How to put old firmware on iPhone. How to find out if Apple signs firmware

When it's time to go home.

Almost a month ago, Apple released the first test version of iOS 10 for developers. An impressive amount, a partially redesigned interface and a number of new functions - all this still works with significant bugs and the language is not called stable.

In iOS 10. Make sure your contacts, calendars, reminders, and notes are in sync with iCloud. Put the appropriate switches in paragraph Settings -\u003e iCloud. So you can restore the entire address book and the current state of the listed applications after installing iOS 9.3.2.


Sync snapshots with cloud storage (if you haven’t done it before) by opening Settings -\u003e iCloud   and enable the slider ICloud Media Library.

How to roll back with iOS 10. Clean install

Before starting the firmware downgrade procedure, make sure that in Settings - iCloud   function disabled Find iPhone.


Otherwise, iTunes will refuse to complete the installation process.


1.   Connect your iOS device to iTunes and back up.


2.   Open the IPSW website and select your device model by selecting the current firmware version (such OSs are highlighted in green).


3.   Wait for the download to finish, then in iTunes, select your iOS device. Tab Overview   hold down the OPTION key (Shift for Windows) and tap on the item Restore iPhone.

How to roll back from iOS 10. With saving settings and data

All the steps described above are fully consistent with the principle of installing iOS 9.3.2 with saving data and settings except paragraph 3.

When choosing the firmware, hold down Option (Shift for Windows) and tap on the item Refresh. During the update, you will need to unlock the device to update.

This upgrade option may be extremely unstable, so it’s preferable to still choose “pure downgrade”.

iOS 7 on iPhone 4 can only please a very undemanding user. The system works slowly, the iron works at the limit of its modest (today) capabilities and its resources for third-party applications are almost not enough. As a result - delays, brakes, crashes, etc. attributes of the new system on the old iPhone. At first, Apple retained the ability to roll back to iOS 6, then they closed the bench. Except that...

iFaith and saved SHSH blobs from iOS 6.1.3 are a recipe for a successful downgrade. What we need to create a miracle:

● iPhone 4 on iOS 7. The newer iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch, or iPad will not work.

● The iFaith utility from the famous iH8sn0w,. Only works on Windows.

● SHSH blobs from iOS 6.1.3 or earlier. There is no full confidence, but you need to try.

ITunes backups are not backward compatible. That is, after downgrading to iOS 6 it will not be possible to restore the state of your iPhone 4 from a backup of iOS 7. Those applications that are synchronized with iCloud (if enabled, Calendar, Notes, Reminders) will be restored after flashing. With third-party programs, everything is individual. Pictures can be manually transferred to a computer or saved to the Dropbox cloud. Voice recorder audio - transfer to a computer or send it to yourself by mail.

● Make a backup in iTunes or iCloud - it will not be redundant.

● iTunes version 11.0.5 or lower. First you need to uninstall your current iTunes, then download the old version of the program from the link below and install. After a successful downgrade on iOS 6, you can update iTunes:

How to roll back iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 6:

1. We check whether all the preparatory steps described above are completed. Particular attention to data storage.

2. Connect the iPhone 4 to the computer with a native (or 100% working) cable.

3. Open iFaith and click on the "OK" button:


4. Click on the button "Show Available SHSH Caches on Server":


5. The program will ask if you want to use the connected device. Click "Yes" to continue.

6. Three options will be offered. Select the third one in the list - "Show list of available SHSH blobs on TSS server (s)":


7. The program will show all SHSH blobs from Cydia servers. If you previously saved SHSH blobs using iFaith, they will also be available:


8. Select the appropriate file for firmware 6.1.3 and wait for “Download selected blob (s)". The program will ask you to specify where to save the file on your computer. Save to the desktop.

9. The program will notify you when SHSH blobs for iOS 6.1.3 are downloaded, click "OK". It will also be reported that the file verification was successful. Click OK again.

Your iPhone 4 now works on iOS 6.1.3!

Downgrade instructions for iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 6 were borrowed from iPhoneHacks. In the near future we will verify the method personally and record the video instruction in Russian.

Hello. This new iOS8 came out and thanks to my curiosity I quickly updated ...

What can I say, I’ve not seen anything so direct and terribly useful in it.

For that I managed to notice the nuances that annoy me:
1. Safari - PPC works how strange ...
1.1. I don’t like how the tabs disappear when scrolling the page ...
1.2. I don’t like that now it was impossible to close all the tabs, one remained on any one - that didn’t suit me if I had site shortcuts on the Home screen and I clicked on them, that open tab and the site itself with a shortcut would open ...
2. Keyboard - I can’t accurately describe what’s wrong with her, but somehow it’s malfunctioning ... Or maybe I'm buggy ...
3. There was no VK for iPad mini and the site was saved as a shortcut to the Home screen. So now, when viewing a VC, the clock, battery status, network - all this is hanging in black text on top (well, I’m probably just finding fault with it because in 7.1.2 there’s just a black bar in the VK and no text is visible).
4. When you double-click the buttons - these are LAST CONTACTS (or whatever they are), you could remove them ...

Liked:
1. Panorama in the camera
2. Fast response by swiping down when an incoming message

In general, without these "nishtyakov" of the 8th iOS, I will somehow live \u003d)

Now about the case:

2. I activated my computer in iTunes in the Store to save all the programs and games with BackUp:



3. I made 2 BackUp`a (I’m safe), as my wife’s iPhone is still hanging out on my computer, and the blunt “Tuna” does not inspire confidence in me.
BackUp made on the computer and in iCloud.

4. Transferred iPad to DFU mode. The sequence of actions is as follows: hold the lock button for 3 seconds; without releasing the lock button, press the Home button for 10 seconds; while holding the Home button, release the lock button. Continue to hold the button for 30 seconds.©

5. When a message appeared that Tuna discovered the iPad in a recovery state, I clicked "OK". Then I pressed Shift (I have a PC on Windows) and clicked on the "Restore iPad" button

6. I chose the firmware that I downloaded in paragraph number 1 of this post.

8. When there is the Restore data item, we can choose from Tuna or with iCloud. Three times I tried to recover data from tuna, but as I wrote in paragraph 3 (about the wife’s iPhone), Tuna somehow restored my wife’s BackUp to me and didn’t offer anything else ... As a result, I made backup with iCloud.

9. After BackUp, all the programs appear on your device but they are downloaded in a new way.
Well, in the AppStore updates hang on half of them, so after all the programs get up, go to the AppStore and update those that ask for updates.

10. Well, that's all :))) I'm back with 7.1.2


P.s .:
And someone wrote to me that rollback is impossible ...

I don’t understand what kind of “signature” is there somewhere at Apple for two days during which I can have time to roll back ...
"Contrary to established tradition, Apple has not stopped signing the old firmware after the release of the new OS. Even two days after the release of iOS 8, users have the opportunity to" roll back "to the previous version of iOS 7.1.2. Usually, Apple stops issuing digital signatures after 1- 2 hours after the final release of the new OS. "©
On iOS8, I updated on Monday (September 15), and BackUp did it only today ... And everything got right.

QUESTION:
Maybe someone knows how to remove the notification about the availability of a new version of iOS from the Settings icon?

Thank you all for your attention. Regards, DIREN.

Most often, problems with the iPhone and iPad for users arise after updating to a new version of iOS. Often such problems cannot be fixed, after which the question arises of rolling back to the previous version of the firmware. In this guide, we’ll show you how to find out in the simplest way which latest version of iOS and other operating systems Apple is still signing.

Why find out

Not everyone knows, but you can’t roll back your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to any previous version of iOS. Apple stops signing old firmware some time after the latest updates. Apple does this for security reasons, as in the new versions of iOS, the company's engineers fix various critical vulnerabilities that pose a real threat to the personal data of users. In older builds of iOS, these vulnerabilities remain.

So it turns out that in order to successfully roll back from the problematic version of iOS, the user must first find out which firmware there is an opportunity to roll back to. The fastest way to determine the firmware that is still being signed by Apple is as follows.

Step 1. Go to ipsw.me. This is an unofficial resource, however, it is completely safe to use.


Step 2. Select your device.


Step 3. Select a device model.


Step 4. Look at the firmware available for installation on your device in the section Signed IPSWs. Here, by clicking on the desired firmware version, you can download it for subsequent rollback.

In our example, after spending only a few seconds, we determined that on the iPhone 6 (at the time of October 17, 2016) three versions of iOS can be installed, including the firmware of the previous generation iOS 9.3.5. This method of determining the relevance of firmware will be especially useful for users who do not closely follow the news from the world of Apple.
