Can I in fact remove resistor r1506 and revert it to a wifi only model and update it with the wifi firmware? I'm using the DNS bypass but it's just not enough. Word to the wise if someone sells you an iPad at 1% check to see if it's locked first do t wait til you get home
If the deal is to good to be true, 99.9% of the time it isn't!
See the TV ads about Dealdash.com. They tell you they bought all this stuff for pennies on the dollar, right. What they don't say is how much money was spent on bids. Usually $0.60 per penny bid. That's $60 for each dollar bid. Yes they ended up buying it for $60 but they actually sold it for $60 x 60 or $3600 plus the $60.
Oh, look at the print on the ad that says these prices are not typical!
Model selection is coded into the board factory data, you can't just remove something to trick it into believing it is some other models. Otherwise we can convert thousands of iPhones with dead baseboards(error-1) into iPod touches.
You are wrong. You have to remove GSM resistor and flash the ipad with non GSM ipad model. After it loads up it will be detected as a completely different ipad with different model number
you are right , im actually tryin to turn recycled old iphone 5-6 into ipod by desactivating gsm serial number that will automaticly be detected as an ipod or wathever , i know this resistor bypas are real because ive actually already done it on a ipad a1452 i think , just asked myself if its also possible to do the same tricks on iphones , but need scheematic
If you want to ask :" I have An Ipad WIFI/LTE Icloud Locked, because I forgot to go to https://www.icloud.com/activationlock/ before I bought it, can I transform it to a Wifi only device just by removing one transistor ?" , the answer is yes.
Pay attention : It's ok for All Ipads until the Ipad Air. Much more complicated for Ipad Air 2 Lte and probably for Ipad Pro. For Ipad Air 2 Lte the opéartion on the motherboard is siple too, but once you have restored your device as Wifi device, you will notice that you can't have any Wifi/buethooth connectivity. To fix this issue you will have to jailbreak and then to go to Cydia to install the missing parts of your IOS that enable you to have the Wifi/Bluetooth connectivity.
iPad Air r1506 resistor removal will not work if your iPad is on ios 11 or higher as this exploit has been patched, had i known this or read up abit more before doing so would probably saved me from ruining a perfectly good ipad air. Not worth doing this anymore.
