a1538 SN CHANGE NOT ACTIVATE - GSM-Forum

ecuador91 · 02-13-2021, 00:12

Hello all,

i bought a sn with wifi and bluetooth for the above mentioned ipad. It is using the a8 chip. I used irepair p10 to write the 3. Everything is ok until i have to activate. Then it fails to activate. I have tried 3 different combos and 3 other ipads. Yesterday i did a a1701 and no problems. Anyone can help? Am willing to pay to learn what im doing wrong.

You are not just brother. On ios 14.4 A8 something else has been implemented that does not allow you to activate the device even by changing the 3 codes.

I see this happening but need details like is it same device type and model? Or is it iPad 4 or mini one details you are writing?

I am using another iPad data. The information matches because I use it on another A8 device and it activated with out a problem. It seems as though it’s only affecting the mini 4. Also if I write back the original data it will work because it asks for the iCloud. Text me on WhatsApp 17736562196

Hi,

Could you please explain this a bit more? Can you jailbreak 14.4? How do you unlock the iCloud? Jailbreak and then change sn?

That's not what we're talking about here at all mate.
The problem is that all of the devices with iOS 14.4 cannot be activated after SN change, regardless if it's WiFi or cellular.

BTW, anyone come across a solution for this yet?

iPad Air 1/Mini 2 and older work fine, just the newer ones that are on iOS 14.4 don't work. So anything with A7 CPU is fine.
No solution yet for A8 and newer.

Aaaaaaand A7 is now patched too. No more serial number changes unfortunately....
