Wich version is this iPhone 6 running? Discussion
Got this iPhone 6 from a coworker and i'm guessing iOS 9 because the clock font is newer than the iOS 8 one, and it's also thinner than the iOS 10 one. Is it worth restoring?

if it's on 9.3.4 or below u can get an untethered jailbreak (iOS 9 goes up to 9.3.6)

9.3.6 is only for cellular A5 devices, for everything else the latest version of 9 is 9.3.5

9.x.x, kinda rare for an iPhone 6. Get the screen fixed first then do the Same iOS Wipe (if FMI off) or backup the ticket then Same iOS Wipe (if FMI ON)

I´ll try to get a cheap screen for it. Sadly it´s FMI on and the former owner doesn´t remember the account it´s linked to, but she might remember the passcode wich I would be able to see the account it has on, and she might still know the password to disable FMI (she has many icloud accounts, and just don´t remember wich one this device is in)

Don't worry about the FMI. If you get the tickets out the FMI problem is good. However to do the Same iOS Wipe you should know if the phone is jbroken or not, since this has the same mechanism of "Erase All Contents and Settings" so it may encounter problems with jailbroken devices.

I'm sure it's not jailbroken as she's just a normal user. My plan is to fix it, try to disable FMI if she still remembers the password and just erase the device in settings.

If she still remember the password then congrats! My practice applies best in the most common case is users really forget the Apple ID of those old devices. Let me know if there is any further problems.

yeah it may be worth restoring if you can get a screen for cheap, you can play older (32bit support) games and iOS 9 will run great with good battery life

From the photo and the comments, it’s iOS 9
Install legacy iOS kit, enter ssh ramdisk, erase content iOS 9+

Did it but iTunes won´t show any info if the device is passcode locked. Tried DFU too but it still won´t show any info

It’s… running…? Hmmm. Must be a cracked version.. not what I recall mine looking like 😜 appears to be an iOS 9.xxx but you can verify that with iTunes if you’re comfortable hooking it up to your computer.

I connected it to itunes but as it's passcode locked and, well, I can't put any passcode on it it won't show any info, but I figured it's iOS 9 because of the clock font and I can still can somehow "slide to unlock" to the passcode screen

The native iOS for 6 was what? 8? My 6S+ came with 9.3.3…

Either iOS 9 or 10 I can’t tell which version this is past that. But I can tell you it’s (kinda) rare
