Can you fix iCloud lock?

"@deadrats think about your math a bit. From a numerical point you are right""you only pay $130 for a perfectly good iPhone instead of $900"" So now, how can that be? Where would this phone come from? Most likely scenario is that it belonged to somebody who either lost it or it got stolen. Not very many other possibilities, right? So that is the person that pays the $770 that you do not pay. Does that not give you a bad feeling about this whole idea? Let me whisper a few things here ""integrity"" ""honesty"" ""Death before dishonor"".......

Anyhow @jimfixer is right, thus far there is no way to get it unlocked. There are places that can unlock it to the point of being the equivalent of an iPod but that is about it."

'no its not possible'

"@ topic starter,

if it was that easy no one will sell it for $100,- and they will do the cheap unlock themself, they sell it so cheap becauze you got scamed for that $30,- that unlock cost."

Apple states they will unlock phones if there is a clear chain of ownership from the person who locked the phone to begin with. Customer service reps will back this up but the unlocking department won't unlock it even if you have a verified chain of ownership paperwork. After a few months of trying a Apple rep explained that any phone purchased through ebay won't be unlocked as a matter of "unwritten" policy even if the chain of ownership is clear and the ESN is clean.

"I think can only be done by hardware methods...the chip that stores the code has to be unsoldered and cleaned and put into a special reader writer programmer that will remove the password flag without requiring the code....the solder points on the logic board also have to be cleaned and then it has to be resoldered....time consuming and complex....these people who offer unlocking services are doing a soft software alteration that gives you access to part files of the phones capability but not full functionality.

Apple should offer this to people who have phones that they inherited from relatives who gave passed on etc...but let's face it Apple are only interested in milking everyone dry.....whilst retaining customer loyalty....from customers...not providing service and loyalty to their consumer base will cost them in the long run....Android users have already realised this."
