there is a way to delete an icloud account with find my iphone on with the iphone 4 on ios 7.1.2 you need to swipe the find my iphone off while spamming delete account and after both are pressed in you can tab out and the account is gone. there's tutorials on youtube for them and you dont need to download anything (only works if its past the setup)
You should be able to downgrade some iPhone 4’s with De Rebus Antiquis even without blobs. You could use that to downgrade back to iOS 6 (or down to 4.0 if desired)
Hugh should’ve done a comment update on this tech lot. I noticed that he got the iPhone 7 unlocked and it is running iOS 10.2.1. I wonder how he even got it unlocked.
I personally wouldn't have bought a lot like that, seems like hard sell. Surely someone can ask 10$ for a DVD-drive, but will someone actually buy it? Not many people need them and they break so rarely that there is not really any need to replace them. Plus the shipping will cost more than the part is even worth. But good luck selling them!
so hey, Jeffreys, I went to a phone store today and ask them if my phone is fixable or able to recover they said no, but I told them about your videos and he told me " yeah but you know they only do it for view ". I was like that's wrong so then soon after I left
How is “they only do it for views” even a rebuttal though? It doesn’t matter if literally everyone made the repair videos for the only purpose of views, the point is that (unless they’re faking it) they still fixed it!
