Hey /g/
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?

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.

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

Have any ideas on how the FBI unlocked the San Bernardino iPhone?
>>54675516
>not using the sheeet edition
>>54673476
>>54673476
>ebay
contact paypal, they always side with the buyer
>>54673476
File a claims with eBay tell them the item doesn't work and the seller is not responding to you.
Why is everyone on /g/ 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.

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
>>54673476
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
