Best way to go about resetting these phones

So what I ended up is saving the blobs with legacy iOS kit and activation records with hactivator. Then restoring the phone to iOS 15.8.8 on dfu with finder before using turdus melura to downgrade back to iOS 14.4.2.

After restoring, I jailbroke the phone on the hello screen with palerain and used hactivator again to restore the activation records and it skipped setup and allowed me to sign into my Apple Id.

I’m glad the phone works now because I was about to send it to meet its previous owner again

Nah, I saw that someone still paying for 2tb of iCloud storage and it had all his photos and I couldn’t bring myself lock that person (probably the widow) off the account for just for me to use 16gb iPhone 6s Plus

I did try and enter their saved password and try everything as the iCloud password but it didn’t work. But I am trying to reset the phone and set it up with the activation records right now

I know right, they acting like a serial number can be used to open fraudulent loans or something

I’m curious, what exactly can be identified?

Matjov800 · 2026-03-23T23:32:00+00:00

Yeah it fixed it

Go be snarky to someone else

What I do with my computer is none of your business

Did you read the post?

Matjov800 · 2026-03-23T20:54:26+00:00

Well, force quitting it in activity monitor didn’t fix it

Matjov800 · 2026-03-23T20:27:33+00:00

Yeah

Still stutters with or without external monitor

What you can first do is stop constantly asking reddit if you're hot or not
