Remove iCloud from Apple Watch with HFZ (Series 1 to Ultra)

What is this service?

It removes the iCloud Activation Lock (Find My Apple Watch) from a locked Apple Watch —reported, previous-owner or "Locked to Owner"— with the HFZ tools using the ramdisk method. There are modes depending on the watch generation.

Modes by series

• Series 1, 2 and 3 — FMI OFF (removal): with HFZ FMI OFF v2.4 you get a 100% FMI OFF. Covers all statuses (clean, lost, blacklist, demo). GPS only (no LTE) models, 38 mm and 42 mm. It removes the old account and assigns a new Series KEY; afterwards you must restore or reset the watch to leave it like new.
• Series 4, 5 and SE — Ramdisk (Hello, passcode and owner info): bypass of the "Hello" screen, Passcode bypass keeping signal and owner information extraction. Supports up to watchOS 10.6.2.
• Series 7, 8, 9 and Ultra 1/2/3 — Ramdisk (Hello and passcode): with HFZ Flash Watch / Activator iWatch (macOS), "Hello" and passcode bypass with owner info, on watchOS 7 to 10.6.2. No restore or update needed.

What do I need?

• An AWRT adapter (iBUS, MagicAWRT, Apple AWRT, JCID AWRT, etc.), since the Apple Watch has no USB port.
• A macOS computer for the ramdisk modes.
• Tool-based process: connect in recovery mode, precheck, DFU, exploit with the module and boot the ramdisk.

How long does it take?

Delivered in minutes. The API replies instantly, 24/7.

Important conditions

• FMI OFF (Series 1-3): 7-day key (SK KEY) warranty; if the watch relocks, it is verified and a new key is issued free.
• After the bypass you can reboot and use the watch normally; no jailbreak needed.
• The official, free method is for the previous owner to remove it via Find My (iCloud.com → Find My → select the watch → Remove from Account) or for Apple to release it with proof of purchase. This service is an alternative when the previous owner is unavailable.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work on a reported or blacklisted Apple Watch? On Series 1/2/3 (FMI OFF) yes: it covers clean, lost, blacklist and demo statuses. On the other series it is a ramdisk bypass (Hello/passcode).

Does it keep the Apple Watch LTE signal? The ramdisk passcode bypass keeps signal; the "Hello" mode and FMI OFF depend on the model.

Which watches are covered? Series 1, 2 and 3 via FMI OFF; Series 4, 5 and SE, and Series 7, 8, 9 and Ultra 1/2/3 via ramdisk bypass.

Do you also offer IMEI removal for clean devices? Yes. For clean-status Apple Watch and iPad we have a separate iCloud removal by IMEI service, and an OTIX bypass for Series 4, 5 and SE.
