PhoneToolkit · Pro Desktop
The macOS toolkit for licensed phone refurbishers.
Built originally for KAKEL Store's own returns and orphan queue, now licensed to other refurb shops. Carrier-orphan SIM unlock, iPhone DFU recovery, blacklist intelligence, and audit-grade evidence export — in one signed Mac app.
What's in the kit
- Carrier xlsx import (AT&T) → orphan queue across techs
- Samsung SIM unlock chain — NCK service-call, SNR sibling lookup, secret-code playbooks
- MTK BROM partition dump for chipsets where userdata wipe is the unlock
- iPhone DFU / Recovery restore (idevicerestore + libimobiledevice)
- Activation Lock detection via Hello-screen observation + cfgutil (roadmap)
- Cross-reference of every device against KAKEL's blacklist + Companion APK records
- Evidence-bundle PDF generation for Apple Support / carrier escalation
- Local SQLite + optional cloud sync (Pro Plus)
Supported devices
- SamsungExynos + MTK + Qualcomm — NCK chain + service codes
- Apple iPhoneDFU restore + Activation Lock observation
- MediaTek-basedBROM-mode userdata wipe
What PhoneToolkit will NOT do
- — iCloud / Activation Lock bypass — not possible. We detect and document.
- — Samsung Odin write protocol — hit a vendor wall; no on-device flashing on modern Exynos yet.
- — FRP bypass on Android 14+ — requires owner credentials. We do not market workarounds.
Who PhoneToolkit is for
Licensed dealers and authorized repair operations that process volume — typically 50+ devices/month — and need a defensible audit trail across techs.
Refurb operations
You buy returned/orphaned lots from carriers and need to clear them before resale.
Repair chains
Multi-location shops that want one consistent toolset across technicians with a shared records database.
E-com returns processors
Reverse-logistics operations that need to verify, unlock, wipe, and document devices for re-listing.
