what's going on YouTube GS here in
0:02
today's video we're discussing about iOS
0:04
downgrades whether they are doable
0:06
anymore especially with saved shsh blobs
0:09
with air squar tool what you can do if
0:11
you want to downgrade from IOS 17 if you
0:14
can use theay OTA and stuff like that
0:16
just some clarifications because there
0:17
seems to be a lot of confusion in the
0:19
community this video is brought to you
0:20
by a 10 share reboot a software that
0:22
allows to repair your device if it's
0:23
stuck in a boot loop or in recovery mode
0:26
dfu mode black screen stuff like that
0:28
definitely check the program out in the
0:29
link below a free trial is available for
0:31
both Windows and Mac OS and it does
0:33
support the latest devices so you
0:35
probably know that you cannot really
0:36
downgrade iOS devices unless the version
0:39
you're trying to downgrade to is signed
0:41
if you go here on my website on the
0:42
signing status page and select your
0:44
device you can see all the signed iOS
0:46
versions available for your device in
0:48
this case it's probably going to be just
1:00
called air squared blob saver which
1:01
allows you to save the shsh tickets or
1:04
blobs returned by the Apple signing
1:06
server and if you save these technically
1:09
you have the response that the server
1:11
gives when you try to downgrade with a
1:13
signed version and you can theoretically
1:15
make the device believe that it's still
1:17
actually signed well not really and not
1:19
anymore there are some components that
1:21
are introduced in iOS versions in newer
1:24
iOS versions like cryptic one which
1:26
prevent you from doing just that and
1:28
make the shsh blobs that you saved
1:30
pretty much useless should you still
1:32
save them yes once in a while it's a
1:34
good idea to go ahead and do save them
1:36
because it takes a second to use this
1:38
program just connect to device and press
1:39
go and that's it and they might still
1:42
become useful at some point in the
1:44
future we might be able to crack down
1:46
how cryptic1 works and figure out a way
1:49
to use these blobs again for downgrading
1:51
but as they stand right now they're
1:53
pretty much useless and saving them does
1:55
not guarantee you any downgrade at least
1:58
not for now they used to be pretty use
2:00
especially with future restore a
2:02
software that allows you to restore an
2:03
ipsw an iOS version with signed blobs
2:07
which is essentially what you needed for
2:09
a downgrade for a while but Apple did
2:11
patch that out by introducing more
2:13
components now a lot of you ask me well
2:15
if that is patched can I use theay otaa
2:18
because theay otaa is still working at
2:19
the moment and it's based on some um
2:21
profiles that Apple makes available for
2:24
the Enterprise market now how this works
2:27
is that once an iOS version stops being
2:29
signed for example 17.4 there's still a
2:32
pretty large window like 3 months or so
2:34
where the Enterprise Market can still
2:36
upgrade to this version but notice I
2:38
said upgrade not downgrade if you're
2:46
however if 17.4 becomes unsigned and for
2:50
some reason a jailbreak gets released
2:52
for it and you're running say I don't
2:53
know iOS 15 and you would like to jump
2:55
to a newer version you can actually use
2:57
the profile to go to 17.4 even even if
3:00
it's no longer signed if you're still in
3:01
the window and we know full well when
3:04
the window for each iOS version is going
3:06
to end I even have them on my website as
3:08
well which I probably do need to update
3:10
for the latest version but um you do get
3:12
the dates over here for example 1.2.1
3:15
will stop being signed Forever on
3:17
basically 21st of April and for 17.4
3:21
it's listed here as latest version it's
3:25
one is going to be available up until
3:28
June so we do know when these are going
3:30
to expire you can see 17.31 itself is
3:34
long gone it's no longer signed but the
3:36
profile is still available so if you
3:38
would want to go from a lower version
3:40
like say iOS 13 to 17.31 and wait there
3:44
you can still do that with delay otaa
3:46
unfortunately delay otaa as I explained
3:49
in this article over here which I'm
3:50
going to link below is not for
3:52
downgraded it's just for upgrading from
3:54
older versions then you have the latest
3:56
method which is semor in an iOS
3:59
downgrade tool that was just released
4:01
well this one is pretty easy to rule out
4:03
is for A7 through A9 devices so
4:05
Checkmate devices unless you have any of
4:07
these devices over here which I listed
4:09
it's going to be iPhone 5S iPad Mini 2
4:12
iPad Air1 iPad Air 2 Mini 4 mini3 iPhone
4:16
6 6 Plus SC 2016 or iPhone 6s and 6s
4:20
plus you're not going to be able to use
4:21
this but if you do have one of these
4:23
devices you can actually downgrade the
4:25
various iOS versions including say iOS 8
4:28
iOS 7 7 from 1.2 10.3.3 11.1 how useful
4:33
is this going to be for you not sure
4:35
because these devices are pretty old and
4:37
if you downgrade them to versions these
4:40
old it's probably going to be pretty
4:41
much unusable for anything other than
4:44
Nostalgia because these iOS versions
4:46
have virtually no application left that
4:48
is still compatible with them so yeah
4:51
not very useful but if you just want to
4:53
dowr for example from IOS 17.4.55
5:00
the harsh reality is that you cannot do
5:01
that nowadays not even with saved shsh
5:04
blobs there isn't really any good method
5:06
to downgrade at the moment to unsigned
5:08
versions so the best thing you can do if
5:10
you're waiting for a jailbreak is to
5:11
just not update your device there really
5:13
isn't going back especially for newer
5:16
devices anyway thank you for watching
5:17
I'm Gio snow till the next time
