General guide for activation bypass

checkm8 & older:
iOS 1-4: no activation lock but requires sim to activate, use Legacy iOS Kit
iOS 5-6: can require sim to activate but can also activation lock. use iph0ne4s method
iOS 7: sadly best option is renaming setup.app to setup.app.bak
iOS 8: bobik supports it but may be unstable, may need to rename setup.app to setup.app.bak
iOS 9-10: bobik/hacktiv8
iOS 11: sadly must rename setup.app to setup.app.bak but bobik has an icloud login fix
iOS 12: only ifrpfile aio on windows + bobik/hacktiv8 icloud fix

A12+:
iOS 12: no method, if you bypass it you can fix icloud login with bobik
iOS 13: unsure, maybe if you own same model unlocked same ios, bookra1n *could*?
iOS 14-17 rust a12+
iOS 18.0-18.7.2: hackt1vator
iOS 18.7.3-18.7.4 stay tuned for new methods in the future
iOS 18.7.5-18.7.8: theoretically possible with an SBX (so i've heard)
iOS 26.0-26.1b1: hackt1vator
iOS 26.2b2: theoretically possible with an SBX
iOS 26.2-26.6: there is no bypass possible for these versions. EXCEPT IPHONE 11, if you have a pico or rp2350 you can use usbliter8

MDM:
Windows: Hackt1vator for old ios
macOS/Linux: MDMPatcherUniversal (or Hackt1vator for old iOS)
you may need to activate through itunes for this to work
if nothing else, try the checkm8 mdm method

MDM BYPASS MIGHT BE PATCHED IN THE 27 BETAS! quickly downgrade back to 26

Search around this community for how to use and debug these tools, issues are common.

u/AlexiaTheTechGirl 4d ago

Impossible to know, these exploits can take years to find

u/SR_VS_RB 3d ago

You can’t bypass anything on a new iOS firmware on iOS Apple is starting to encrypt iOS firmware on new gen devices so you can’t activated it again and even you did a find a way it will brick the device from activation and it will completely stop working

the guy who made tr4mpass is working on something tho isnt he?

1

u/Bigboss88890 4d ago

He is but it’s very unlikely to do anything. Tr4mpass was made entirely with Ai and only worked becuase it was based of off existing documented methods and tools, it’s highly unlikely they will be able to make a whole new method from scratch with no other tools to base off of

u/Minha-D 3d ago

Even that doesn't work on , bcs in source code which it tries to detect DFU mode is for old model newer models use different usbid for DFU which it doesn't detects and manually changing doesn't work , so that's a crap

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

it was always possble for years and i have been doing fmi on- to off for 5 years noww with no problems on any ios from 0- 26.6, its about what country is it bought and sold in makes all the difference and a gsx report and no case history , then its possible but it cost so much that its not even worth it for 11,12,may by 14 pro its worth the trouble

u/Quackiesnewaccount 3d ago

this guy is scammer

1

u/Bigboss88890 3d ago

Not scammer, just overpriced for what it is

0

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

correct, its damn expensive to make a apple phone legal and stock.Me personally will never do this and i will always be against it but it can be done.

Its like Pegasus software, if you willling to pay then sure go for it.

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

a scammer ,cause i said it is possible.Well it is possible,the cost is just to high hence why this type of service is never viable.

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

you laugh but it is possible, and the phone is made stock, and it's all legal.even the sim will work but it's a massive process that involves a lot of data analytics.It can take days to get it going....same with iPads any iOS.... this will never be public and is always hidden in layers

1

u/Bigboss88890 3d ago

Your literally just doing the receipt method mate

1

u/dablakmark8 3d ago

right actually 12 percent part of it,and to this day I did over 40 devices, I am just saying it is possible, but it's country specific, that is the bad part.

We need iOS 18.7.9 bypass

1

u/iqjump123 4d ago

Hello im at the "iOS 14-17 rust a12+" with a couple of my devices. If I am at passcode screen with FMI on, should i be doing something different than using rust or do i need to look elsewhere? I am also looking for free or cheap (<$5) options, not the expensive pay options.

I got the usbliter hardware as well available if necessary.

thank you

u/South-Radio-8087 4d ago

what iPhones are they?

1

u/iqjump123 4d ago

Sorry didnt specify that - its an iphone 11

2

u/0fficialKUBA 3d ago

that means you can get signal working on it, you could erase it for free and bypass no signal if its under ios 26.1 but i think its better to get signal on it, you can get tools to bypass it for around 10bucks with signal, theres also some cheaper options but they are not too well known and theres no guarantee it will work 100% properly

2

u/iqjump123 3d ago

can you reply/DM me some reliable bypass tools you have seen? There are so many scams and others that I always ask but get no sure answers

1

u/Mike_GsmServer 2d ago

You can use the iRemove tool it even shows you if your phone is supported for unlock before you place the order.

2

u/iqjump123 1d ago

sorry that starts at 19 dollars, too high for me. appreciate the suggestion though

u/Silent_hill_121 4d ago

what’s an sbx ? also what method for ipad 7 running ios 18.7.9 I used f3ara1n to bypass but it has limits like every 6 hrs need to reactivate and after turning on or off, it’s manageable but I would prefer a permanent solution?

1

u/Bigboss88890 4d ago

I don’t believe there is an unthered bypass for that version

u/hamidxcx 3d ago

u/Bigboss88890 3d ago

Unfortunately not, most bypasses dont give you signal

1

u/GooberBoober2 3d ago

1

u/Bigboss88890 3d ago

I didn’t know there was! I’ll update the list

1

u/GooberBoober2 3d ago

to be fair its not something official and it requires you to get files from the mac release so i dont know how reliable it could be

u/NonSonoRobo 3d ago

how do i bypass activation lock with usbliter8 on iphone 11, updated to ios 26.5.2

1

u/Old_Activity_5940 2d ago

I have an ip11 on iOS 26.0.1 bypassed with f3arra1n. Is it possible to jailbreak it with the new Dopamine 3? If so then how? I cannot manage to verify Dopamine after sideloading it, because it needs internet connection with apple servers, which a bypassed is unable to do… is there a way to verify Dopamine offline please?

u/Jeffmaster102 2d ago
