Simple said:Why'd you steal two iPhone 5's?
Doug said:You have to download the legit copy of the new update and manually update the device, this happened to me as well but wasn't a very hard thing to fix.
Degree said:I didn't steal anything, lol. I bought them for cheap af. Where they came from? idgaf.
I've put the device in DFU mode and updated it to 7.0.3. But with this new feature in "Find My iPhone", even after a restore it is still prompted to enter the information.
Apple still reads the id # of the phone, so that doesn't work.GOR said:Well lemme explain what I do since I'm free ATM. First you need to do this on a new computer that's never had access to the iPhones.
1. Put the phone into recovery mode
2. Download the current firmware of the phone
3. Plug the phone into the computer while iTines is running in advance
4. The phone should be detected as in recovery and needs a reset
5. Right click Restore and select your download firmware
6. The phone should restore to brand new
note this doesn't work always on the first try sometimes an hour or two of repeating works

Rude said:I used a old bootrom exploit from ios 5 and found a way to get around it on the iPhone 4. But the iPhone 4S/5/5S/5C have no bootrom exploit. Your best bet is to wait for a jailbreak to come out and hope it hacktivates the iPhones
GOR said:Doesn't matter this is locked due to once it's in recovery mode it will restore automatically and if it hasn't even stolen then Apple shouldn't be locking it. Perhaps this has happened due to unauthorized beta of ios7. This method has worked número ki times for me
Degree said:I found them.But, I'm not worried. People sell them with Activation Lock on eBay. They're are obviously stolen, lolol.
Even after a restore the UDID is linked to the apple account requiring the users information to be entered to finish initial activation/setup. I'm hoping that when the jailbreak comes out for iOS7, they'll have a thing like "Hacktivation" again to get past this.
Yeah, that's exactly what I'm hoping for. They need to hurry up, I wanna sell these bitches.
