Does a jailbreak remove iCloud Activation Lock?
Which iCloud Activation Lock Removal Tool is the best?
Can I remove iCloud Activation Lock online without a computer?
YES, you can. If you remember your Apple ID and password, you can turn off Find My iPhone remotely from another device. All you need is to open the Find My app on another iPhone or iPad and sign in with your Apple ID and password. Then, tap the device you wish to turn off the Find My iPhone feature, scroll down to find Erase This Device, and tap it. Once finished, tap Remove This Device, and then tap Remove.
So I've seen a number of posts demonstrating successful icloud activation lock removal with Apple's icloud request form.
On many of those posts I saw people who wondered how to achieve that, and the posts were not particularly direct in terms of the instruction given to accomplish a similar goal.
Inspired by those posts, I tried submitting the icloud unlock form based on feedback from others users of r/setupapp
The device that was icloud locked was an iPhone 6 16GB(2014). It became that way because I was stupid and didn't write down my passwords. I forgot and then wasted my resets and since I didn't use my real name or birthday, I couldn't fix it.
With the new form however, I requested it and succeeded in regaining access to that iPhone 6(skip to bottom if you want to read some tangential details).
Following here are the steps that I took to get the successful unlock.
Obtain the IMEI number for the device. This can be done through a number of ways, it is present on the box and it can also be found through this: https://www.wootechy.com/unlock-iphone/how-to-get-imei-number-on-iphone-if-locked/
Enter in the relevant information on Apple's icloud unlock request form: https://al-support.apple.com/#/additional-support
Agree to Apple's terms, solve the capture, enter an email address(doesn't matter as is used for correspondence on the request progress and resolution), enter the IMEI and solve the CAPTCHA.
Then you will have to put in an address for where you bought the device. I put in eBay's offices for the address.
Apple wants to know what you have done to remove Activation Lock so far. I put that I looked online for solutions and this is what I found.
Apple will also want proof of purchase/ownership. As far as I can tell, Apple will accept a site like "https://iunlocker.com/check_icloud.php"
Enter in your IMEI and take a screenshot of the results. Upload that to the form where Apple asks for proof of purchase/ownership. Please note that I do not know whether serial number works or not. Based on what I have read and seen so far, only IMEI have worked in achieving unlocks.
Click submit and wait. My iCloud activation lock removal came after about 30hours, at 12:06AM Pacific Standard Time so I was not awake when I got the email.
Enjoy your new access to the phone.
The iPhone 6 was my dad's that he got from work, and it was meant to be my first phone. But of course I messed it up. At the time though I was so excited I didn't even notice or think about that fact though. A child's new phone is a very exciting matter indeed.
