What has happened is that the date and time has been reset due to the battery being unplugged.

Once that happens, your only options to resynchronize the date and time is the use of internet connection to the phone or plug into iTunes.

First start off with having a sim card that has cellular data enabled, date and time will only sync automatically when the phone has airplane mode disabled and cellular data enabled with an sim card. If the phone automatically connects to a Wi-Fi network the date and time will synchronize too.

If you are able to disable airplane mode and enable Wi-Fi from the bottom pull up bar (forgot what they call it) do that if you do have a sim card installed or a known Wi-Fi network saved on the phone.

Last resort is to do upgrade via iTunes first and if that does not work I'm afraid you will have to do a restore which will wipe all data and the only backup you can use is iTunes restore backups via iTunes if the phone has been synchronized or used on iTunes before.

thanks for an answer ben, but after updating iphone via itunes to ios 10 the iphone only show 46 years cooldown time without showing signal bar and the battery percentage, so i cant do much anything about it, it seem that i disabled the wifi and cellular data and last time i remember that i didnt enable the airplane mode, ill never gonna use a restore mode because i prefer to keep the data instead doing wiping it, so is there any way ? maybe changing iphone date time by exploring iphone file with usb cable via macbook and change it or maybe desolder iphone memory chip nand and weld it with keys support with multi lga 52/60 then explore file and change the date time? , ill do any step to make my data back, and but ill never using restore step because i never giving upon it. Oh yeah i forgot to say that I still remember the 4 digit passcode, thanks for your attention

cant it be downgraded and fixing the problem? because i have a file name "iPhone5,2_9.3.5_13G36_Restore.ipsw"

crwdns2934271:0Nhl 10, 2016crwdnd2934271:0 maxwell crwdne2934271:0

Nope. System files for security will still display iPhone disabled issue, even after doing an update to a later OS (Sometimes you may be lucky with it working but you can't downgrade as Apple has blocked off downgrading older firmware).

@benjamen50 Yeah the date time has been reset due to battery remove, the thing is, i forgot to mention that before everything happens, i turn off the mobile data and wifi connection(i dont know why am i doing that), i already inserted my working t-mobile card, but still the iphone navigation bar somehow cannot be pulled up, im not able to do anything, its just this thing tellin me to wait for 46 years, guess im fucc'd up now.

That won't help. Battery disconnection resets the RTC (real time clock) causing the date and time to reset to 12:00 AM 1/1/1980 which is the system default time which will just reset the time to that time again.

This occurred to me wile repairing a clients phone it happens when the device is locked out for a period of time and then you pull the battery witch resets the date and time so when you power it back in it shows a insane amount of time the fix is to put a working sim in the device and reboot it and all should be fine.

crwdns2934271:0Huk 1, 2018crwdnd2934271:0 maxwell crwdne2934271:0

how do then turn on cellular data to correct the date and time, when you ain't even allowed into your device ?

If phone still disabled after reboot with working sim, use RecBoot to put phone in recovery mode and then out of recovery more. Works here :-)

Does anyone know if taking the battery out resets the number of attempts you get to try and unlock the iPhone?i have some sentimental stuff on it and I don’t want to get locked out because it’s an older model and I won’t be able to get back in

detaching the battery only resets times it aint nothing to do with passcode attempts, what do you mean about the passcode attempts? do you wrongly type the passcode until your iphone said "iphone is disabled connect to itunes"? if thats the case your only way to fix is just connect on your itunes on your computer, reset your iphone with itunes, and hoping that icloud had your data backed up. btw this page is talking about iphone gets disabled in 47 years, perhaps you came to the wrong topic.
