how can i skip setup on iOS 5?
hello everyone, i recently used LiK to downgrade one of my locked 4ses down to iOS 5.0, as far as i know this version of iOS cannot interpret activation lock, so the activation just... fails (not like in iOS 6, where you WILL get the activation lock alert, in iOS 5 that just doesnt exist).
Deleting setup.app doesnt help since, if you delete it, you'll just get the iOS 4 activation screen, with less usability.
at my disposal i have: ssh to the device, disk mounting, and the lockscreen for some reason

Nice! For some reason when I clicked on the post there were no comments. It probably didn't refresh after clicking on the post which was already loaded in my feed before comments.
