Two weeks ago, I accidently bought an iCloud locked cellular iPad 4 (P102AP) on local classifieds. There is not much things to do with an iCloud locked device, except playing with iOS low-level components or with the first screens of the setup application (setup.app).

I've heard and seen some videos about a home screen glitch in iOS 9.2.1 setup application. Setup.app is the application used to configure the device at first boot. The glitch is trigerred when doing a hard reset by pressing both power and home button while the device is changing its display language. When the device's boot sequence is almost finished, it will be possible to see the home screen for around a second then it will go back to the setup application.

The soundtrack of this video is a mix made by me with the following tracks :
A) Different Heaven - Nekozilla [NCS Release], youtube.com/watch?v=6FNHe3kf8_s
B) Jim Yosef - Firefly [NCS Release],
