Available Firmware to Restore

With corresponding SHSH, you can restore to iOS 5 - iOS 9. (Except iOS 9 on iPhone 5/5c)

 

Requirements

 

On 3uTools server, I’ve only saved SHSH of iOS 9.3.5 and iOS 6.1.3 for our testing iDevice, iPhone 4s, but I saved the SHSH Of iOS 8.3 on another server. So I will take downgrading to iOS 8.3 for example.


Operation

1. Verify SHSH

(1) Check and download SHSH of iOS 8.3 you saved on 3uTools. (If you saved SHSH on another server, you can just downloaded.)
