If you erase all data or flash the Activation locked device, binding Apple ID account and password are required to activate iOS device. Otherwise, the device is not available.

What is Serial Number Matching?

What is Value Verified?

There are five items needed to be verified. iDevice’s UDID is generated by IMEI number, Serial number, WIi-Fi address and blutetooth address. Thus, if 3uTools detects the value is not verified, at least one item may be modified.
