How to prevent Remote Wipe if iPhone is still offline

I thought I lost my iPhone 5s, so I blocked and told iCloud to erase it the next time it connects.
Now that I found it, I know that as soon as it gets internet connection, all my information will be gone.
For my luckiness, it is turned off, and furthermore it has received neither wifi nor internet connection. (My phone provider had turned off data before I lost it.)
So, I know my information is still alive.
Now that I found it, I want to backup everything before the unavoidable happens (reseting).
Is there any way that I can stop the remote wipe from happening?

Defective iPhone 5/ How do I know if my iphone is still under warranty?

Basically, just a few days ago I started experiencing a problem with my Sleep/Wake button and I noticed that it only works when pressed on the far left side. If I were to go to the Apple Store to try and it replaced, how can I tell if my iPhone is still under warranty and if they will replace it before driving all the way over to the Apple Store? (which is about 2 hours away from me.)

So basically I have warranty (can get my iPhone replaced) until this date?

How exactly does "remote wipe" via Mobile Me work?

In a moment of curiosity I decided to enjoy the new features of Mobile Me for the iPhone's 3.0 software. I tried the locate phone function, worked great. I then decided to try the remote wipe functionality of the website. I had the phone right in front of me, so I figured I'd see how it worked.
I initiated the process (with my phone sitting on my desk in front of me) and the phone within an instance turned off and went to the Apple logo. It stayed on the Apple logo for a few seconds and then turned off. At which point I received an email stating that the remote wipe process had been initiated at 4:23pm (PST) yesterday.
Unsure how long the process took I let the phone sit for 4 hours. I went to turn it on, same thing: Apple logo for 10 seconds and the phone turned off. I figured it was low on battery (despite having a full charge prior to the remote wipe) so I docked it while plugged into my machine. (Apple logo for 10 seconds and the phone turned off)
Fast forward to 10:23am PST this morning (18 hours later) and I'm still dealing with the same thing.
Anyone else try the remote wipe feature? Have any success? I'm inclined to believe that the phone isn't going to wake up at this point. But I was curious if anyone else shared in my curiosity.

Use these instructions and you're phone will be back in service asap:
1. Wake your iphone up so you see the apple logo
2. Hold down the power button (the one on top) and the home button until the screen goes black.
3. This turns the phone off, don't keep holding the button or the phone will restart
4. Now that the phone is off, press and hold the home button
5. While holding the home button connect your phone back to your computer, continue to hold the home button until itunes says it has found a phone that needs to be restored.
6. restore phone
Basically your just turning the phone off and putting it in force recovery mode

Remote Wipe with iPhone without exchange server

Hello All
I have a question about the new "remote wipe" feature in the iPhone 2.0 software upgrade. I like the idea of it for security reasons in case the phone gets taken, but I am a private individual without access to an enterprise server. I do have a "mobile me" account - and was wondering if it was possible to do a 'remote wipe" without an exchange server either as a mobile me member or in some other way? It would let me feel more comfortable carrying around my original iPhone with more data.
Anyone know how this will work?
In case it matters, I have an iPhone 8GB.

I guess my question is that from my understanding "mobile me" is a fake enterprise server service, exchange for the rest of us. So that's why it would seem to be a natural link if they're able to do push email, calendars, etc. then it seems that we would not need to have a separate APP in order to do a remote wipe. But I don't know how it technically works.

How to disable remote wipe option for mobile devices

Hi,
I have integrated environment of SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows Intune. I am managing Windows phone, Android and IOS devices through this setup. I was trying find an option to disable remote wipe option in the SCCM Console. Only selective wipe should be available.
Can you please help me on how to configure this setting.
Regards
Leela

I got the below response from the micososft intune team.
"Issue Definition: Cx would like remote wipe disabled
in the Admin console.
Scope Agreement: Disable remote wipe feature from account.
You will not be able to block this feature using Microsoft Intune. System
Center Configuration Manager might be able to control this feature. You
might consider opening a case with their team.
The other thing to consider, is to limit the amount of Admin users you have.
Anyone that is given Admin rights in Microsoft Intune will have the ability to
use the wipe feature. "
I have raised a ticket with SCCM 2012 team, awaiting their response.
Regards
Leela

The passcode lock code at the iPhone 4 was broken into by a program from Internet. ( By connecting the phone to a PC that program tells the passcode) Does someone knows how to prevent unauthorized opening of iPhone? How to secure the passcode ?

My daughter has an iPhone 4 secured with passcode lock. A visitor in their house took her unattended iPhone, connected to the PC, from a certain program got her pascode and did open her phone to go through her private messages. Does someone knows how to prevent this? How to secure the Phone from unauthorized opening?
Thanks in advance for all suggestions!!!

Hi igmusla,
It seems someone has stolen your daughters phone there is an application called FindMyiPhone if she had location services on and the thief hasn't disabled it you can possibly track the phone down. Sadly you cannot stop the thief from gaining access to her phone and personal information. Please report your phone stolen to your local police station and call Apple aswell, they can possibly put a lock on your phone aswell as put it into a carrier block which prevents the thief from calling anyone or putting a new sim card in it.

How can I remotely wipe a stolen iPhone?

I lost my iPhone and I want to either retrieve it or better yet, just wipe the phone. Anyone know where / how I can accomplish this?

No. iCloud and Find my iPhone need to be on prior to loss.

help
my iphone has been stolen i did the auto erase online but my phone is offline pending erase i cant bare to think someone has acces to my phots and pictures. how will i know when the erase has been succesful

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:
Your calendars are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone

Remote Wipe of iPhone

Apple allow Exchange Admins to wipe iPhones when will we get that feature in OS X server or Apple Remote Desktop or both ?

Hi
True. But that does not devalue the product IMO? It's presumptuous to assume everyone knows Kerio has this feature. Some reading these boards may not even be aware of the product at all.
As you know the best way to get Apple's attention is to use their feedback:

Is there any way to stop a remote wipe on iPhone 4 via iCloud?

I lost my phone and thought it was stolen so i put a wipe on it, however it was offline so it is still pending. I just recently found my phone so i was wondering if there was a way to stop the pending wipe? THANKS FOR ANY COMMENTS!!

I need an answer to this question also. My i phone was stolen. I panicked and did the wipe option. Now I regret it because there is no way to track my phone now. I hope someone finds a way to undo the wipe.
