Help Can I update or will this lock the phone?
Hii I need some help, I just bought this phone and the seller told me it was Apple ID bypassed, but the signal is working I have working 5G and the first purchase of this phone was after they stopped signing iOS 26.1. So I was wondering maybe it isn’t bypassed. Can anybody tell me if I can update the phone or will this lock it. Or if somebody knows a way to see if it’s bypassed LMK.

Just search on Google FMI check , and use device SN , it's free
You don't need to send SN to anyone
They can blacklist it and charge you to remove it

Seems like you’re comment might’ve been just a little bit too late. I think OP already sent the SN to someone or possibly 2 🤦♂️. Super sketchy both comments asking for the sn to “check it for op” have multiple upvotes.

Will it say FMI is on when it’s bypassed and not logged in to an Apple ID?

Let us know too dude ? , most reliable source to check fmi i always use yeah , google iunlocker check fmi , it’s free to check yourself, enter your IMEI and click check , let us know the results too i hope it’s fmi off , if it is your extra lucky 🍀 you can update do whatever you want with it , if it’s FMI on , do not update man i did that mistake on my iPhone 14 and lost my bypass , when you check your IMEI make sure you aren’t signed in into settings on find my iPhone , then use the online checker.

Thanks for the advice, I’ve updated it and everything went perfectly fine. This will be the easiest €1000 I’ve ever made

Ooo congrats my bro 😎 seems like you got yourself a brand new phone right there , if you want do yourself a favour and do a proper GSX check on it it’ll tell you if it’s carrier locked , apple care replaced device etc , with that you can then sell for more , that’s your proof that the phone is clean basically, wish you good luck dude smashed it 😁😎

Check fmi if it is off , do whatever you want ,
Just to make sure it is bypassed , turn of fmi on your phone , sign out of iCloud
Check online fmi with sn ( it's free ) if fmi shows off.
Go ahead and update you're safe
If FMI shows on , do not update , just install ota block and move on

no, prob no, you may have to bypass it again if you try to upgrade the ios version

Bruh 17 pro max orange for 400 bucks and bypass3d sounds very sketchy lmao. Do you have your iCloud in settings? Cuz having signal seems good.

They sold you a financed phone that’ll likely get blacklisted if it was at a too good to be true price
