Dec 16, 2013 12:11 AM in response to jeanpierre1905by nhaigh,I have the same problem
1) visited icloud.com on another device > Find My iPhone
2) remove the device from the Find My iPhone feature on that webpage
3) reboot iPhone
4) restore iPhone via iTunes
I did all of above but when opening up iTunes and plug my iphone back it, same message pops up saying I must turn off Find My Phone.

Dec 18, 2013 6:32 PM in response to jeanpierre1905by tomc_mac,Found a fix! In my case I encounted the same problem and turns out I had disabled changes to location services within Restrictions. To check it this will work for you go to:
General | Restrictions | Location Services | Change "Don't Allow Changes" to "Allow Changes"
Note: You will need your passcode to update the Restrictions.
Once this setting was changed, I could go into iCloud and update the Find my iPhone.

Dec 25, 2013 7:13 PM in response to jeanpierre1905by srndur,by the way, none of the remote instructions work while the "iPhone is disabled ... try again in 60 minutes"
it will NOT show in devices on the iCloud.com and on my iPad app, it says "offline" and you guessed it, you cannot remote wipe while offline. YAY!

Jan 8, 2014 6:29 PM in response to lynisewaitsby Maximus XPS,This happened to my phone, which has a broken power button as well, so I could not put it into DFU mode to restore it.
BTW when you ask Siri to turn off "Find My iPhone", she plays dumb.
I plugged into computer and went to iTunes, backed it up. Then for safe measure I used Image Capture to get all photos off. I logged into my account at iCloud, erased the phone (takes like 30 seconds tops) and THEN "Removed it from the Account". It lit up immediately and I restored it from the back-up.
Thank you and a Baba Booey to you all!

I'm not familiar with TinyUmbrella. Is that a new App in the Apple App Store?

Jan 10, 2014 12:31 PM in response to TJBUSMC1973by ChrisJ4203,I believe that is part of the Cydia store, no wait, that is a jailbreaking app..............

Jan 10, 2014 1:15 PM in response to iDavidby Fabio984,DFU doesn't pass the iCloud request. If the phone is asking the iCloud email and password, I'm afraid you can't do "anything".

Jan 10, 2014 2:01 PM in response to ChrisJ4203by iDavid ,this progam is not relates with jailbreaking. Although some users use this program in case jailbreaking goes wrong. But it does nothing to your phone related to jailbreak.
