Does Bobika5 support 64bit A8 iOS 9.3.4?

If so, will I be able to activate my hacktivated device? And will I be able to sideload? Because a lot of Reddit comments say it’s supported but I can’t find any evidence at all for it online. Thanks

Not activation lock, but I have an iPod touch 6th gen on iOS 9.3.4 that has an Apple ID that isn’t mine on it. What’re my options?

Device isn’t stolen.
Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post, thanks

iPhone 5c passcode locked

Hi, I have an iPhone 5c that has a passcode lock
I tried using iwannabrute after entering IBSS either legacy kit but despite “saying password should show up on your screen” the display remains off and doesn’t show anything, I don’t know what the issue was caused by. Is there a way to access the plist files on this device and edit the attempts to 9999? Or a way to save the activation tickets and put them back in after restoring? Since this phone has iCloud. It’s on IOS 10. Thank you very much for any help.

A13 SSH ramdisk finally booting on iPhone 11 Pro Max

Small progress update from a project I’ve been messing with.

I finally got a working SSH ramdisk boot on an A13 iPhone 11 Pro Max. The boot chain reaches the ramdisk correctly, the device enumerates over USB, Dropbear comes up and I’m able to get a root SSH shell.

The funny part is that the main issue I was chasing ended up being on the Linux USB/usbmux side rather than the ramdisk boot itself.

I’ve started packaging the working flow into a project I’m calling RamBridge so I can reproduce it cleanly and eventually make the process less painful.

I’m not posting instructions or payloads yet because I’m still testing and cleaning things up, but I wanted to share the milestone.

Verbose boot pic attached because after staring at failed boots for hours, this one felt good 😂

MDM

I've been analyzing some iOS devices that are enrolled in third-party MDM environments (e.g., using custom Root CAs). Surprisingly, when checking these devices on public IMEI/Serial checkers (On/Off, Lost Mode status), they often return a 'Clean' status as if they were retail devices.

iPhone 6 Plus has photos I want to recover — broken screen + forgotten passcode. Any options?

I have an old iPhone 6 Plus that I haven’t used in years, and I’m trying to recover the photos and other data from it.

The phone still powers on, but the **screen/display is completely unusable**. My MacBook recognizes the iPhone when I connect it by USB — I even confirmed that the iPhone appears under the Mac’s USB System Report.

The problem is that my Mac is asking me to **“Trust iPhone”**, but the Trust button is greyed out because the iPhone needs me to confirm the Trust request on the phone. I can’t see or use the screen.

There’s another problem: **I don’t remember the iPhone’s passcode**

I checked iCloud Photos and didn’t find what I was looking for, and I also couldn’t find an existing iPhone backup on my Mac.
I **do NOT want to erase, restore, or reset the iPhone** because the pictures are what I’m trying to recover.

Has anyone been in a similar situation with an old iPhone and successfully recovered their photos/data? Is there any way to access the phone with an adapter, external keyboard, temporary screen replacement, or professional data recovery **without knowing the passcode and without erasing the phone**?

I’m especially interested in hearing from anyone who has actually recovered their photos in a situation like this.

Whats the point in removing setup.app on iOS 10 when you can't sideload anything to it?

title says for it self. I have a 5c on 10.3.3 that has been setup.app removed, the issue is that I am unable to sideload anything. I'm wondering, whats the point in a setup.app removal for 10.3.3 when you can't do basically anything with it?

^(PS: please prove me wrong if there is a actual way of sideloading applications on) ^(setup.app) ^(removed devices on iOS 10.)

Apple Account Secure

hello, I am most definitely sure my boyfriend put all my apple devices as his original iCloud account holder and I cannot get in any of them for the life of me!!! I officially signed out of my iCloud on my iPhone11 and now it won’t allow me to login with the original passcode like wtf I typed in every passcode well the very first original passcode and it won’t log in, then I tried on my iPad device where I also remember the passcode because these are MY DEVICES that I purchased and it wouldn’t work either, I attempted to put forgot passcode and it’s giving me an iCloud that has NEVER been mine which is the same iCloud that I have on my new iPhone17 Pro that we purchased on HIS account so 2 original devices MINE 1 new device on his carrier plan, like wtf do I even do, I tried to restore on apple devices, 3utools but what good is restoring if I don’t have access to MY OWN ICLOUD anymore SOS WHAT DO I DO :(
