Legacy iOS Kit

Features

  • Legacy iOS Kit supports all 32-bit iOS devices, and some 64-bit (A7/A8/A9/A10/A11) devices
    • Devices that received iOS 16 and newer will only have limited functionality (such as sideload on Linux etc.)
    • For S5L8900 devices (iPhone 2G, 3G, touch 1), some features like SSH ramdisk are not available
  • Restore to signed OTA versions (iOS 8.4.1 and/or 6.1.3) on A5/A6 devices
  • Restore to iOS 10.3.3 (signed OTA version) on supported A7 devices
  • Restore supported devices to unsigned versions with SHSH blobs

    • Includes downgrading iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS, iPhone 4 GSM and CDMA, iPod touch 1, 2, 3, iPad 1
    • "without" is in quotes because powdersn0w uses iOS 5/7 blobs for touch 3 and A4 devices, but it is signed for everyone to use
    • Other devices however are true blobless
  • Tethered downgrades/restores to supported iOS versions for A5(X)/A6(X) and some other 32-bit devices

  • Dumping and stitching baseband to IPSW (requires --disable-bbupdate)
  • Dumping and stitching activation records to IPSW (requires --activation-records)
  • Data Management - Backup and restore, mount device, erase all content and settings
