iCloud Unlock/Bypass Instructions. 100% WORKING

Open geelongmicrosoldering opened this issue 5 years ago • 31 comments

Just wanted to leave these here because there has been so many requests raised as issues regarding the subject.

Heres how to properly bypass iCloud with checkm8.

  1. Stop stealing devices.
  2. Seriously, just stop.
  3. Read the readme file. The very first thing that you see when you visit the project. Specifically, pay attention to the part that suggests this exploit is not a jailbreak tool and should be used by developers, for development/research.
  4. Become a developer.
  5. Make yourself some custom ramdisk that bypasses iCloud in some way.
  6. Use ipwndfu and the checkm8 exploit to execute said ramdisk, bypassing iCloud.
  7. Stop raising issues that are in fact not issues (like this one).
  8. Just stop asking.

I was really excited when i discovered this so i had to share. I hope everyone finds it useful. I couldn't believe how easy it was.

I also found the "100% working solution for full untether checkm8 jailbreak 2019 cydia unlock hack fix bro".

Let me know if you would like me to share it too! :)

Can we please just pin this? This is great!

100% agreed with OP. Im unfortunately not too enhanced with ARM to contribute myself, but I am all up for preventing theft, because people believe checkm8 could help them with their crime.

I don't think pinning this will help. To be honest, most of the "plz icloud remov" people can't read, if they did, they would know better.

Now, to be clear, i do not support stealing people's devices. If you think otherwise, i'm sorry, but f**k you. You shouldn't be able to unlock these. However, working at a repair shop, we do have piles of devices that people donated for parts or just let go as they were too old to fix, and it would be nice to be able to restore at least some sort of functionality. Not so much for any malicious purpose, but instead to be able to do something with these devices that otherwise are essentially trash.

Even of one did bypass the activation stage somehow (i have no in-depth knowledge of iOS internals, so might be wrong on this one) i imagine there would be issues with logging into App Store and possibly other apps requiring an Apple ID... which is fine if you want to use the device for dev/hackery. Not fine if you'd want to sell the device off to someone as something fully functioning.

Tbh, i am more interested in someone putting effort into a 64 bit ssh ramdisk (that can query SEP with a known passcode for decryption).

Putting 8 hours into a board to find yourself in a bootloop, unable to update due to fsck exiting with an error (Error 26, your customers data is mine now) is pretty disheartening.

Being able to offer a path to data would be a game changer for the repair industry.

Stop stealing devices. Not stolen sometimes. In my case, friend had forgotten their password, left it locked to me to see if anything could be done, just for fun. Didn't have a cell plan. Majority of cases they're just phones people buy for parts, assumptions in this case is unnecessary. Owner forgets password, doesn't care, sells. Sometimes stolen, yes. But don't assume everyone steals devices. Seriously, just stop. Please refer above ^ Read the readme file. The very first thing that you see when you visit the project. Specifically, pay attention to the part that suggests this exploit is not a jailbreak tool and should be used by developers, for development/research. checkm8 is an exploit which can lead into the possibility of custom ipsws that can be restored to an iDevice with or without blobs. Bypass can be done by the stupidity of deleting setup.app but not without limits. I find this statement to be a bit iffy on either side of the spectrum. Everyone is going to fuck with this with any given tutorial. They won't listen. Become a developer. lol. Make yourself some custom ramdisk that bypasses iCloud in some way. Fair point. Use "ipwndfu" and the "checkm8" exploit to execute said ramdisk, bypassing iCloud. Refer above. Stop raising issues that are in fact not issues (like this one). Well agreed, Windows Support ones, this, et cetera. Quite annoying and typically OP doesn't close 'em (not that this one needs closing or anything but imo it does). Just stop asking. Agreed. Patience is a bit of a key that no one seems to have.

Surprised how it’s already been fairly established that bypassing an iCloud activation lock is impossible, and if it could be bypassed somehow would render parts of iOS unusable, some of which would render the iDevice as non-functioning like the inability to use app store as stated above and to backup/restore via iTunes and so on. Rather than stealing iPhones which in todays world quickly become cheap bricks that most respectable buyers and trade/buy/sell stores don’t wanna touch, browse used iPhones on eBay and so on if you’re too broked**k to save up for pre owned or new.....i know no matter how many times these icloud how to bypass crowds are given a solid answer they’ll continue to beat this dead horse into a bottle of adhesives. I also know this doesn’t account for all iCloud Activation locks but from my experience there’s less innocent reasons and predominately it is theft or is a stolen phone which was sold to an ignorant buyer who failed to do a little checking of IMEI numbers online...

ignorance can't be argued, and so I'll stay out of it. what I said is what I said. iCloud Locked devices are stolen, and sometimes not stolen. you just can't simply assume. they're relatively cheaper than a preowned device as a whole, et cetera. not everyone is going to drop X $ for a fully working device when they can save money that way. quite ridiculous this needs any arguing. but as I said, ignorance can't be argued so I'll stay out of it at this point.

Sukarodo i absolutely agree that there are legitimate use cases. And i respect that. I would suspect that the majority of people opening new issues and asking though, probably don't fall into the legitimate use cases.

But that is absolutely just an assumption.

In any case, opening issues asking for iCloud unlocks or how to get cydia, are not helping progress. As someone else mentioned, the people doing so are apparently unable to read, or choosing to ignore the readme. If there was some elaborate procedure to bypass iCloud, and ipwndfu had anything to do with it, the instructions would probably be skipped anyway in favour of another new issue.

I obviously intend to close this. At the moment I'm leaving it open so that it is visible when a user goes to create another iCloud unlock issue. I feel like the title is eye catching.

Less in the interest of humour, and more in the hopes that they will realise there is no benefit to asking, and that doing so is abusing the issues system.

With that said, this issue in itself is abusing the issues system, so it won't stick around for long. Probably until the traffic here dies down a bit more, or a bunch of people agree its time to close it

You might want to change the title when you close this.

You sure don’t seem to familiar with how security features that have made iCloud locking as significantly unbeatable up to the present day. The feature is only allowed to be turned on with physical access to the device that it’s being activated on and can only be removed with being able to provide the account information that was signed in at the time the find my iPhone feature was activated. Doing anything else would risk the ability for anyone to lock devices that they did not have in their hands which would make all devices at risk for removing lock from all accounts instead of one account per each device and the knowledge of which account info that needs to be entered would be limited to the owner of the device since that’s the only possible information that can validate the encrypted file that’s added to each device as soon as find my I is enabled. This extends the device unlock to no further than its probable owner and not even able to be unlocked by Apple if they wanted to because they can’t provide the proper encryption key that’s locked with a single iCloud accounts ability to verify and disable its presence being completely in one icloud accounts ability per device and no other ways to remove the firmware while the feature is on that’s able to pass the security checks that restores require from the hard coded rom which is what’s running the security chain verifications.

Assuming people are stealing devices is stupid a huge amount of broken iphones you get in batches from places like ebay have icloud locks and those are usually from recycling centers who are selling the phones on for as parts

Bypass definition - Bypass, in general, means either to go around something by an external route rather than going through it, or the means of accomplishing that feat. In network security, a bypass is a flaw in a security system that allows an attacker to circumvent security mechanisms to get system or network access.

iCloud has been bypassed many times on previous firmwares so by saying it’s impossible just makes you look stupid. https://twitter.com/hackxss/status/1156773820432302080?s=21 Take a look at iOS 11 beta 1 for example. Using voiceover to trick the system and open control centre. Giving access to almost every app on the device if you know what to do. It’s the only bypass I know of that gives access to camera, video and screen recording.

i am following the icloud bypass community for more then 3 years i believe we are now more close to an icloud bypass then ever read this article to understand all details https://myicloud.info/bypass-icloud-lock-with-bootrom-exploit and how close we are now special with checkm8 To bypass signature verification

What happened, someone stole your iphone? Work for apple? Love paying a thousand bucks and have them buy it back for a hundred dollars? where do stolen phones end up? bought by AT and T, T Mobile and others, refurbished, and used once again. Apple is happy with thieves around the world. Now, there are thousands and thousands of people locked out of their iphones, or maybe bought a phone that is rendered useless, not reported stolen, not reported as lost, and trust me, people report and check, and these people simply wanted to save some cash, now they are stuck with thousand dollar bricks, even when providing a proof of purchase to Apple, with photo ID, and a police report stating that the phone was bought legally, what does Apple say? Find the original owner and have him contact us or unlock the phone for you or give you his proof of purchase or cc statement? WHAT TYPE OF ANSWER IS THAT COMING FROM ONE OF THE TOP TWENTY CORPORATIONS IN THE WORLD? AND WHAT ARE YOU SO PISSED OFF ABOUT? CREATING THIS BS THREAD INSTEAD OF CONTRIBUTING SOMETHING TO THE COMMUNITY? Get a .... have an .... be happy .... maybe use vibration mode on your phone?
