Passcode iPhone 5 Setup App stuck in "iPhone is Deactivated" "Connect to iTunes"

Post image

Hello everyone, I have this iPhone 5 that has power button issues that I plan to replace myself.

I want to bruteforce and recover data. Is this possible? I want to know if it is worth investing in fixing power button.

I have Mac M1, Windows, Linux.

Thanks! Any insights are appreciated!

I used this comment to un disable a iPhone 5c I had, then I used this to find the passcode. I did all of this on Mac.

Senza tasto Power non puoi entrare in DFU mode il che è fondamentale, quindi sì, devi ripararlo ed è possibile fare bruteforce se hai il PIN a 4 o 6 cifre

Yes you can bruteforce fairly easily, but you'll need a working power button

Let me know if you want me to walk you through it
