You can't, try to backup and restore it.

They probably just figured out the password they changed it to, when they took the phone into evidence.

This guy?


tl;dw he's bypassing the 10 pw attempt limit by overwriting two .plist files on the iOS device. Those .plist files keep track of how many failed pw attempts there are. So once he reaches 5 failed PW attempts, he overwrites the .plist files that kept track of the 5 failed attempts and replaces them with .plist files that says there have been no failed attempts. Reboot the phone and try 5 more, rinse and repeat. he does 5 instead of 10 because the iPhone starts popping up warnings and delaying entries after 5 failed attempts. Since his device is jailbroken he can do it at the file level but san bernandino guy's iPhone would have to be at the nand chip level but still doable.

they all work at first but usually not for long. The biggest problem i get is they start going on and off the charging cycle while plugged in.

Incidentally, they have non-forensic machines that I have seen previously in Apple (and other cell providers) stores for basic data migration from old phone to new phone. Mainly I think that was before iCloud and Google put all that data in the cloud.

Nearly every government agency, police forensic unit, etc. is using Cellebrite forensic tools for mobile device analysis.

I broke the security on this Master Lock today and I will not reveal to Master Lock how I defeated their security. If someone wants to buy me out let me know.

Anybody else's Siri randomly turn on? My phone (locked) has been sitting on my desk for the past 15 minutes and all of a sudden siri is like 'sorry, i didn't get that'. This is like the 5th time in the past month or two I can remember this happening. Weird as hell.

Is the "Hey Siri" feature getting activated? Mine would rarely do that if I had my phone plugged in and the TV was on.

With the 6S, the phone doesn't need to be plugged in.

There is a laundry list of things I wish my 6S+ could do that even my two or three year old Androids could do.

But of all phones you had to get a Samsung. I swore off their phones once with my first Android, and I was naive enough to think they turned things around a few years after that. Their phones always take a nosedive in functionality after a few months. Then battery life follows suit not long after that. Build quality is right off the bat, you just don't notice until the paint starts chipping off. Then you find out that both AT&T and Samsung customer service sucks and will tell you to kick rocks if you want a new one.

Did I mention that Samsung phones suck dick?

Yeah I'm on my 3rd Sammy (insurance claims) and they're great at first and shit after a year. I won't write off Android yet because of funcionality and other phones are better than Sammy but it's so much easier going to a Genius bar rather than waiting 2 days for a replacement in the mail.

I just remember there was a list of things that I did when I jail broke back in the day. Now those things are built into iOS... Or there is an official app for it.

^Do iPhones now support folder browsing? I like to save an excel file to my SD card with my workouts on there and edit it during. I just go to the file manager. My old JB'ed 4 had a hack for this.

There's iCloud Drive.

You can be on your computer and save the excel file on there and open it on the iPhone. Since it's a shared file, whatever changes you make on your iPhone or computer are synced


You can also send over the file via airdrop if you have a Mac.


No need for SD card swapping

No no. I make all the changes on my phone. I can save the file to my phone hard disk or the SD card inside the phone (Note 4). Obviously iPhones don't have SD cards but I was wondering if you can take in an excel file onto the phone, edit it, save it, send it to wherever via email after with the changes. No Mac/PC/Cloud involved.
