My iPhone is Disabled! How Do I Fix it Without iTunes? Video Lecture - IT & Software

My iPhone is disabled!
How do I fix it without iTunes?
If it is disabled because you failed too many
times with the passcode lock, you can't reconnect
without restoring it via iTunes.
And when I recover it that way, I lose all
my files not already backed up to iTunes or
the cloud.
It can be frustrating how Apple requires you
to use iTunes to restore and defaults to connecting
to iTunes when the phone is in recover mode.
And if the phone is disabled and you can't
connect to iTunes, that's a problem.
Why might I not be able to connect to iTunes?
You might not have a wi-fi connection, or
might not want to use a public wi-fi to restore
your phone.
You might have a bad connection, or the phone
may have damaged its antenna.
My iPhone doesn't have an antenna.
The antenna is built into the case.
If you dropped it and the antenna broke, it
won't connect to iTunes.
Are there any other options?
You could connect the phone to a computer
and try to restore it through the computer's
connection to iTunes.
Or leave it to a genius.
I though you were good with technology, which
is why I am asking you.
I meant one of the geniuses at the Apple store.
They even call their tech support group the
Genius bar.
Are there any other ways to remote in and
fix the phone?
If you have the Find My iPhone function activated
on the iPhone, you'll be able to do a remote
wipe of the device.
Then restore the phone from the iCloud.
But it has to have already had that function
set up before I can use it.
And you have to have an iCloud account, as
well as iOS 10.7.5 or a later version.
I haven't heard of that function before.
It's usually used to put an activation lock
on the phone after you run the remote wipe,
so that someone who steals the phone doesn't
have your data or a usable phone to sell.
I'm going to have to go to an Apple phone,
because I don't have a useable phone at all.
