You need another computer, preferably a Mac, and a usb to iPad cable (Lightning) and an open source program called checkra1n.įirst a brief overview so you have some idea of the workflow:Ģ) From the Mac, Checkra1n will install the iOS checkra1n on the iPad via the cableģ) On the iPad Checkra1n will install Cydia on the iPadĤ) On the iPad Cydia will install a SSH (basically a secure login) on the iPad But I did it in an afternoon and I had zero idea what I was doing before I started. I have no idea whether iActivate will be able to remove the profile, but if you consider $45 "too expensive," then the price being offered is probably too high.Ĭlick to expand.Basically all I can do is list the tools I used and the resources I followed. There's not likely to be a cheap way to remove the profile. Considering the age of the devices, the original owner may consider them to be abandoned property - but it doesn't mean they want to make that abandoned property useful to a new owner (or put extra money in the pockets of employees who were supposed to recycle the stuff). An innocent explanation might be that the organization moved/upgraded to another MDM platform and doesn't want to continue the old subscription.
The original owner should be able to remove the profile in just a few moments. "Not willing" to remove the profile does raise suspicions. Profiles can prevent you from using the iPads as you wish.
The MDM capabilities Apple built into iOS are intended to make those products attractive to the corporate/institutional/government market - easy-to-break device management is not a positive selling point.įrom my perspective, if the seller can't/won't remove the profile, then don't buy it. IT departments don't want to have to lay hands on a device every time an employee/student tries to erase the thing. I'm going to bet the answer will be "stuck with those profiles." It's not likely a simple erase/restore attempt will brick them - the MDM usually just prevents activities that can undo the restrictions.

It'll probably come down to this: Either you can perform a full Erase All Content and Settings or Recovery Mode restore of iOS (in which case the profile should be gone), or you won't be able to erase those iPads at all and you'll be stuck with those profiles and whatever limitations/restrictions they impose.
