## Prerequisites:
|
|
- **A supported device in any iOS version:**
|
|
- A 32-bit iOS device (**jailbreak needed** for kloader, checkm8 A5 or ipwndfu can also be used in DFU advanced menu)
|
|
- An A7 device (jailbreak not needed)
|
|
- An IPSW for the version you want to downgrade to (the script can also download it for you)
|
|
- A **macOS** or a **64-bit Linux install/live USB**
|
|
- See supported Linux distros below
|
|
- A live USB can be easily created with tools like [balenaEtcher](https://www.balena.io/etcher/) or [Rufus](https://rufus.ie/))
|
|
- All 32-bit users must install [OpenSSH](https://cydia.saurik.com/package/openssh/)
|
|
- A6/A6X iOS 10 users must install [Dropbear (deb)](https://github.com/LukeZGD/iOS-OTA-Downgrader-Keys/releases/download/tools/Dropbear.deb) as well
|
|
- For 32-bit users using Pangu, install the [latest Pangu 7.1.x Untether (deb)](http://apt.saurik.com/debs/io.pangu.axe7_0.3_iphoneos-arm.deb) or [latest Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether (deb)](http://apt.saurik.com/debs/io.pangu.xuanyuansword8_0.5_iphoneos-arm.deb)
|
|
1. [Download](https://github.com/LukeZGD/iOS-OTA-Downgrader/archive/master.zip) or `git clone` this repo
|
|
2. Open Terminal and `cd` to the directory where the script is located (example: `cd /home/user/iOS-OTA-Downgrader`)
|
|
3. Run `chmod +x restore.sh`
|
|
|
|
## How to use:
|
|
1. Plug in your iOS device
|
|
2. Run `./restore.sh`
|
|
3. Select option to be used
|
|
4. Follow instructions
|
|
|
|
## Other notes:
|
|
- **You do NOT need blobs to use this**, the script will get them for you
|
|
- If the restore process does not work for you, try switching USB ports and/or cables
|
|
- This script will verify the IPSW SHA1sum before restoring
|
|
- For users having issues related to missing libraries or tools, re-install dependencies with `./restore.sh Install`
|
|
- 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 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
|
|
- 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
|
|
- This script can work on virtual machines, but I won't provide support for them
|
|
|
