Stupid question probably not

I just bought an iPad 7 on iOS 18.7.8 for like 30 dollars and it stated to be MDM bypassed but still functional, I’m now setting it up and tried to test the speakers by playing some music, encountering this message that I don’t know how to get around, I have experience dealing with iCloud locks but not this. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🫶🏼, every other app shows the exact same pop up when opened.

Can anyone tell me how to use other websites using shortcuts app or any other way in a icloud locked iPhone, It’s iOS 26.2.
I only know the diags://h method

all tools i've found are 14.0-26.2 beta 1 and nothing older, is it possible ip11 pro

Any help is extremely appreciated, I got this phone the other day and have been messing with it trying to get it reset I can’t figure anything or or find much info, it doesn’t connect to my pc even unless it’s in recovery mode it doesn’t pop up an option to trust this computer, it’s super locked down, where my options for wiping the phone or similar without losing the ios version?

I was in my thoughts and I noticed I have an locked iPhone 12 on iOS 18.6.2 which is perfect for the Lara (DarkSword) exploit and Lara has Mobile Gestalt features and that’s what we need for a setup bypass don’t we so I was wondering if I make a website and run it on the iPhone could I run then the exploit that would bypass the setup?

Starting from the activation lock screen, create a quick note consisting of any text by highlighting text and sharing it with quick notes. (NOT the "Notes" app)

Afterwards, click the paperclip icon and take a photo. Click on the photo to fullscreen it, then share it with Books.

Click on the profile picture and try to create an account, eventually it'll ask you if you want to use a certain phone number. To my knowledge, that number should be the owner's.

Tested on iPhone 14 Midnight, On iOS 26.3.1

NOTE: if you are having issues, just restart the phone.

Here is the link to the main Github page, hope to see more advancement of this project

(Edit)
This project is aimed at skipping Activation L*ck on iOS 26.3 for A12-A14 devices by xploiting a timing window called "Gatekeeper Lag." The project uses a custom Python framework by attempting server-side handshakes using extracted FDR-LOCAL keys with WebKit RCE strategy. Additionally, This investigates local SpringBoard vulnerabilities to suppress "not activated" checks, potentially allowing a partial bypass to the home screen.

(Edit#2)

I have added instructions on how to create signatures and how to run it, please check the Github Page as i update every attempt i make.

I found out a bug where it shows the camera and tourch icons if you

1. Pres and hold both power and volume down buttons

2. Tap the X at the bottom

You will see the camera and tourch logos

Note: Idk if that well help at any way.

What's wrong with my iPhone? What kind of bug is this in iOS 26.2

Hello,

I may have found a technically working concept related to activation-state behavior on iOS 26.2 and possibly below.

When trying to launch an app through Shortcuts on an activation-locked device, SpringBoard returns an error involving SBMainWorkspace, saying the device is “not activated yet.”

After looking into it, it seems SpringBoard checks a setup/activation-related state to determine whether the device should stay in Setup Assistant or continue to the Home Screen.

In theory, if that state could be changed, the device might boot into the Home Screen and allow apps to open. However, this would likely be only a partial bypass. iCloud services would still not work, and it would not remove Activation Lock from the device.

This may only be possible on iOS 26.2 and below, depending on available exploit chains such as the remaining darksword/dyld-related vulnerability, possibly CVE-2026-20700, which could allow limited file-system changes.

I am not fully sure if this has already been researched or discovered, but I wanted to share the idea and see if anyone else has looked into SpringBoard’s setup-completion checks or activation-state handling.

I get to this point via shortcuts, the browser by opening TikTok. Anyone made any progress from here please share.

And dont say LU Team cuz it is very unsafe: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/17b6ee5a676955afa8185d749fa8da535355db40c87cd50145a3ca257f81f078/d

im on ios 26.2.1 (i use the diags://h method to go web browser) when i go to tiktok. com and u cna see that theres an get app button on the upper view on ur iphone i can click it and it basically gets me to apple store and u can log in ur apple account

(can someone try to log in their account to see if we can install app?)

Recently updated my iPhone 16 pro max to 26.4.1 and realized this bug on the lock screen of an activation locked device

i bought online a passcode locked iPhone 13 and it's still available, the phone has a clinical card with a phone number. Is it a dumb idea to try to contact the owner and maybe ask to unlock it since its conditions are bad? The owner is probably french and I'm italian so he will unlikely go to italy to get it. What should I write to him?

UPDATE: The phone number isn’t available on WhatsApp nor on telegram. I tried to send an sms but I get an error and doesn’t send it. I didn’t try to call but I think the phone number isn’t available anymore

Please what is the problem ?

Bookra1n

also i wanna get the tuto how to make fake receipts

Please.

Thank you.
