Shadrack Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Hello, Wouldnt jailbreaking it and downloading some tool help with this faster? You won't be able to jailbreak it with the "Find my phone" password lock on it. The jailbreak procedure requires you disable that password as one of the first steps.

Dont know the iPhone internally works but would it be possible, using dd, to copy a Apple image to the iPhone thus overwriting everything on the iPhone? Yeah, a brick is possible but...

You are dealing with an anti-theft system that was designed to prevent folks from using stolen iPhones. If it were as trivial as copying an image with some CLI tool, then the anti-theft wouldn't be very good. I'm afraid the only way around it is to find an exploit which will not be so trivial. There is currently an exploit for 7.0.4, look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that can be modified, then doesnt matter how powerful anti-theft system is. A dd can destroy a encrypted drive in seconds. Sure the data is overwritten but then you have a working drive again. This is a similar situation: You dont care about the data on there but you do have to make sure the blocks you are copying are bootable Apple signed bytes that can be used as if the iProduct was from factory :) My question was geared towards that. When you plug in a iProduct into a Linux box, can you see the system files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#Michael Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 There's a much simpler solution. Direct your friend to the video below www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnPk4RRWjic That exploit doesn't apply in this situation as the device was already wiped and cannot be activated until the original apple id is entered. Had the find my iphone been removed before it was wiped then this wouldn't have been an issue. Or had this exploit been used before the wipe then again this wouldn't be an issue. Unless the pawnshop or apple is willing to help then this ipad is basically a really good bookend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted February 19, 2014 MVC Share Posted February 19, 2014 How much is the going rate for an iPad Mini at a Pawn shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAZMINATOR Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 How much is the going rate for an iPad Mini at a Pawn shop? Up to 150 dollars to buy from you then sell more than that to new customer Maybe around 350 to 450. Buy low sell high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL I would never pay that much for one in a pawn shop. I would just save up and buy new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file system is guarded behind Apple's proprietary API. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the pawnshop or apple is willing to help then this ipad is basically a really good bookend. You can't restore aka wipe in the first place if 'Find my iPhone' is on. It has to be switched off, hence my suggestion of using the exploit to do so. Once the iPad mini is wiped, there is no need to activate it.

n_K Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Hello, Thank you for clearing that up :) OP: You are SOL. And not just a propietry API... True, you can mount the filesystem (a path of it storing music and images only) from linux using various tools, but even if you could mount the whole filesystem, unless it's jailbroken, you can't do anything with anything that's signed [as a security precaution and to stop jailbreaks working], so it would be nil anyway.
