[Restore offline] Can't restore without an Internet Connection

**JSN1** · 05-11-2008 10:14 PM

Hi!

Sometimes I need to restore an iPhone that is on recovery mode, but I have no Internet connection, so it won't let me restore the iPhone until I get online again...

Someone knows how to do or bypass this check?

Thanks.

you can,(h)activate it ,then when it's activated you can restore at will, i ungraded all my iphones on the train home when i had to upgrade them from 113 to 114 and unlock.
