IPhone – Retrieving apps and Music from 2 iCloud accounts to one iPhone

You can do this by signing out of that iCloud account. Open the Settings.app and go to iCloud. Then select "Delete Account". Not to worry, this doesn't delete any information from your device, as long as you choose "Keep on iPhone" after signing out of that iCloud account. It will display a prompt after you select "Delete Account", and give you the option of keeping iCloud contacts, calendars, and such on your phone. Like I just mentioned, you will want to select "Keep on iPhone" when facing this prompt. After signing out of iCloud, create an Apple ID (there should be a way on the iPhone itself), and sign into it.

As a side note, unfortunately, you will likely have to purchase any music, or apps, again, that were purchased on his Apple ID. The apps that were purchased with his Apple ID will continue to function, but you will no longer be able to update them, and consequently, the need will likely arise that you will need to purchase them again.

In short:

• you will need your friend to activate your phone at the Activation Screen during set up. The place you are stuck on.

• After that, reset the device by going to Settings > General > Reset.

• It will ask for your friends Apple ID details. Enter them.

• Once the phone has been reset, tell your friend to remove it from their Find my iPhone account.

• Restart the device and now finally register it under your own Apple ID.

Activation is a separate process. The device is still registered under your friend's Apple ID. And you are simply registered to use your Apple ID on the device. This is what you're getting hung up on. Resetting the device will allow you to activate it (register the device) under your own Apple ID. Signing out of your friends Apple ID in Settings does no affect device registration.

And of note: If anyone may be attempting to bypass Activation Lock fraudulently or under false pretences, this cannot be done. Apple binds registration of the device to their servers. What that means is Apple will chase that device whenever it is connected to the Internet till the ends of time. Unless you can hack into Apple's servers, there is absolutely no way to bypass Activation Lock.
