32bit-OTA-Downgrader

Downgrade 32-bit iOS devices to iOS 8.4.1 or iOS 6.1.3 (see supported devices below first!)

  • Please see "Other notes" below to serve as answers for FAQs

Prerequisites:

  • A supported 32-bit device jailbroken on any iOS version
  • iOS 8.4.1 or 6.1.3 IPSW for your device (the script can also download it for you)
  • A Linux install/live USB (see distros tested on below) (a live USB can be easily created with tools like balenaEtcher or Rufus)
  • macOS (tested on 10.13 and 10.14 only) should also work, but I won't be able to provide support when the script breaks
  • iOS 7/8 Pangu users: Install the latest Pangu 7.1.x Untether (deb) or latest Pangu 8.0-8.1.x Untether (deb)
  • iOS 9 and below users: Install OpenSSH; The computer and device must be on the same network for SSH to work
  • iOS 10 users: Install MTerminal

How to use:

  1. Download or git clone this repo
  2. Plug in your iOS device in normal mode
  3. Open Terminal, cd to the directory where the script is located (example: cd /home/user/32bit-OTA-Downgrader)
  4. Run chmod +x restore.sh
  5. Run ./restore.sh
  6. Select option to be used (8.4.1/6.1.3 downgrade)
  7. Follow instructions

Supported devices (iOS 8.4.1 downgrade):

  • All A5, A5X, A6, and A6X devices except iPhone 5C are supported

Supported devices (iOS 6.1.3 downgrade):

  • Only iPhone 4S and iPad 2 devices except iPad2,4 are supported

Other notes:

  • You do NOT need blobs to use this, the script will get them for you
  • This script can also be used to enter pwnDFU mode for all supported devices
  • This script will also restore your device to the latest baseband (N/A to devices with no baseband)
  • This script has a workaround for the activation error on iOS 10 devices
  • This script uses the futurerestore method for downgrading, NOT the Odysseus method nor modifying SystemVersion.plist
  • This script will use a vanilla/unmodified IPSW to restore
  • This script only uses iBSS patches from bundles for entering pwnDFU mode, NOT for creating a custom IPSW
  • This script should also work on virtual machines, but I won't provide support on them
