If you want to use over-the-air method to install iOS 11, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Download and Install. Install iOS 11 using Over-the-Air Method. The new operating system will arrive in September or October, depending when Apple releases the new iPhone 8. This is valid for a very finite amount of time! At any moment in the coming hours, days, or weeks, Apple will stop signing iOS 7.1.2, and you will not be able to downgrade.Īfter downgrading you welcome to jailbreak your iOS 7.1.2 iDevice using Pangu. We recommend waiting for the finished iOS 11, not the beta version. Wait until your device restores, and enjoy your iOS 7.1.2 firmware. If you are okay with the restore, click the Restore button. Step 5: A pop-up box will warn you that the restore will delete all data from the device. Find the IPSW firmware file that you downloaded in Step 1, select it, and click Open. Step 4: Open the device page on iTunes, and hold the Option key ( Shift key on windows) while clicking the Restore button.
Step 3: Connect your device to a Mac or windows PC with iTunes installed. Go to Settings → iCloud, and disable the Find My iPhone switch. Step 2: Turn off Find My iPhone on your device if you have it enabled. Step 1: Download the iOS 7.1.2 firmware for your iDevice via iDB’s download page. A little obvious note, you can not downgrade the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 + to iOS 7. So is your version of ios jailbreak-able? If your running any version of ios 6 it is, and if your running any version of ios 7 it is, and if your using any version of iOS 8 it is NOT. If you have upgraded to ios 8 you can still downgrade, I highly recommend you do if you plan to hack or use hacks for blockheads anytime soon, below I have the steps you can take to downgrade (Hurry and downgrade before its too late! Apple will stop signing iOS 7.2.1 making it impossibly to downgrade!). Version 1.4 or 1.5) with or without a modified string for downgrades or side by side installation. I thereby ask that any users who do run into installation issues (not that I expect any) appreciate the complex problem we have with this package.To gain true Blockheads advantage, I recommend you do two simple things, the first being to be on a jailbreak-able iOS version, the second being to use two versions of The Blockheads, one the current latest (Right now its The Blockheads 1.5.2) with the stock app ID/identifier string, the other a more exploitable version of TBH ( E.G. Unfortunately, this is arguably more "finicky" and might sometimes fail. This package does not have this issue: rather than redistributing software from Apple, this package downloads (and verifies, of course) the files as needed.
However, due to security concerns, modern "jailbreaks" now avoid installing AFC2 by default.Īs of iOS 7.1, the simple method we have used for AFC2 stopped working.Īlternative AFC2 packages for iOS 7.1 solve this problem in a way that many in the core developer community feel crosses the bounds of what is legal.
So, historically, getting full (not "jailed") filesystem access was core to the idea "this is a jailbreak". Installing this package will correct that mistake, and is thereby more secure than the "stock" from-jailbreak AFC2 configuration you may be using now. Some AFC2 setups, in particular many that were installed by default with older jailbreaks (such as evasi0n for iOS 6) set a flag that allows this access to not require a "trusted" USB connection :/. However, please understand that AFC2 is considered by many to be a security hole: you might not want to provide full USB filesystem access. If you use a USB device management tool, it might need AFC2 to fully work. This package creates a new service, "AFC2", with full filesystem access. (Version 1.2 fixes a small bug in 1.1 affecting iOS 8 for some users.)ĪFC stands for "Apple File Conduit" (or at least so says TheiPhoneWiki :/), and is how computer applications such as iTunes and iPhoto can read and write files from your device over USB.ĪFC is "jailed" and only allows access to "media" (such as photos, music, and data for apps from the App Store). (A special thank you to for his help achieving iOS 8 support!)
This mobile file manager Windows app works with most editions of the iPhone and iPod.
IPSW iOS 15.1 build 19B74 is unsigned by Apple to update Apple device software. This a replacement for packages such as afc2add, and I think it is compatible with all iOS versions (including 8.x!). With iFunBox, owners of Apple devices finally have an alternative to iTunes when they want to move data between a PC and their mobile device. Download the IPSW iOS 15.1 (Build 19B74) firmware file released at 25 October 2021 intended to restore iPhone 8 (GSM) via iTunes.
