I formatted (reset) an iphone 7 plus it was still working normally but 5 days later the owner of this phone told me it stopped working ( locked in some way) i dunnu what to do how can it be solved ? Can i use the iphone’s IMEI ?
iPhone 7 Plus
Here's how it works
When you turn on Find My [device] on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple Watch, your Apple ID is securely stored on Apple’s activation servers and linked to your device. From that point on, your Apple ID password or device passcode is required before anyone can turn off Find My, erase your device, or reactivate and use your device.
Activation Lock is enabled automatically when you set up Find My.
Before you give away your device or send it in for service
Make sure that you turn off Find My [device]Â on your device before you give it away or send it in for repair. Otherwise, your device is locked and anyone that you give the device to can't use it normally and Apple technicians can't perform service repairs. Just sign out of iCloud and then erase all content and settings. This completely erases your device, removes it from your Apple ID, and turns off Find My.
In iOS 10.3 or later:
In iOS 10.2 or earlier:
