🧩 What is this?

This tool is designed for iCloud-locked 32-bit iOS devices running iOS 5–9.
It uses an SSH Ramdisk, loaded via Legacy iOS Kit, to patch system files and simulate activation.
No activation files are required — everything is done directly via SSH.

• Works only on 32-bit devices (iPhone 4, 4s, 5; iPad 2/3/4; iPad mini 1; iPod touch 4/5).
• Does not support 64-bit devices (iPhone 5s and newer).
• This does not remove iCloud lock, it only bypasses the activation screen. Signal will not work.
