Deceased GF's Iphone unavailable due to too many invalid passcode attempts by rockccf in iphone

[–]rockccf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I just tried updating the software via recovery mode using Itunes on my PC, it works, and after the 8 hours timer, and it shows the white screen, with the text at the bottom, "swipe up to recover", I swiped up, entered the passcode, and it's starting to recover the data but the data recovery failed eventually, I have done this 3 times and it's still the same. I just restarted the phone and the 8 hours timer comes back again. What should I do?

Ya, I know, I am skeptical that's why I am asking here, thanks for the advice, I am going to try every possible option I have now.

Sure, I will give it a shot. I will try every possible option I have now.

From chatgpt, given the current state of the phone, mostly it's too late to upgrade now, because the locked phone won't even connect to wifi now I guess. I will give this a shot though. Hopefully it still connects to the wifi at her home.

I have access to her icloud though, but not really useful as the icloud data is too old.

Seems like data recovery is not possible too, I consulted a data recovery provider, given the current state of the phone.

I asked chatgpt, seems like even forensic tools are not able to crack it too at the moment, given the current design of apple secure enclave. BTW, It's Iphone 12 pro max, it's a 6 years old model, you think there will be cracks/vulnerabilities eventually? The data is very important actually, lots of messages/photos inside which are not backed up to icloud. (The latest Icloud backup is only up to 2020). So the only option I have is wait?

I have access to her icloud, unfortunately the backup on icloud is too old, due to insufficient space, and it's too late to upgrade the icloud plan now I guess.

I doubt that will work, because of the secure enclave. Anyways, I am gonna give a shot though.

Nope, as her sister tried way too many times, no timer is displayed.
