iCloud lock removal by hardware replacement possible?

"You cannot “replace a few chips” to remove an iCloud lock nor can you reprogram these chips. If it was that easy, the market would be flooded with iCloud UNlocked devices and iPhone theft would be a rampant problem.

On GSM/LTE iPads, there is a hardware “fix” that unlocks them but they can be used as WiFi-only devices and updating them to the latest iOS usually renders them back to a locked state. Apple has done it’s homework here and made iCloud Lock essentially impenetrable. The only known exception is when an internal Apple employee sells GSX access to unlock the device but that’s a different barrel of fish.

Essentially, the CPU/NAND/Baseband CPU and EEPROM are all tied together with a secure code. While you can reprogram the NAND, there is no such access to the CPU or Baseband CPU. Therefore, the only way to make a logic board unlocked is to transfer those IC’s from a non locked board…that’s a whole lot of work for nothing as you haven’t made anything new, you risk damaging both boards (this is a very difficult repair with low success rates) and it would have been easier to just transfer the unlocked board in the first place.

Unfortunately, in regards to iCloud locked boards, you can’t make something out of nothing."

"Apple forbids minor to create an account on their products. Take the phone in say your kid lied and started account using their service. By law assuming you are a parent, they have to remove the account associated with the phone.

Or not I don’t know. I like to hack things and the i-phone is my biggest enemy when it is cloud locked. There really is no way to get around it. Unless you have inside help. Or you think out side the box. :)"

Does the cpu store icloud lock on it and would the new cpu need to be reprogrammed before installing the new one on the logic board because I have a iPhone 6 that's icloud locked im trying to find ways to unlock by hardware some people said I would need a new cpu and then reprogram the cpu to the board I'm not sure if that's true but also the a new logic board for iPhone 6 is quite expensive
