Part 1. How to Unlock iPhone with Emergency Call Screen (Only for iOS 6.1)
Does Emergency Call Work to Unlock iPhone?
The answer to this question will vary depending on the iOS version running on the iPhone you need to unlock.
- If you are on an old iOS version, that is, iOS 6.1, the emergency call trick can help unlock your iPhone, this is a loophole Apple discovered and decided to fix in its later iOS versions.
- Therefore, if you have a more recent iOS version, the trick might not work for you.
Note
The trick will only allow you to gain access to the photos, phone dialer, and contacts. If you try to access other features of your iPhone, you will be taken back to the screen lock.
Steps to Unlock iPhone with Emergency Call Screen
Step 1: Slide to unlock your iPhone. Type any passcode. The passcode has to be wrong for this trick to work.
Step 2: Cancel the iPhone passcode screen. Again, slide to unlock, and instead of entering another passcode, tap the Emergency Call button. Hold the Power button until the turnoff slider appears.
Tap Cancel. You should notice that the taskbar available at the top of the iPhone screen changes to light blue.
Step 3: Dial 112 (an emergency number like 911), click the emergency call button and immediately after, click the Cancel button. Press the Power button< and release it immediately to turn off your iPhone screen.
Step 4: After the screen is off, press either the Home or the Power button to turn it on. Slide to unlock again. Hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds and then click the Emergency Call before the turnoff Slider appears on the screen. This should unlock the iPhone.
