@motobabe, try it for the firmware password.
@macattacked05, I'm sorry it didn't work. You can try removing the iCloud, but be sure you back it up first.
@thatasachik, as far as I know, Stellar recovery should show you hidden files.
I'm running out of ideas, so if you try the logic board replacement method be sure to let us know how it works out for you.
@shehryar23, I'm sorry that it was so much trouble. If you correctly followed my guide and it didn't work then I don't know how to help you at this point.
I haven't received any confirmations that this method works. The only confirmation I have is my own. Maybe I was lucky, maybe Apple patched the system to prevent this circumvention. I don't think I can do much more here until I can get my hands on a Mac, and there's no ETA for that.
I feel like a lot of people got let down here, I'm sorry.
