It is crucial to use these tools responsibly. Unlocking a device to bypass an should only be done on devices you legally own. Bypassing security features on a lost or stolen device is likely against the law. Additionally, many of these tools require you to put your device into a special mode (like DFU mode), which, if not done correctly, can potentially brick your device or compromise your data.

No. Never OTA update after a bypass. It will re-enable the Activation Lock and often brick the bypass method permanently.
