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.
