The Dead IOS 5.0.1 iPhone 4s Restoration

In this video Hugh will be restoring a once dead iPhone 4s into a fully functional and unlocked iPhone 4s 16GB running IOS 5.0.1.
This iPhone was included in a lot of iPhones and iPhone parts, all phones were supposedly iCloud locked. Hugh managed to get some working and even unlocked.

[@chucklemeister1529]

Even though i love my 8 plus and its bigger screen, there is just something about the 4 series that still draws my eye.

[@brian7430]

Chuckle Meister it’s prolly bc of its design

[@aidl_ashrfz]

Same.... I'm currently using iPhone 8 Plus but I also like the design of the iPhone 4/4s

[@facurojas4477]

I'm still with an iPhone 8 Plus in 2022, but the iPhone 4 and 5 are beautiful phones

[@nomanshaikh9173]

Also my favourite iPhone is 4s 5 and 5s.

[@demlanhlung]

iPhone 4s is still the most iconic Apple design

[@xsuperbootsx5598]

i think the 5, 5s ,SE design is more iconic but the 4 is good too ,and it was really ahead of it's time with a glass back ,now all phones have it lol

[@alannabanana22ify]

these are so interesting i am literally binge watching all of your phone restoration videos haha, love them, good work :)

[@alexrivas1446]

I praise you Hugh, I have a Iphone 6 and i cracked the screen. I decided to get it for a repair shop bit they were too expensive and it was a creap aftermarket screen. So i decided to do a screen replament . I also had a faulty mic so i changed it to with an OEM part. Overall you were my inpiration for my Iphone repair in every way! Thank you

Thats Samha Miss old iPhone 4s that is running iOS 7 But her brother keeps dropping all the time and it went to connect to iTunes screen and she got a new phone Samsung S8 cause iPhone is out of stock. She had it replaced since 2016 with a purple screen And after 2 months It went to the recovery mode and restored just fine But its iCloud locked with iOS 9 also That happened since 2016 so we got a new 5.0.1 logic board The original OS for iPhone 4s Then got a black screen instead. So she gave to Hugh Jeffreys to repair it.

[@jaketaylor9961]

Hugh, do you by any chance know how to remove the iCloud lock on an iPhone 4s? I need help removing it on my 4s running iOS 6.1.3. I've tried jailbreaking the phone and bypassing the activations screen and also using 3rd party tools to remove the iCloud account, though nothing worked. I don't really have the money to purchase an unlock from an online service..

[@xanpagebrown]

Why do you never update your phones, eg. Your iPhone 7 as the last time we saw it it was running iOS 10 and that was when iOS 12 was as a beta

[@bensatechguy3239]

xan page-brown phones on old firmwares are worth a lot

[@xanpagebrown]

BensATechGuy on his iPhone 7, it's his main phone so he would be better off updating it and get all the new features and it would also most likely make his phone fell faster

[@SOTP.]

@@xanpagebrown HAHAHAHAHAH thats a funny joke. Updating makes your device faster LOL. Also i dont care about new features, i prefer having the old nostalgic ios.

[@christianguitron6316]

if the aftermarket display doesn't work with ios 5 why didn't you just update it to ios 9 with iTunes? The display doesn't have to work to update it.

[@SOTP.]

You are a fucking idiot. Ios 5 legit on the iphone 4s is really rare.

The iPhone 4s can be restored in iTunes to IOS 6.1.3 as its signed by Apple. Just download the ipsw from a website like ipsw.me and restore it in itunes. (Only works for IOS 6.1.3)
