@ -64,8 +64,12 @@ For 32-bit devices compatible with restores/downgrades (see README):
- Newer models may not work with downgrades below iOS 5
- If your device is not compatible as mentioned above, you will get the error `could not retrieve device serial number`
- You can use sites like [Reincubate](https://reincubate.com/lookup) to check whether your device is compatible or not
- It is recommended to use an Intel PC/Mac as entering pwnDFU can be a lot more unreliable on devices running AMD CPUs (this includes encountering `Segmentation fault` errors with ipwnder)
- You NEED a working Home and Top/Power button to enter proper DFU mode in order to use powdersn0w on iPhone 4. kDFU mode will NOT work!
- A workaround for the `cannot find serial number` error is to place an iOS 6 iBEC into the iOS 5 (or older?) IPSW. For example, create 6.1.3 and 5.1.1 IPSWs. Extract the 6.1.3 iBEC in `Firmware/dfu` and place it in the 5.1.1 IPSW. This does not guarantee that it will work, but I will put this info here just in case.
# Notes for iPad 1 powdersn0w
- These might also apply to iPod touch 3.
- Before downgrading to 4.3.x, make sure to downgrade to 5.0 first. idk why this is needed but it works. So it's something like this: 5.1.1 -> 5.0 -> 4.3.x
- If it still gets stuck in recovery mode after the restore to 4.3.x, try going to: Other Utilities -> Disable/Enable Exploit -> Enable exploit
## macOS
- macOS users have to install bash, libimobiledevice, and libirecovery from [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/) or [MacPorts](https://www.macports.org/). This is optional, but recommended.
