12 hours I tried to get iTunes to restore an iPad with a locked passcode screen. Apple couldn't help. I read all the stuff online about hosts file editing etc. None of it worked. FoneGeek or Fone Geek worked the second time I used it. The first time it didn't do anything because the iPad was not in DFU mode. I was amazed, it took 10 mins, couldn't believe it when the strip appeared on the iPad as the process went on, I was sure it would brick it or fall at the final hurdle. If my experience is typical, it works. I have not tried it for anything other than remove forgotten passcode lock (but it might work to remove Activation Locks if you have forgotten your iCloud/FindMyIp... credentials. I got the app free in a giveaway years ago and it came in handy now. (It was not a crack, it was a genuine giveaway from a giveaway site.)
