If you’re trying to turn off "Find My iPhone" (FMI) and perform a factory reset using HYPER AIO, here’s a complete step-by-step guide designed for you. Whether you're a technician or just doing it for your own device, follow along carefully!


Step 1: Remove SIM & eSIM

First things first — take out your physical SIM card and make sure eSIM is removed too.
This ensures there are no interruptions from network carriers during the process.


Step 2: Connect to Wi-Fi

Now, connect your iPhone to a strong and stable Wi-Fi network.
(No mobile data is needed — just Wi-Fi!)


Step 3: Get ECID Number (FREE)

Go to e-unlock.com and get your device’s ECID number for free.
You’ll need this for FMI removal. It usually starts with "0x" followed by numbers/letters.


Step 4: Clear iCloud Data

Open iCloud settings and remove all personal data:

  • Apps
  • Photos
  • Files
  • Anything backed up to iCloud

Clean slate = smooth process.


Step 5: Open Game Center

Now, go to Settings > Game Center.
Make sure it's turned ON.
Then:
Turn it OFF and ON five times (yes, 5 times!).
This step is important for syncing internal processes.


Step 6: Airplane Mode Time

Right after the 5th toggle, and while Game Center is ON, quickly switch to Airplane Mode.
This cuts all wireless connections instantly — important for the next step.


Step 7: Use HYPER AIO - Click "FMI OFF"

Open the HYPER AIO software.
Click the button that says “FMI OFF” and let the magic happen.
Wait until it says: "REMOVED"


Step 8: Check FMI Status

After you see "REMOVED", double-check your device’s FMI status online or through the tool.
You should see:
FMI: OFF

Only move forward if this is confirmed.


Step 9: Factory Reset the Device

Back in HYPER AIO, click the "Factory Reset" button.
