Question Undemo Apple Watch Series 3 42mm Gps + Cellular


I was ripped of on eBay, and send a Apple Watch Series 3 in demo mode. Talking to apple they said they wouldn't do anything.

So I'm taking it into my own hands to undemo it. But there are a lot of conflicting information out there, with a lot of them being out of date, due to the new OTA strategy from Apple.

As far as I understood it: You're not able to use iTunes and a downloaded firmware anymore, since iTunes does not accept the .zip and the old IPSW are not being signed. But also it doesn't work with the MFC dongle because no custom firmware was released to undemo the series 3 42mm.

I tried looking everywhere for instructions, but even in the MFC dongle manual there is no section about the Apple Watch. I someone knows where to find a tutorial or post a step by step instructions, that would be awesome.

ps. I know there are sellers on eBay who promise to undemo your watch, but I don't want to send 400$ to a stranger

So you can use mfc dongle + ibus s2 to do this , mfc have own firmware can help u fix the issue, and that's no need 400$.

Hey, I’ve been doing Apple Watch demo mode removals for about 5 months, and all my tools come from these guys. I now the iBUS S1 and S2 and the MFC dongle, and they are so easy and efficient to use, that I repaired 8+ watches in a matter of hours. All I had to do was set up everything On the computer, then hook up the iBUS S2 to each watch. Then just hit a few buttons and sit back and wait. Then hook it up to the next watch. PM me if you’re interested and I’ll give you the number to text me. Just let me know!

mfc dongle + bus s2 only , if you can get original firmware , you even don't need buy MFC Dongle (To using MFC Dongle , due we have compatible related watch firmware to work with mfc software)

I don't think i can get a firmware for this watch much better to use the MFC dongle if ever there is a compatible firmware that will work normally.
