My goal was to fix the cracked screen and sell the device.. turns out it is iCloud locked.. what can I do to make a profit off it now, suggestions? Thank you
That’s pretty difficult to bypass. You need to get the original owner to unlock it for you.
Try honesty. Bite the bullet. Contact the owner and tell them what happened. That you bought it, repaired it with out knowing it was locked. Give it back. Maybe they will pay you for your expenses. Maybe the Wheel of Karma will smile on you. Maybe you will be the end of a news broadcast story with Scott Pelley.
this is a common pitfall with refurbishing, sorry this happened to you. Selling for parts or waiting until some future time when a legitimate iCloud activation bypass exists are your only options.
