Hacktivation
Hacktivation is the process of activating an iPhone without a valid SIM card inserted. This is especially useful for the old iPhones that require a SIM card in order to activate the device.
Legacy iOS Kit can hacktivate iPhones 2G, 3G, 3GS, and 4 GSM (iPhone3,1) on iOS versions 3.1.3 to 6.1.6. It is required for the device to be jailbroken and/or restored, depending on the method used. For iPhone 4 devices, it is also required for the device to not have iCloud/Activation lock.
In Legacy iOS Kit, there are two methods for hacktivation.
This is the method that sn0wbreeze uses when hacktivating devices. This method can be used by going to "Restore/Downgrade" and enable both Jailbreak Option and Hacktivate Option.
This method is not available for iPhone 4 devices.
This method requires the device to be jailbroken, or restored with the jailbreak option enabled. This method can be used by going to Other Options -> Hacktivate Device.
