Hey Sup Forums

I recently bought an iphone off of ebay used, and the guy told me that there wasn't a password set for the device, but there is a password

I tried to contact the seller but he's not responding

How would you recommend I unlock this?

give it back tyrone

Jamal. Give it back.

By not being a thief.

Give it back you fucking nigger.

> I recently bought an iPhone from amazon
> bought

meme racism is still racism

Take it to apple and tell them you stole an iPhone and you're very sorry. Ask them to tell the original owner

Nobody noticing that this "iPhone" runs Android?

you have no fucking balls Jamal get out stay out!!!!!!

>meme racism is still racism

So what?

did someone say it wasnt

I work for Apple as a Vulnerability Research Engineer so I'll shed a little light on these mysterious locks.

>Why is it there?

Apple iOS devices use FDE (full disk encryption) to defend the data held on the NAND flash chip in the device. Some smart engineers thought that the hardware needs some kind of mechanism to deter theft. So between the FDE and iCloud lock, the entire device (hardware and software) is protected.

>What triggered it, why am I seeing it?

Either you yourself are a nigger or you were jewed out of hundreds of dollars by niggers on ebay.

>Can I remove it myself?

No. Take it to an Apple store with proof of purchase.

>How does it work?

If the Find my iPhone/iPod/iPad feature was turned on in the settings, it will be locked after you restore it. If you are the rightful owner, this will be no problem. When you go through the process of wiping it in iTunes, the program sends messages over USB to a logical partition called the NOR. This is where the baseband is held. If these messages come back false, Find My iPhone was not on and the device is not locked. If the message comes back true, iTunes will lock that device. The serial number and GID key are blacklisted in Apple servers telling iTunes to keep locking it. There is no way to reflash a stock firmware without iTunes because it needs to be verified by Apple.

>Can I change the serial number or GID key?

No. Both are hard coded into the AES module which is hardware. It's nearly impossible to replace individual board components unless you have super expensive equipment that only Apple owns.

>Can I wipe/modify the NOR?

If you do, you'll hard brick the device. The information there is used by the iBoot to populate the device tree. The LLB image is also loaded from there. If you play with it you'll royally fuck the device.

I bet you guys are real tough posting on the technology section of an Arabian quilt internet forum aren't you?

>I bet you guys are real tough.....

I'll bet you're a Bernie fan you drippy cunt.

I definitely don't support some socialist, flip-flopping douche-bag that's for sure. Seems you do though.

Glad to know ole' Bernie will get crushed by someone else.

So tough. So fucking tough. I'm quaking in my boots over here mate.

>So tough. So fucking tough. I'm quaking in my boots over here mate.

Interesting. What exactly have I said that you find "so tough" and are so afraid of? Apart from Bernie getting the shaft obs...

file a complaint with ebay, worst case scenario you can do a chargeback.

Have any ideas on how the FBI unlocked the San Bernardino iPhone?

>not using the sheeet edition

>ebay
contact paypal, they always side with the buyer

File a claims with eBay tell them the item doesn't work and the seller is not responding to you.
Why is everyone on Sup Forums so dumb not to know how to fucking contact ebay and get your money back I mean really? And I bet you been emailing the seller rather then messaging him over ebay so ebay can see your messages you been sending him.
Thinking about buying myself an iPhone June 1st hopefully.

>iphone
Found your problem.

Jokes on You I built a Hackintosh and it was possibly the best move I made.

>Why is everyone on Sup Forums so dumb
>uses toddlerOS

not him but i'll spill

all they did was use an exploit that had been found by a security research company that stopped the iphone from time locking itself after 10 wrong pin entries. then, they bruteforced (tried every possible pin) until they got a match. since they weren't wiping the device, icloud lock was still on, and they were able to view content stored on the device.

i cannot give my source up, but this flowed from my district fbi office to my FTO to me.

This is clearly a Somalian basket weaving swap meet

If you bought it, file a complaint with ebay. You'll get your money back.

Otherwise, give it back Joaquim...

Good news guy's :3

The seller got in contact with me, it turns out his name is Jamal and he stole it from some girl on a college campus, I'm shipping it back and paypal refunded me
