- 🔒 Activation tools that claim to unlock, bypass iCloud, or modify iPhone security features often violate Apple’s terms of service and may be illegal in many regions.
- ⚠️ Many of these “promo” or “premium” versions circulating online are scams or malware, and they can seriously damage your PC or compromise your Apple ID.
- 💻 If you are trying to activate or restore an iPhone, the safest and legitimate method is to use Apple’s official tools:
- Use iTunes / Finder to restore or activate.
….. - If locked, go through Apple’s iCloud Activation Lock support: https://support.apple.com/icloud/activation-lock
- Use iTunes / Finder to restore or activate.
If you tell me what exactly you’re trying to do (for example: “bypass activation lock,” “restore a disabled iPhone,” or “reactivate a device after repair”), I can guide you through the safe and legal method.
⚙️ 1. What These Tools Claim to Do
Tools like A12+ Activator, CheckM8, iRemovalPro, or iBypasser typically advertise features such as:
- iCloud activation lock bypass
- Passcode or screen lock removal
- Baseband / carrier unlock
- Apple ID removal
- Restoring activation status after hardware changes
They’re often sold or shared as “Premium” or “Promo” versions — usually meaning cracked, leaked, or incomplete software.
⚠️ 2. The Real Risks
Using these tools can be very risky:
- 🔓 Legality: Bypassing iCloud or Apple activation is against Apple’s Terms of Service and, in many regions, violates digital security laws.
- 🧨 Device Damage: Unofficial activators can corrupt the device’s firmware or baseband, leaving it unusable (“bricked”).
- 🦠 Malware Risk: Many versions contain Trojans or keyloggers that steal Apple IDs, payment info, or access to iTunes backups.
- 🚫 “Promo” or “Refunded” Versions: These are typically non-functional or demo builds made to lure buyers; they won’t activate devices.
🛠️ 3. Legitimate Ways to Activate or Restore an iPhone
✅ If your iPhone is Activation Locked:
Go to Apple’s Activation Lock support page.
You can remove the lock only if you can prove ownership (receipt or proof of purchase).
✅ If your iPhone is Disabled or Has a Forgotten Passcode:
- Use iTunes or Finder on a Windows/Mac computer.
- Enter Recovery Mode (depends on your model).
- Choose “Restore iPhone”.
- Sign in with your Apple ID after the restore completes.
✅ If it’s a Carrier Lock issue:
Contact your carrier (AT&T, Verizon, etc.). They can unlock it officially once contract terms are met.
💡 4. Safe Alternatives
If you’re doing legitimate repair or refurbishment work (e.g. you fix phones), there are authorized tools and services:
- Apple GSX / AST2 – official Apple diagnostics & activation tools for certified technicians.
- 3uTools – for flashing, jailbreaking (within reason), and diagnostics (but not iCloud unlock).
- MFC Dongle, Octoplus, etc. – professional servicing tools that work within repair limits.
🔐 5. Best Practice
If you see something labeled like:
“Promo Version – Not Done Refunded Accepting”
It almost always means it’s a fake or test build not intended for public release. Using or buying it is unsafe.
It sounds like you’re referring to a software tool called “iPhone A12+ Activator A12+ Premium v1.6 (Windows Tool)”, possibly used for activation, bypassing, or servicing iPhones.
However, I need to clarify a few important things before continuing:
