How to Update iOS with MDM

It is possible to push iOS update MDM without losing your new status. Once you have successfully removed iOS MDM configuration profile and can finally use a corporate iDevice outside of office without any limits, you can also keep this bypass active while upgrading to newer version of Apple iOS firmware. Here is what you should do:

Step 1. Once you have used the iActivate program and bypassed MDM profile lock on your iPhone or iPad you should use iTunes or iBackupbot to create a backup copy of your iDevice.

Step 2. Download the most recent iOS (it works on iOS 10, 11, future 12 etc.) via iTunes or download firmware with iTunes and upgrade manually on your computer. It is best to install the newest mobile firmware on your gadget via desktop Apple tool.

Step 3. Install the newer iOS version.

Step 4. Since your phone is no longer running the previous firmware (on which you bypassed MDM lock with iActivate), your MDM configuration profile is back on the phone. You are locked again. Don’t worry. You’ll force iOS update and unlock MDM once again now.

Step 5. The update will force your iPhone or iPad to restore.

Step 6. As soon as the phone is restored you will see the option in Summary to Recover device from backup via Restore Backup. This is exactly what you need.

Step 7. Select the backup file (make sure you choose the one created on the device with bypassed MDM profile).

Step 8. Wait till your phone restores from the backup.

Step 9. Now your phone or tablet device is officially updated to the newest iOS software version and it is absolutely not limited to mobile device management system. It is unlocked again.
