## Other notes:
|

- **You do NOT need blobs to use this**, the script will get them for you

@ -52,21 +64,17 @@
|
||||
- Do not use USB-C to lightning cables as this can prevent a successful restore
|
||||
- checkm8 ipwndfu is unfortunately pretty unreliable, you may have to try multiple times (for Linux users I recommend trying in a live USB)
|
||||
- If the script can't find your device in pwnREC mode or gets stuck, you may have to start over
|
||||
- Other than the above there's not much else I can help regarding entering pwnDFU mode...
|
||||
- For 32-bit devices:
|
||||
- This script does not modify the IPSW
|
||||
- To devices with baseband, this script will restore your device with the latest baseband
|
||||
- This script has a workaround for the activation error on devices downgrading from iOS 10
|
||||
- This script can also be used to just enter kDFU mode for all supported devices
|
||||
- This script can also restore your device to other iOS versions with provided SHSH blobs
|
||||
- As alternatives to kloader/kDFU, checkm8 A5 or ipwndfu can also be used in DFU advanced menu
|
||||
- To enter DFU advanced menu, put your iOS device in DFU mode before running the script
|
||||
- This script does not modify the IPSW
|
||||
- This script can work on virtual machines, but I won't provide support for them
