Remote Wipe Question - Urgent!

Unfortunately, the phone requires a 3G, Wifi connection to receive the wipe command.

Yes it should, though if they need to break into it, i assume you have a passcode lock on it? if so did you set it to wipe after 10 invalid tries?

Because you havent, they have 10 attempts to enter the passcode correctly, after the 6th try ( i believe ) it starts a timer that prevents trying for a set period of time. One the 10th incorrect appempt, the phone needs to be plugged into itunes and reset to factory defaults to be usable again.

I had a similar situation where my iphone 4 was stolen. I performed a remote wipe and at first the message was that it was pending because the iphone was not connected to the internet. About 20 min later I got an email saying that the remote wipe was in process and that it couldnt be reversed.

Few minutes later, on the icloud site, I saw a message saying that the iphone's location couldnt be updated because it was wiped. Does this mean it worked? The question is based on the fact that I kept calling the phone every so often and it was turned off all the time. I have since cancelled the service so I wont have a chance to know if it really worked.

Any comments

Hi, Guys

My iphone 4 was taken by the police and kept it with them for about 2 weeks. Luckily I was able to remotly wipe the phone via icloud the next day and I got the confirmation from icloud that it was deleted.

I just got my phone back and it was wiped and on factory setting.

My question now is; will the police be able to get any data or media out of myi phone by using a specail software? or any other way ?

It would be if you guys could reply to this.

Thanks much
