How to Fully Bypass iCloud account on iPhone 5

Before getting started, we must say many thanks to Apple Tech 752, who has developed this tool.

Step 1: First, connect your iPhone to a Windows computer that has previously installed 3U Tool app. If you do not have 3Utools, you can also use iTunes to manually restore iOS 10.3.4 firmware. 

Step 2: If your computer does not detect your iPhone 5, then you can restore your phone in recovery mode. Make sure to freshly reinstall your iPhone to bypass it.

Step 3: When the process is done (3Utools says “new”, or before the Apple logo show up on your iPhone screen), quickly hold the only Power button for 3 seconds. Remember not to disconnect your phone from the computer. After that, hold Power + Home buttons for 5 seconds.

Step 4: After 5 seconds, release the Power button while still holding the Home button until your computer makes a sound.

If your iPhone shows the Apple logo and a progress bar, and you tried over 20 times without booting into DFU mode, wait for the boot and try to restore again. It’s import to start entering DFU mode after the restoration, but before the first Apple logo.
