 ## Other notes:
- If something in the process does not work for you, try switching USB ports and/or cables (also try using a USB 2.0 port)
+- **If something in the process does not work for you:** try unplugging/replugging the device, switching between different USB ports/cables, also try USB 2.0 ports
- This script will verify the IPSW SHA1 before restoring
+- **IPSW file integrity** will be verified before restoring and/or creating custom IPSW (if custom IPSW is already created, this will be skipped)
- For users having issues related to missing libraries or tools, re-install dependencies with `./restore.sh Install`
+- **For users having issues with missing libraries/tools:** Re-install dependencies with `./restore.sh Install`
  - Alternatively, delete the `libimobiledevice` or `libirecovery` folder in `resources` then run the script again
- For A7 devices:
+- **For A7 devices:**
  - 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, also try in a live USB)
-  - If the script can't find your device in pwnREC mode or gets stuck, you may have to start over
+  - If the script cannot find your device in pwnREC mode or gets stuck, you may have to start over by hard-resetting and re-entering recovery/DFU mode
  - Use an Intel PC/Mac as entering pwnDFU (checkm8) may be a lot more unreliable on AMD devices
  - Other than the above, unfortunately there's not much else I can do to help regarding entering pwnDFU mode.
- For 32-bit devices:
+- **For 32-bit devices:**
  - To make sure that SSH is successful, try these steps: Reinstall OpenSSH/Dropbear, reboot and rejailbreak, then reinstall them again
  - To devices with baseband, this script will restore your device with the latest baseband (except when jailbreak is enabled, and on iPhone5,1 as there are reported issues)
  - This script can also be used to just enter kDFU mode for all supported devices
  - 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 can work on virtual machines, but I won't provide support for them
+  - This script can work on virtual machines, but I will not provide support for them
-  - If you want to use manually saved blobs for 6.1.3/8.4.1, create a folder named `saved`, then within it create another folder named after your ProductType (example: `iPad2,1`). You can then put your blob inside that folder.
+  - If you want to use other manually saved blobs for 6.1.3/8.4.1, create a folder named `saved`, then within it create another folder named `shsh`. You can then put your blob inside that folder.
-    - The naming should be: `(ECID in Decimal)_(ProductType)_(Version)-(BuildVer).shsh(2)`
+    - The naming of the blob should be: `(ECID in Decimal)_(ProductType)_(Version)-(BuildVer).shsh(2)`
-    - Example: `123456789012_iPad2,1_8.4.1-12H321.shsh`
+    - Example with path: `saved/shsh/123456789012_iPad2,1_8.4.1-12H321.shsh`
- For jailbreak option:
+- **For the jailbreak option (iOS 6.1.3 and 8.4.1):**
  - If you have problems with Cydia, remove the ultrasn0w repo and close Cydia using the app switcher, then try opening Cydia again
-  - If you can't find Cydia in your home screen, try accessing Cydia through Safari with `cydia://` and install "Jailbreak App Icons Fix" package ([Cydia repo](https://lukezgd.github.io/repo/))
+  - If you cannot find Cydia in your home screen, try accessing Cydia through Safari with `cydia://` and install "Jailbreak App Icons Fix" package from my Cydia repo
- For jailbreak option (on iOS 8.4.1 downgrades only):
+- **For the jailbreak option (iOS 8.4.1 only):**
  - Stashing is already enabled and `nosuid` is removed from `fstab`, so no need to install "Stashing for #etasonJB" package
-  - To fix LaunchDaemons not loading on startup, install "Infigo" package ([Cydia repo](https://lukezgd.github.io/repo/))
+  - To fix tweaks (LaunchDaemons) not loading on startup, install "Infigo" package from my Cydia repo
