You are correct, you cannot bypass Activation Lock. You tried a hack from YouTube and it has locked the phone. Unless you can get in touch with the former owner to unlock and the device and remove it from his iCloud, you have a useless device that you will never be able to successfully activate. Contact your friend of a friend and get it taken care of, or ask your other friend for your money back.
