Explanation of FMI statuses: CLEAN / LOST / OFF and decryption of the received information from checkers
There are only 3 basic iCloud blocking status (FMI):
1.
OFF - the device has no bindings and can be freely activated by your Apple ID account
2.
CLEAN - the device has a binding and can be activated by your Apple ID account only after unbinding from the previous
3.
LOST - the same as
CLEAN , but has one of the additional features: the device is erased (
ERASED ), stolen or lost (
LOST OR STOLEN ), flagged by operator as blacklist (
BLACKLISTED ) (valid for the site www.imeipro.info - while the status of the FMI itself can be
CLEAN , but you can find out only through other services that make this gradation).
Regarding the external signs of determining the status - if there is a message from the owner on the screen or it is written that the phone is erased / lost, then this is definitely
LOST , but if there are no such messages, this does not mean that the phone
CLEAN . Just in the process of erasing / entering the loss mode, no data was specified and / or the phone was flashed in the DFU mode (in this case, any signs
LOST and leave).
As the saying goes, "Warned, it means armed." The more information you gather, the better you will be prepared to communicate with those. Apple support, and, accordingly, the chances of unlocking the device increase.
Therefore, if you do not know the date of purchase, the date of expiration of warranty service, whether the device is blocked by any operator, who is the official seller, etc., you need to get this information from the checkers. For this we need IMEI / SN.
Data for testing (IMEI / SN) always take from the device itself, and not the SIM-tray, back cover, box, etc.
There are also free checkers, but in view of their rapid appearance and the same rapid disappearance in the cap they will not. Just know that if you wrote in the subject line “Help to break through the info on IMEI to such and such” and they answered you and not even once, then there is such a checker with 90% probability and most likely it is present in the subject itself.
Regarding all the instructions with the pictures above - at the time you read the real menus and sections on the sites may differ slightly, so if some kind of direct link does not work, then you need to go to the site itself and look for a service by analogy.
Decoding the information received
- Model: IPHONE 6S NB30 16GB RGLD - your device model
- IMEI Number: 355417073274471 - IMEI of your device (may be absent if your device does not work with SIM cards)
- Serial Number: C7KQMHQ5GRY8 - serial number
- Find My iPhone: ON - activation blocking status. If ON, then we read further, and if OFF, then immediately we start the device in the mode DFU and reflash.
- iCloud Status: CLEAN - the status of the activation lock status. Accepts two values ​​- CLEAN (clean) and LOST (lost / stolen / erased). I will not useless to say that with the status of LOST I will not turn to support, but your path becomes more complicated at times - at least you need to have original documents and indeed information to the maximum.
- Warranty Status: Apple Limited Warranty - warranty status (either still is or has ended)
- Coverage End Date: 12/21/16 - date of expiry of warranty service. The possibility of contacting support for the decoupling is not affected in any way. As a rule, the warranty lasts exactly one year from the moment of purchase, but sometimes it can be longer (buy more)
- Estimated Purchase Date: 12/22/15 - the estimated date of purchase. Calculated precisely because it is calculated from the moment of the first activation. In 99% of cases, it coincides with the actual date of purchase, but sometimes it happens differently - for example, bought online, and received it at the delivery point in a couple of weeks or the device was bought as a gift, but activated only on the day of donation, etc. Also pay attention to the date format - the day and the month sometimes change places depending on the checker.
- Registered Purchase Date: 01/31/16 - registered sale date. Changes when the phone is tied to an Apple ID that is different from the previous one and after contacting Apple in support of the decoupling. If the registered date is older than the settlement date, then this may be a sign that the device was replaced under warranty and additional checks are needed (such information can be obtained at this time only through pay lists).
- Product Sold by: TECH DATA BVBA SPRL - a very important line, which shows us the sales agent. If Apple's here, then check counterfeiting is almost no sense (high failure statistics), as they have full access to this information - as an option only contact the store and ask to send a duplicate. Therefore, in this case with the embodiment of drawing is best viewed as a last resort option. As sales agent can be a wholesale supplier - in this case, the document needed for the sale of a retail store (this will be a different company). How do you know it? Find a topic, Googling, try to "ask" near the wholesaler.
- Initial Carrier: Retail Unlock is the original lock statement. It may be an important sign of determining the country of sale, but more on that below.
- Purchased In: BE - Belgium - selling country. There are times when it differs from the actual sale of the country. First of all, this happens because the machine was sold in a network of a large operator as an option which has offices in several countries. A striking example - Telenor operator. The main office they have in Norway, Checker can write that bought in Sweden, but in fact can be sold in Germany, Denmark and other countries in which the operator provides its services. In such cases, it is the original binding operator is very important information about the country in which the sale was made
This information is essential for creating checks. , if for some reason to get copies of original documents (cash / sales receipt) failed. In the case of replaced devices, a set of necessary documents for contacting those. Apple support replenishes: cash / sales receipt from the original device + document confirming the replacement with a new one.
