Hello everyone. I just purchased an iphone 4s on craigslist. I checked esn and everything and it was clear.
Anyway, the phone was never activated. I am assuming the person bought it and never activated it just to resell for a little profit.
Few questions, first is there anyway to bypass the activation screen without putting in the persons account details? (zip and pin).
Second, is it possible to jailbreak an unactivated phone? I have tried with absinthe and redsn0w and both told me phone had to me activated.
Basically, I went into this deal assuming the phone had a BAD ESN but the girl was basically not tech savy at all and had no clue.
Third and last, I have Sprint, can I just activate the phone on my account for a bit just to get the phone up and running then activate back to my current phone a few minutes later?
Any help would be appreciated as I have searched the net for an answer and have not found anything.
Thanks.
