Story: about 2 months ago i found this mobile on road side. screen was broken. i had managed a data cable to charge it. i had replaced with new screen worth 1400 rupees. after replacing screen i inserted a sim and used(only call receive and charging because it was locked) for 1 week.

after that i thought to restore it by using itunes. so i downloaded latest version of itunes and tried to restore.a file size of 2.44GB get downloaded and automatically getting extracted.After extarction iphone restarts for once.

But problem is that itunes is showing after extraction preparing iphone to restore and them waiting for iphone. this status remain for alll time and in iphone nothing is happening.

It doesn't belong to you. Turn it over to the authorities.

There is no way to bypass the activation lock.
