if it's already on the OS you put a compatible sim card in it and try to get siri working and say like "call dad or mom" then get contact to the original owner and state your business and then they'll probably want it off there and then step to step them to go settings click on the icloud thing on the top where it says there name and then scroll until they see the device and they hit delete from my icloud. If it's in the setup process you have very little to go off.
hey man, could you explain the proof of purchase part? i bought an iphone off this kid and it's icloud locked and the kid refuses to unlock it. i might just request a refund but if i could get it unlocked, its a steal.
-sri- i recommend you to use the scam of the "returning" that is used online, so he can get nothing from that iphone or the money. You dont know this scam ? Simple check around on the web, the returning item scam. Np
If you downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 via ipsw when you go to the software update page in settings you will get an update for 8.4.1 it worked on my 8GB Verizon iPhone 4s
Hi Hugh! i'm a huge fan of your videos. i recently started restoring phones (around january) and my mom's old phone was water damaged and the backlight doesn't work well on the display. I am wondering if replacing the display will fix the problem. by the way, your videos have given me all of the knowledge that i have in regards to restoring devices. they are a huge help! thank you!
Great video dude! Wondering where you buy your screens from? Looking to replace the screen on my iPhone 6s plus and wanting a genuine screen (or as close to it)
Hey Hugh love your vids. I need your help, I bought an iPad mini 1 off of ebay marked as 'needs battery' but I'm afraid it's a bad dock connector because the iPad doesn't recognize that it's charging, it only shows the connect charger logo and when I connect it to windows it says 'USB device not recognized', even with the battery disconnected. You think a bad battery can cause this behavior? I opened it and noticed that it has never opened before since it has an original apple digitzer and glue.
Hugh Jeffreys that’s what I feared, that damn connector is soldered to the logic board. I think I’m gonna sell its parts because they’re in good condition and the ipad only cost me $20 😅
1. Don't get scammed 2. Learn what scams look like 3. Buy used if possible 4. Make sure it's not ICloud Locked because it takes $150+ for services that don't work 5. iPhones cost $100+ unless you're looking for a 4S-3G. 6. Know what you're doing.
Dont buy the iPhone 6 plus they have alot of problems and go for the 6s or 6s plus if you are looking for something cheaper.... and if you want something better get iphone 8 not the 7
I replaced the battery in my iPhone 6S...didn‘t install adhesive for the screen, just for the battery...works perfectly fine as my daily driver except it gets a little dusty inside
Checkra1n :) Nah, proof of purchase. But please use checkra1n to bypass Apple's sorry excuse for anti-theft. Checkra.in (look up tutorials for bypass - MacBook required
How do you downgrade an older iPad or iPhone device to iOS 6? I want to do this to my iPad mini 1st gen because it was very slow with iOS 9.3.5 and I wanted to revert. ✌️mate!
Hey I have a iPhone 5s which was having signal drop problem I have been secured to the all the settings all are good but the signal is getting cropped and calls are not connecting could you make any solution for that
Your videos are amazing.. KEEP IT UP! btw i have an iphone 5s that doesn't work but the screen is working fine... but I think the problem is within... can you help me? or gimme any suggestion? Thanks Bro!!!
I want to start repairing iphones, can anyone give me advices and from where to learn all that stuff? Which model should i first try and what condition?
mattfishing15 yes you need to repair or replace wifi IC which you need to have microsoldering skills and wifi Chip programmes which is about 600 to 1000 dollars.
I was also downgrading my mom’s 4s to iOS 6 since Apple is still signing it however Im stuck with Waiting for iPhone in iTunes. Mind if you be able to help me?
Hi 🙂 my volume switch is not working 😔 Touch ID is not working too but in my country there is no apple store 😭 and my camera is broke too it got black and purple dots everywhere in pictures 😢 can you help me with that 😇
Hey Hugh, I’ve posted on a previous video and I’m a massive fan of yours. I have an iPhone 6s Plus and the home button and Touch ID has completely lost functionality. I’m not sure what he problem here could be but a reply of what you think would be appreciated! Thanks
My guess is the cable has ripped, this happened on my old 5s. The adhesive came loose and allowed the home button to rotate and over time it ripped. (Happened before i owned the phone) So when i was giving it i had to replace the button. But you can never restore touch ID unless Apple replaces it because its programmed to work with your iPhone. If the screen had been replaced the button might not of had an adhesive left when it was reinstated so again allowing it to rotate.
Hugh Jeffreys yeah my home button seemed to rotate before and then it stopped working. The problem with having apple re pair my Touch ID is the fact that I live in England so there aren’t any apple stores near me. I have asked in a few phone repair stores but they have said a hardware problem. Maybe I’ll try the screen repair with a new home button since my screen is cracked. Also, sorry to be annoying but have you ever heared of a lagging camera? My camera lags when I try to take a photo. Thanks Hugh!
3rd party repair shops can't reprogram Touch ID only Apple which sucks and they will only do it if you pay for a screen replacement. As for a lagging camera, i have never seen or heard of it. It could be the camera or possibly a board level issue. Honestly i have no idea. But if you have to replace the LCD anyway i would try a new camera as its easy to install and if they doesn't fix it. Its board level.
Hugh Jeffreys yeah unfortunately 3rd party repair shops don’t reprogram Touch ID but I’ve been quoted a price for the home button repair which I may get done but of course Touch ID won’t function but it doesn’t function at this stage either. The camera functions fine at normal light levels but in lower light levels it sometimes won’t take a picture. I am hopefully getting an iPhone 7 Plus soon so it may or may not be worth paying for the replacements for my phone. Just a question also, what supplier do you get your iPhone battery’s from? I am in need of a new battery for this phone since it doesn’t even last me half the day so it would be good to get a new one. Since I’ve watched all of your repair videos I know how to repair an iPhone so a supplier like would be appreciated! Thanks
I was trying to get off my cousins iCloud off of my old 5s that i let her use. She doesn’t remember the password nor her old email doesn’t work no more so I am trying to figure how to take off the iCloud at restoring it back to iOS 7. I am wondering if you can help me with that.
Your refurbishing videos are oddly satisfying! Giving life to classic iPhones is awesome!
I love this channel so much can’t stop watching

Omar Castillo try to repair it bro , to gain experience
You really have an amazing talent! Your so good at fixing tech!
Hey Hugh! Do you have any tips for getting good deals on iPhones?
1. Don't get scammed
2. Learn what scams look like
3. Buy used if possible
4. Make sure it's not ICloud Locked because it takes $150+ for services that don't work
5. iPhones cost $100+ unless you're looking for a 4S-3G.
6. Know what you're doing.
Dont buy the iPhone 6 plus they have alot of problems and go for the 6s or 6s plus if you are looking for something cheaper.... and if you want something better get iphone 8 not the 7
176cgna tbh used iphone 7’s tend to fail more than used 6’s (motherboard issues)
Omar Castillo yeah that's why I said not the 7
For this iphone 4s. How about you put that purple screen and back on it. Or is that only for the iphone 4
I replaced the battery in my iPhone 6S...didn‘t install adhesive for the screen, just for the battery...works perfectly fine as my daily driver except it gets a little dusty inside
Bro why is your videos so perfect😍
