Users of the sixth version of iPhone sometimes have to deal with the problem of blocking their gadget. Prices for Apple devices have always been high and some people buy them on the black market at a lower price. Such devices almost always require unlocking. But it happens that a new gadget purchased from certified suppliers may become blocked. What to do in each individual case, and how to unlock the iPhone 6, is discussed in detail in this article.
One of the most common problems occurs when a user has forgotten the password on the iPhone 6. We are talking about a menu password that includes 4 digits. Often, if you forgot your password, the owner of the sixth iPhone model tries to find the right combination of numbers. The device provides only 6 attempts to find the desired combination, after which you don’t have to try to unlock the device this way.
What can be done in such a situation, and what can be done to return the smartphone to working condition? The first solution will be offered by the gadget itself, namely, connecting to iTunes. The iTunes application is probably familiar to every owner of an Apple gadget. This utility is multifunctional and helps out in many situations.
iPhone model version 6, how can you bring a locked device back to life using iTunes, steps:
- Using a USB cable, connect your phone to your PC or laptop.
- Turn off the phone.
- Switch to DFU mode by long pressing the “Power” and “Home” buttons.
- Then press and hold down only one button - “Home” until a message appears on the display indicating that the device is in recovery mode.
- Give your consent to the action by choosing one of the 2 solutions proposed by the program - recovery with basic settings and loss of all information or from a saved copy.
The second way to unlock an iPhone 6s or a simple six involves resetting the password using iCloud. In this way, you can block a gadget through the Find service. This method can also be effective, but problems often arise when using it. So, if the user cannot identify himself in the Apple system (forgot passwords, etc.), unlocking the iPhone 6s will become extremely difficult or simply impossible. He will have to prove that he is the owner of the gadget he has.
Finally, the third and most daring way to restore your iPhone if it is locked. But having decided to put it into practice, the user should know that all device data will be erased, and the phone’s memory will appear before him in its original form, as it was in the factory settings.
To use the radical method of unlocking your iPhone, you need to:
- Connect the device to WiFi or provide global network access via a cell.
- From another gadget, which must be functional and, of course, unlocked, log into iCloud in the search section.
- Wait for iCloud to find all available devices. Select your device icon and click “Erase” in the right window.
To confirm the transaction, the user will need to enter their Apple ID number. After this, the display will go dark and the device will begin unlocking. After this, the iPhone found by the iCloud system and selected by the user will be restored and completely reset to factory settings.
Important! After the procedure, the data is not erased permanently. Information is partially stored in iCloud. This is usually data such as contacts, messages, mail, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that every owner make a backup copy of the data stored on the iPhone at least once a month.
Block activation of iPhone 6 PLUS and other devices
This type of blocking is also common. As a rule, this is done through iCloud. Its essence is that with every change in the iPhone (when the gadget search function is erased or turned off, etc.), the owner of the device must enter the password and ID into Apple. This way the device is protected by the system from hacking and information theft.
To be calm about the data stored on the device, it is better to never disable this function. It’s better to spend a little time on the tedious procedure of entering a password than to later not be able to find a stolen or lost gadget.
It happens that the person selling a used phone does not specifically disable the search function, so that later he can report the honest buyer as a thief who stole his smartphone. Therefore, when buying a phone second-hand, you need to remember to ask the previous owner to disable this option in front of you. Disabling search will secure your purchase and will not require you to unlock the device in the future.
If you forgot your ID - Apple
Having forgotten the identification number and password, the user again faces the task of how to gain access to the gadget’s functions, which he cannot use in this situation.
You can find out your ID in iCloud airplane mode or by removing the SIM card from the device when turning on the cloud service.
Password recovery can be achieved through the mailbox address through which the device was once registered. Apple usually restores access, but sometimes the user is denied if the company suspects him of fraud.
Another option for password recovery is to send a request letter to the official e-mail of the manufacturer. Often the company provides support in difficult situations, but they may also ask for a lot of information - a copy of the receipt for the purchase of the device; numbers of those to whom the user made calls more often than others; a list of recent application purchases for your device, etc. They will also be required to present the packaging, which must remain intact and intact. Therefore, never throw away the packaging after purchasing an iPhone.
How to hack iPhone 6
Sometimes a user deliberately decides to buy a locked device, doing this because of the opportunity to save some money. Of course, after purchasing such a device, you will need to unlock it, which will be more like hacking.
The most common ways to unlock an iPhone six:
1 Waiting for contract completion (about 2 years). Although, it depends on how much time has passed since activation. Afterwards, the gadget can be easily unlocked via iTunes. But rarely does anyone agree to wait that long, because the iPhone was purchased for active use. 2 Contact with technical support of the mobile operator. This is usually AT&T in the US. Most likely, the company will ask the user to provide some information - for example, the date of the contract, etc. The answer to this is that the contract was lost, and the user does not remember this date. In some cases, the operator meets halfway and helps in unlocking the gadget. Especially if the IMEI is known, the situation ends happily. By email, the company sends all the necessary information to restore the device.
