation Lock for you. And if the device is checked as a stolen iPhone by Apple, they won't help also.
