I lost my phone for a week and decided to "DELETE" my iPhone's contents. I just found my iPhone, but don't want the contents deleted, so I haven't turned it on. Is there a way to stop the iPhone from being deleted (Withdrawing the "DELETE" from running)?
HELP ME!
iPhone 4S, iOS 7
You can't cancel a Find My iPhone erase command. What you could do is turn on the phone and put it in airplane mode as quickly as you can to prevent it from connecting to the internet. Then you can back it up to your computer using iTunes by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTunes, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now. Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.
Then you can take it out of airplane mode, allow it to erase, then restore the backup you made earlier to recover your data again.
What I did Was: I entered in My Icloud Account, then I removed the devise from my account.. then it popped up a screen saying something like somebody else can use your phone or it will reappear if it connects to the internet.. anyway delete it, and then it will stop the deletion, then go to your lost and found devise and connect to find my Iphone app from it and it will reappear in my devises, anyway I made a copy of It before doing that, just in case.
