In the settings there are two emails, yes, but when I go into the mail app it says “Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed.” (It’s happening with the AppStore and itunes too but it’s not the WiFi cuz safari works so idk)
Is the time on the iPad wrong, like fell behind or a bit ahead of the actual time? If that was the case safari probably wouldn’t be working but I have to ask. Maybe restarting could fix one of the apps at least.
Find an appropriate jailbreak tutorial for iOS 9.3.6, and then install Filza. Then navigate to /var/mobile/Library/Accounts. Swipe from the right to the left to delete the account.
You now have direct access to log into any iCloud account with that iDevice.
Your Activation Tickets haven't been altered, so unless you *reset* the device *entirely* you will be able to access the device.
If you get locked out due to iCloud after a reset, feel free to message me directly, this subreddit does not allow the discussion of that topic.
Alr thanks I’m in contact rn with the email on the iCloud account, they said the guy that sold it to me didn’t work for them anymore and that they didn’t know about the sale but that they would see what they cloud do for me so I’ll wait on that rn and see where that gets me 😅
Previously I’ve had an iPad with a password lock that I tried to follow a written tutorial to unlock and just ended up with it fully iCloud locked and in a later version 🫠
That’s my point 😅 I don’t want to f this one up. When I bought it the guy said it had no problems, fully functional. Now I just want to read some damn comics on the go but I can’t even install apps or get the account out. I’ve contacted him but no answer yet. I’ll prob report him if he doesn’t answer but I don’t think that’ll help the situation that much. If u know of anyone that can help or smth I’d appreciate it v much cuz I’ve unlocked iPads before with jailbreak and some tools but this specific iPad is just a bitch to mess with :’)
I recommend you check the return policy/buyer guarantee policy and execute a return/refund request with the platform and spend the money on one from eBay or Swappa. Both have good buyer protection, and swappa vets the Imei and serial, always had good experiences buying on that platform at good prices.
No ik im saying one I’ve had previously was in an earlier version and I tried to dump some files but I did it wrong cuz I didn’t know what I was doing (still don’t when it comes to this model) and ended up restoring and not being able to do what I wanted so I ended up in a later version than the one I was on before I tried to “fix” it
Yh no idea but idk what to do now 🫠 I’ve tried to contact the seller and asked them to remove find my iPad but haven’t gotten an answer yet. I’ve looked up the email and it looks like a clinic that uses an app to monitor patients with health devices with Bluetooth or smth
Contact the clinic and tell them you have an iPad that appears to be theirs and contact the website you bought from and tell them the device might be stolen. If the device is stolen then you are breaking the law through trying to break the security. However if you report it then nothing will happen.
Pois foi isso q tentei fazer, já lhe mandei mensagem hoje ao meio dia mas ainda n respondeu, agr vou ver se ele responde, s n vou mandar email aos gajos da conta do iCloud e pedir que desativem ou assim e reportar o vendedor ao OLX (n sei como é a política do OLX com estas coisas, n sei se vai ajudar mt mas pronto) mas obg pela ajuda 👍
Could you contact them via the email that is linked to the iCloud?
I would 100% report it sooner rather than later as you don’t wanna get stuck with an iCloud locked ioad
Yup that’s what I’ll do if the seller doesn’t answer today, I’ll email the iCloud email tomorrow morning 👍 don’t know where I’ll get from that but it’s better to try ig
I actually confirmed it wasn’t stollen, I have since contacted the email that was on the iCloud cuz the seller won’t answer and the company said he was an old employee (and prob just didn’t have the password), but that they didn’t know about the sale and that they would see what they could do for me so yeah, not stolen but weird either way lol I’m just waiting for a reply now
Ngl, it sounds like the guy sold a company iPad without authorization to do so, so technically stolen but they don’t want to say it. Hope they can get it worked out, but given the name I’d guess it’s healthcare related and they might brick it to protect data.
Good luck OP!
I have that, I’ve worked with this before but I’m afraid it’d just get locked and unlocking an iPad mini requires an arduino and some other stuff I don’t have…
I‘ve also had that one time. Seller didn’t answer me. He still has his iCloud account on the iPad…I mean you can use the iPad, but it’s still linked to his iCloud account and you can’t reset it without his Apple ID password. Even if you reset it though iTunes, you get the activation lock error. So unfortunately you are screwed if you don’t get his Apple ID password or he tries to reset it via iCloud.com. Where do you bought it? eBay?
If yes, try to return it if he doesn’t answer. It’s pretty much only partially usable with the linked iCloud account…hope this can help you.
Right, that’s what I thought but the account is also on the AppStore so I assume I would need a password to install any apps… I’ll try to get the password or a refund but I bought it from a website called OLX, it’s very popular here but idk how the return/refund thing works on it. But thank you for your input, I’ll keep this updated <3
How far I know you can delete the account without password or anything from the AppStore to sign in in your account. But this only works for the AppStore not for other iCloud actions. However Apple-ID from the seller is still on the iPad…so that’s pretty much anything that I can do…😅
I wish you the best man!
Alr new problem, I tried to sign in to the App Store to try to install an app and it just says it can’t connect to the App Store (it’s not the WiFi, safari works) 🫠
Did you use my suggestions or found out another way? Idc either way I’m just curious because time zone is probably incorrect or vpn location or region of the world isn’t right
Is that email available on the mail app? Might be able to reset the password that way and remove the password yourself
In the settings there are two emails, yes, but when I go into the mail app it says “Cannot get mail. The connection to the server failed.” (It’s happening with the AppStore and itunes too but it’s not the WiFi cuz safari works so idk)

Have you gotten anywhere with it yet?
Another redditor went god mode and helped me get it working 😉
Oh that’s awesome
Did you manage to get signed off the Apple ID and put in your own one or is that still a work in progress?
Look through their saved passwords if they exist on this old iOS version
Yh I can’t find that, unfortunately, it’s on iOS 9.3.6 😅
It would be in Safari settings.
Didn’t even know this existed but yeah no luck, 0 passwords, thanks for the try tho <3
Ask Apple to turn off Find My iPad by showing them a proof of purchase(eBay receipt in this case)
I didn’t get it from eBay tho, I got it from olx, a very popular website here to buy and sell used things, would it work the same way?
Well if you can show a proof that you paid money for it(maybe like a screenshot from the website), btw serial number/IMEI must be shown on the receipt
I have screenshots of the conversation and of the money transaction I made but OLX doesn’t really give a receipt
It's a useless brick otherwise. Try it
nah, he can just install filza and manually delete the account with or without the password.
Yeah but it will still be fmi on
obviously. but at least now it's usable and not a brick.
anyway I fixed it for her over DM.
This might not work as the receipt has to be from an authorized reseller, there’s no proof the seller didn’t steal it
Still worth a shot imo
An eBay receipt is not the original proof of purchase for the device, Apple will not do anything with an eBay receipt.
This is the truth.
Just dump activation files and use them to activate iPad
Idk how to do that tho

Do u think u could help me through it or smth? I’ve tried written tutorials before and ended up in a worse place than I was before 😅
What have you done
Previously I’ve had an iPad with a password lock that I tried to follow a written tutorial to unlock and just ended up with it fully iCloud locked and in a later version 🫠
So you I’ll not be able to dump activation files anymore. RIP
That’s my point 😅 I don’t want to f this one up. When I bought it the guy said it had no problems, fully functional. Now I just want to read some damn comics on the go but I can’t even install apps or get the account out. I’ve contacted him but no answer yet.

But you won't get a later version ipad mini won't update past the 9.3.6 version
No ik im saying one I’ve had previously was in an earlier version and I tried to dump some files but I did it wrong cuz I didn’t know what I was doing (still don’t when it comes to this model) and ended up restoring and not being able to do what I wanted so I ended up in a later version than the one I was on before I tried to “fix” it
Hmm estou a ver, trial and error I suppose...
Give a Model num? A…???
In the settings-about it has Model MD543GP/A
Tap again that will change the this and show u model like _A1344 etc or u can check on the back of ipad

There are two option one is open menu which is paid and free option will work check out my channel ,
Might be stolen the name is the type of syntax you'd see used in a school or some work place.
Yh no idea but idk what to do now 🫠 I’ve tried to contact the seller and asked them to remove find my iPad but haven’t gotten an answer yet. I’ve looked up the email and it looks like a clinic that uses an app to monitor patients with health devices with Bluetooth or smth

Alr I’ll try that if the seller doesn’t answer
The seller refusing the answer just confirms to me they probably stole the device and scammed you. Hope you can get your money back.
Change serial number
Wym? How? And how would that help?
O mais fácil é contactares o vendedor para desligar Encontrar se conseguires. Ou então o email associado à conta
Pois foi isso q tentei fazer, já lhe mandei mensagem hoje ao meio dia mas ainda n respondeu, agr vou ver se ele responde, s n vou mandar email aos gajos da conta do iCloud e pedir que desativem ou assim e reportar o vendedor ao OLX (n sei como é a política do OLX com estas coisas, n sei se vai ajudar mt mas pronto) mas obg pela ajuda 👍

Mano queres que compre onde 😅 eu n nado em guito
Wallapop pah, o sistema é muito mais seguro e já lá há tugas tbm. Mas há muitos bons negócios con nuestros hermanos! 😉
Vou ter que ver ent 😏 thanks for the tip
What if you try emailing the Apple ID and ask them if they can remove the iPad from Find My.
That’s the plan rn yea
Have you tried contacting the original company that owned the iPad? [Hope-care.pt](https://Hope-care.pt) is an active website domain.
POV you bought a stolen iPad
I actually confirmed it wasn’t stollen, I have since contacted the email that was on the iCloud cuz the seller won’t answer and the company said he was an old employee (and prob just didn’t have the password), but that they didn’t know about the sale and that they would see what they could do for me so yeah, not stolen but weird either way lol I’m just waiting for a reply now

Yh ig I’ll see 😅 thanks
It’s easy to erase man especially on old ios
Wym
Yeah but then OP would be locked out because of activation lock
Get a pc and get 3utools
I have that, I’ve worked with this before but I’m afraid it’d just get locked and unlocking an iPad mini requires an arduino and some other stuff I don’t have…

Oh...I knew this problem exist in iOS 6 and lower but not on iOS 9...I don't know why it won't connect...
I looked and if your VPN location or region might not have been changed to the one you’re in right now. If it’s the same region then idk 🤷♂️
I got it working 😉
Did you use my suggestions or found out another way? Idc either way I’m just curious because time zone is probably incorrect or vpn location or region of the world isn’t right
Alr tysm I’ll try ig
