Being impatient and stubborn, I decided to use 3uTools to flash the phone in an attempt to bypass this issue. While I was successful in resetting the phone, it is still linked to the previous account and now I can't use the phone at all without the previous owner's iCloud details, which I still don't have access to.
I'm just wondering if there's anything I could do from here in order to somehow get into the phone and then avoid this iCloud issue?
Thanks guys.
