      Everything worked until I had to open checkra1n. When I open the boot menu and click F12, it came up with a message saying to that the USB wasn’t available and to try and connect it again! How can I fix this if the USB is already in? My laptop is a HP Pro x2, could that be the reason?
      Please get back to me soon,
      Thanks, Scott

      Got it jailbroken and everything but when I got back to the UnlockGo app to turn off FMI, it wants me to jailbreak over and over again even though its already jailbroken. I’m ready for the next step to actually remove FMI.

      • Paul Jones Paul Jones says:

        Hi Asbel, we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Can you please tell us your order number? And can you please tell us your iPhone model and iOS version?

    • Avatar Adam B says:

      I get it jailbroken and everything but once I try to run FMI on the software it just wants me to jailbreak it again. I’ve done it a couple times now and I’m just in an endless loop. I’ve got an iPhone 7 on 12.1.2. Do I need to update or go use another software?

      • Paul Jones Paul Jones says:

        Hi Adam, we’re sorry for the inconvenience caused to you. Do you mean that you want to turn off FMI with UnlockGo? This feature supports iPhone 6s-iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 13.0-14.8.
