General FAQs:

Q: After wiping the data and resetting the phone, it prompts ‘Device is locked and requires Apple ID and password for activation’ during the setup process. What should I do?

A: If your phone had an Apple ID signed in and the "Find My iPhone" feature enabled before the reset, you will need to enter the associated Apple ID and password to activate and use the device after the data wipe and reset.

Q: Why does the device automatically re-enter recovery mode after exiting it?

A: This could indicate that the system on your device is damaged. You can try using the system repair function to resolve the issue.

Q: What should I do if my iOS device displays ‘Attempting data recovery’?

A: If you see this message, it likely means your device encountered an issue during an iOS update (either upgrading or downgrading the system). If you wait about 30 to 60 minutes, the error typically resolves itself. If the error persists, a common fix is to force restart the device to restore normal operation. Alternatively, you can use FoneTool Repair to professionally repair the device via standard repair mode or deep repair mode.
