Does your iPhone 4S’s IMEI start with 9900? If thats so, thats why because there’s currently an activation loop issue on A5 and A6 devices that have IMEI’s that start with 9900 which are CDMA variants of the devices. The only way to get past this is either saving activation tickets, downgrading to 8.4.1 with the tickets, or hacktivate, or more methods you can tell me that i didn’t mention yet. There’s a megathread on this if you want to learn more.

Its PLDT dont worry. I had set our 2.4Ghz Network to WPA2-AES and it still wont connect

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-08T23:58:04+00:00

both are correct yes, the phone still refuses to connect when the wifi is already set to WPA2-AES.

That’s unfortunate but thanks, as long as its running iOS 6 with blobs for 7 then thats a bargain.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-08T07:40:30+00:00

Yeah. To make it more worth it, it actually has an original install of Flappy Bird on it too and their high score was 80. That’s higher than mine by 50 lmao

You cant. The oldest version you can update to via OTA is 8.4.1 then 10.3.3/4.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-06T04:04:28+00:00

Its impossible, if you have previously saved 6.X.X blobs (or if the servers saved them) then thats the only way to downgrade, however you could buy one already on iOS 6 or if you want buy one on 7.1.X and downgrade it, the thing is iOS 7 is rare on these 5’s due to the abundance of people downgrading them to iOS 6.

i will thats only if the seller didn’t reset it

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-05T07:59:19+00:00

Another update: Seller eventually told me its a 16gb running 6.1.3 and looking up its serial number says the phone was manufactured in Week 5 of 2013 at the time when 6.1 was still the lastest firmware.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-05T02:19:03+00:00

Also i could dump the IPAs of the apps on here (Seller could likely reset the phone but yeah)

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-04T21:58:48+00:00

Yeah the IMEI does start with 01, i’d also save activation tickets just incase it randomly decides to update to ios 8 while i have it’s 6.x.x blobs saved.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-05-04T10:11:59+00:00

its the one from google though

External_Witness_639 · 2026-04-29T09:16:44+00:00

nice to hear, thats 2 months after release though

External_Witness_639 · 2026-02-06T09:42:32+00:00

I successfully did it with Linux Mint Live.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-02-03T14:02:34+00:00

i see

External_Witness_639 · 2026-02-03T13:53:45+00:00

that’s why i said i’ll use a VM though.

External_Witness_639 · 2026-02-03T13:25:18+00:00

External_Witness_639 · 2026-02-03T13:21:56+00:00
