![]() ![]() Well I just saw your previous posts here circa October 2011 that you got a 4S. If you really are the nice guy you say you are and want to return this phone to its owner, you'll be patient and wait for people to call the phone or put up posters and wait for a response.īest of luck returning this device to its owner. There are plenty of ways to get this phone back to its original owner, given the "really true" story you have given us. If the owner was truly very concerned about it, they would call the device.or others would call it.or something. There is no reason to talk about software/getting into the phone to find the contacts. Because phones are not exactly the most aerodynamic, it would be reasonable to guess that the true owner of the phone is around your neighborhood. This lady said she found it near your place. In terms of software/getting into the phone, I will not help you there. Now that's going off the premise that you really are a nice guy and want to get this phone back to its original owner, like you say. Just put up pictures of the device (with the wallpaper or something), and if it truly does belong to someone, have them unlock the device in front of you. This isn't exactly a 20 dollar bill that can fly over to your 's a 4.8oz piece of metal and glass.not too prone to fly away. If this lady really did find it in a ditch near your house, why not put up posters/ads like they do for missing/found dogs/cats. Neither will Apple and ATT - that is, if you're so desperate to get it back to the original owner. Hand it to the police, they're not going to decode it and find the rightful owner for you. Honestly, there's no good way to do this. $30 worth of cans? Unless cans are worth like fifty cents in your state, that's like 600 cans.if she managed to leave with all those so easily, she must be a pro at collecting cans. This isn't my phone so I don't have any data except for what's on the phone itself. Sorry if this is a re-post, but all the other questions like this seem to be for people who have previously synced to their computers and can restore their last backup. Is there any kind of tool I can use to get into the phone's filesystem and/or view the contents? Obviously if the files are encrypted it's hopeless, but if they aren't, maybe I'll have some luck. I have no idea what OS is installed (although double-clicking the home button does NOT reveal the camera, so I'm guessing pre-5), and I believe trying to SSH with the wrong tool can destroy it. I know I could go the "easy" way and just take it to the Apple store or even AT&T, but if I could somehow "break in" or read some of the contact's phone numbers I might be able to figure out who it belongs to. I would love to be able to return the phone to its rightful owner (and yes, part of me is just curious to see if I can get into it). So, I bring the phone in the house and plug it in, and even though it's been raining, it turns on! Problem is, the screen is locked, and short of a DFU restore, I don't know how to unlock it. Well, it wasn't mine, but I guess since I was so nice with the cans, she just gave it to me. She said she found it in my ditch and thought I might have dropped it. I gave her probably $30 worth of cans, and then she pulls out what looked like an iPhone 4 or 4S and asks if its mine. ![]() ![]() I told her I had a bunch of cans she could have and had her come up to my house. I came home today to a lady picking up cans in the ditch in front of my house (I live outside of town and people litter on the way to/from the lake). I'll start by saying I admit this is a totally unbelievable story, so feel free to come up with your own theories, but it's really true: Okay, I know this question must exist somewhere, but I can't seem to come up with the right google query, so here goes. ![]()
