CheckM8 Unlock iCloud Tools - How It Works ?

Install Checkm8 Software

1. Download and install Checkm8 Software.


• Once the software is downloaded, launch it via right touchpad or mouse click on the app’s icon and left click on “Open”. The app will require a full permission, so please allow it. In case you face any issues with the Checkm8 app running related to FileVault, disable FileVault. The screen below will appear in case of success.

• The next screen will display the following message: «CheckM8 Software was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer”. Here, you should click on “Open anyway”.

• Click on the “Install” button will complete the Checkm8 Software installation process.

Jailbreak iDevice

1. As was mentioned above, Checkra1n Jailbreak is already built-in into Checkm8 Software. This way, you don’t need to download it from elsewhere. Click on Checkm8 app icon to open it. The other option is to go to Dock and click on Launchpad icon beside Checkm8 Software icon. Connect iCloud Locked iPhone or iPad to Mac PC. The software will check the jailbreak status of your Apple device. If your device is not jailbroken, the software will offer you to launch Checkra1n and complete the jailbreaking process:

2. Click on “Run Checkra1n jailbreak” button to run the app and let it recognize the device in Recovery Mode connected to Mac PC. This is where the jailbreak process starts.

Enter Device into Recovery Mode

There are some cases when Checkra1n can’t recognize the Apple device connected to Mac PC. Here they are:

• iPhone or iPad is passcode disabled.
• When the following message is displayed: “USB Accessory – Unlock iPhone to use accessories”.

NOTE! This step is required in case of passcode unlock on disabled iPhone or iPad!

Please keep your device connected until you see the Recovery Mode screen:

• For iPads with Face ID feature: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Top button until restart begins. Keep holding the Top button until your device gets into recovery mode.
• For iPhones 8 and newer models: Press and quickly release the Volume Up button. Press and quickly release the Volume Down button. Press and hold the Side button until you see the recovery mode screen.
• For iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and iPod touch (7th generation): Press and hold the Top (or Side button) and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Continue holding these buttons until you see the recovery mode screen.
• For iPads with Home button, iPhone 6s or earlier, and iPod touch (6th generation) or earlier: Press and hold both the Home and the Top (or Side) buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.

Now, you should reopen Checkm8 Software. It will recognize the device in Recovery Mode connected to Mac PC. Please return to the previous step (Checkra1n Jailbreak) and complete the jailbreaking process.

Device Verification

Checkm8 Software will verify your device once the jailbreaking process is completed. In order to avoid erroneous orders, we’ve added this verification step to check if iCloud Unlock is possible for the device connected. Unfortunately, Checkm8 iCloud Unlock Software does not support all iPhone and iPad models.

• Here is the list of the devices supported for iCloud Activation Lock bypass and removal: iPhone (SE, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X), iPod touch 7G, iPad (Air 2, 5, 6, 7), iPad Pro (9.7, 12.9, 12.9(2G), 10.5), iPad mini 4 running on iOS 12.3 up to iOS 13.x.x. The bypass option allows to activate GSM module on iPhones X, 8 Plus, 8, 7 Plus, and 7.
• A Passcode Removal and complete iCloud Unlock are possible on the following Apple devices requiring lock screen passcode entering: iPhone (SE, 6S, 6S Plus, SE, 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X), iPod touch 7G, iPad (Air 2, 5, 6, 7), iPad Pro (9.7, 12.9, 12.9(2G), 10.5), iPad mini 4 running on iOS 13.x.x.
