Not that I'm aware of, your going to need the password.

So if i try to put a jailbroken firmware like evasion or redsnow or one of those, what is it going to happen?
I would love to have it working at least for music...

My distant relative passed away so there is no way to get any data from iCloud, can i go to a Apple Store and ask them to unlock it? i mean... i'm in Uruguay, No veo como solucionarlo

It for security, designed to be secure. Going to Apple store, I don't think will be much help. As far as JB, I don't do.so I can't say for sure, but doubt it.

I guess that if i jailbreak it, it would be like installing a custom rom on android, erasing all info about the lastest OS, including iCloud data, or if i delete the iCloud from the Rom, it would not install because there would be no setup file...

Maybe someday a fix will come

Find my iPhone is there for a reason. Sorry to hear about your loss.
Nothing you can do unless you can remove that phone from the find my iPhone from iCloud.

There is nothing to fix.

The "fix" is to not possess a phone registered with find my iPhone on somebody else's iCloud account.
No matter what the circumstances are.

iOS 7 - The device will ask for the Apple ID
iOS 6 or lower - iTunes will ask for the Apple ID before it is activated.

And if i use an older iTunes?, i think i read something on the internet about another version of iTunes...something older, for example, if i use the iTunes that came out for the iPhone 4.

That deserves a try i guess

Bro.
Sometimes people keep searching for an answer because they don't like the one that have.

This is you currently.

Your question.
Can I bypass find my iPhone?
The answer.
No.

Thread closed.

Also, what's the deal with iCloud anyway... You got the phone legitimately? is it pass code locked and you can't get into the device, so you're trying to restore? Because if you just want to use it, you don't need to remove iCloud?
Ya know?
If I were to stop pretending to be nice and concerned and be the normal jerkwad that everyone at imore knows me to be, I'd say you didn't get this device in the manner in which you say, and that you are trying to get our help in some nefarious plan.

Hey guys,

I have an iphone 4 with the lastest update (7.0.6?) and i cannot get the icloud account (someone from USA gave me the phone and he is no more . )
I would like to know if there is a way to bypass the iCloud protection or to downgrade to a simpler version, like iOS 5 or 6...

I don't care if it's jailbroken or the stock version, i had the iPhone 3G with sn0wbreeze a while ago, then i changed to android and started rooting,installing custom roms, kernels and more... so i have some experience and would like to know if i can get any tool to make it work .

Can i at least turn it into an iPod?

I dont have the iCloud credentials, he never gave me the info.

I'm from Uruguay and i don't know which company they had, i think it's free

And if i use an older iTunes?, i think i read something on the internet about another version of iTunes...something older, for example, if i use the iTunes that came out for the iPhone 4.

That deserves a try i guess

As has been said, there is *no* fix, as this is exactly how it's supposed to work. This prevents someone from stealing another person's device and being able to use it. There is some weird method if you can call and send Apple a death certificate, but it doesn't always work. The Jailbreaks could technically work around this I think, but they don't for the exact reasons we have all said. If they worked despite how your phone is working, they'd be promoting theft.

Look at it this way, as you got yours legit, you can at the very least try the Death Certificate route (I think they need a bunch of other stuff too though to verify). Someone who stole a device has no route to get it working.

tl,dr; There is absolutely nothing you can do. At all (apart from calling Apple). There is no "fix" as the issue you are having *is* the fix for theft.

iOS 7 - The device will ask for the Apple ID
iOS 6 or lower - iTunes will ask for the Apple ID before it is activated.

Actually, iOS 6 or lower lets you restore it as new from DFU mode. But, before leomachado666 asks, there is absolutely no way to downgrade to iOS 6 from with this issue on it, as *no* *one* will help you do that as would then be helping someone else who may have stolen a device, unlike you getting the device from someone who passed unfortunately.

I actually had the iOS 7 beta and I tried downgrading to iOS 6 using DFU mode. iTunes asked from my Apple ID once it was done restoring and it wouldn't activate until I entered my Apple ID.

Edited: read the OP post again, there is no carrier called free in the US

Jailbreaking the device is NOT the same as installing a custom rom on android. As it's already been said, nothing u can do. It's a paperweight until u have it remove from the iCloud acct or remember the password.

 

[leomachado666]

I can't go to USA for a death certificate

Well, thanks guys, you can close the thread
