Hi I recently purchased a Iphone XR off what we call gumtree in Australia, I saw the phone was reset and didnt think anything off it until i got home to find out it is still locked to the previous apple id. I have no contact with the previous owner and have tried looking even paying someone $56 to factory reset with my IMEI Number but then got scammed and lost it.

I am wondering if there is a way I can jailbreak the phone to get through the activation lock and put my own apple id on or if I am screwed haha.

All help welcome please

I'm not an Apple person, but it sounds like you maybe screwed, you could try taking it to an apple store, but I'm not sure if they could be of much help. I'd atleast contact them and see what they say.

Hi,

The only way you can get the device unlocked if you have proof of the original purchase I'm afraid. There is no other way. I've got experience with this and without proof of original purchase, you're screwed.

Try contacting seller or gumtree but sure you have already.

Sorry bud.

If the device is stuck in an "Activation Lock" then there is nothing you can do. Contact Gumtree.
