We can't help you. Apple WON'T help you. Your "friend" is the only one who can help you. The phone is Activation Locked and until your friend removes the phone from his account, you are the proud owner of a useless brick you can never use.


Send your "friend" this link --> What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If he is unwilling or unable to do what is required, the phone can't be used. In that case, your "friend" needs to give you your money back.
