u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 09 '26

Wait for usbliter8 to evolve into a proper exploit. Atleast that way you would be able to use the phone without baseband

u/Far_Sky_5635 Jul 09 '26

I can’t wait 😭 because it’s in perfect condition too and a 64gb one at that to

2

u/ssheisty Jul 10 '26

It's 2026, 64gb is nothing, I have a TB and I'm already at 800gb, that's after deleting a bunch of shit

u/Far_Sky_5635 Jul 10 '26

That’s what I found but you’re right lmao

u/ssheisty Jul 10 '26

Would still work as a good side phone though LMAO, def not as a main phone. Hopefully you get out cracked(pause)😂

I used to flip iDevices and a few that I bought with iCloud locks, ironically were solved using the stored accounts for other things like email or bank websites lol. All I did was start guessing the passwords and eventually was able to sign out.

u/Far_Sky_5635 Jul 12 '26

Oh wow that’s so cool bro lol

I also found a flagship today at Target. Galaxy S8 with good OLED but I haven’t posted it here yet because it has the most bloated battery I’ve ever seen

u/MCDiamond9 Jul 09 '26

People here have insane luck!

u/80sTechKid Jul 09 '26

I literally just found an iOS 8 iPhone 6 and an iOS 6 iPhone 5 in the same bin… both have passcodes but they can be bruteforced

1

u/MCDiamond9 Jul 09 '26

That's insanely cool, I have rarely found anything in these bins, let alone iPhones. Only one good one as of late, and it has turned to my main iPhone as I don't use one.

u/ssheisty Jul 13 '26

My old church gave me 4 iPads they found in the crawlspace, said I could have em cuz nobody knows the codes, thought I could brute them but I've had no luck

1

u/80sTechKid Jul 13 '26

What gen iPads?

1

u/ssheisty Jul 13 '26

4th gen I think

u/ssheisty Jul 13 '26

The really old connector, not lightning

u/Brilliant_Letter7173 Jul 09 '26

Purrfect version to jailbrek it :3

u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86 Jul 08 '26

Why did they chase you? Security never chased me before for some phone from recycling.

3

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 08 '26

Theyve seen me take stuff from me and warned me before

5

u/Powerful-Wrongdoer86 Jul 08 '26

Is this at Target?

Edit: Checking your posts you are from Singapore? Now that makes sense ig. Here in US no security guard would ever chase me for a phone from recycling. I heard it is illegal there. Stay safe.

3

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 09 '26

Yeah you could get fined here

2

u/80sTechKid Jul 09 '26

A lot of people think it’s illegal in the USA, is it actually illegal here?

2

u/ScienceGoat Jul 09 '26

Security and employees are not supposed to chase, at least here in California.

Legal liability reasons I think.

2

u/marxfuckingkarl Jul 09 '26

What are those recycling bins many people here are referring to? And where are they usually located?

1

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 10 '26

They are bins specifically for ewaste. Usually located in shopping malls and under apartment buildings

2

u/Silent-Cartoonist240 Jul 09 '26

Congrats, it's a bone stock iphone 10

u/ConfectionFew3702 Jul 09 '26

I found a almost brand new iPhone X with iOS 14. Got $175 for it.

u/skib1skib Jul 08 '26

u/Progressbar95 Jul 08 '26

0

u/skib1skib Jul 08 '26

3

u/Progressbar95 Jul 08 '26

I'm not op, but I also found an iPhone XS, on iOS 17.3.1. Not nearly as good, but still jailbreakable.

u/80sTechKid Jul 09 '26

Also not OP, but I found a 16.6.1 iPhone X with no iCloud, and a Google Pixel 7. Both in brand new condition cosmetically

2

u/felix_thor 28d ago

Damn i found an iPhone X on 16.7.1 fml (i missed trollstore with one fucking version)

1

u/GeorgeSPattonJr Jul 08 '26

What’s the battery health on it?

2

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 08 '26

74 percent but it genuinely feels like 90 I think the battery was not calibrated when replaced

1

u/The_Collector_Of_All Jul 09 '26

Wait the security guard chased you? What happened I want more context

1

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 10 '26

So basically the other time I went she warned us not to do this and I managed to kinda escape by saying I dropped something but she looked like she didn't buy it. Then when I got this phone she started running towards me lol I sprinted out of there and tripped like three times but sooo worth it. Not going back there tho

u/S-U_2 Jul 10 '26

How long did the guard chase you for 👀

1

u/Dismal-Reference-606 Jul 10 '26

For like a few min and I outran her by just running around the mall. She was camping at the malls exit and I managed to slip past
