What is this bypass?
Bypass of the iCloud Activation Lock on A9, A10 and A11 devices —iPhone 5S to X and iPads of those generations— using the checkm8 hardware exploit. It handles the "Hello" (Activation Lock) screen and, by model, the Passcode.
With or without signal?
- With signal: available on several models (per the tool), keeping calls and data.
- Without signal: the device works except for the mobile-network part.
The tool confirms the mode by model and iOS version (approx. iOS 12 to 18).
Which devices are covered?
iPhone 5S, 6, 6 Plus, 6s, 6s Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus and X, plus A9–A11 iPad.
With which tools?
Depending on the case we work with i-Activator, LPro Max, iRemove Tools, Minacriss (checkm8) and iHello HFZ, for Windows and macOS. Each has its own detail page.
Important conditions
- checkm8 is a permanent A5–A11 exploit; A12 or newer devices are not compatible (they use another method).
- The with/without signal mode depends on the model. No refund for an incorrect order.
