Now, iOS 10-10.3.3 firmware has been wrapped up successfully by the jailbreak developers, H3lix for 32 bits and Meridian for 64 bits. Many users want to downgrade back to iOS 10.3.3 to try this jailbreak. So, here’s a complete downgrade tutorial for iPhone and iPad devices with A7 chipsets.


Is a downgrading from iOS 11.1.2 possible?

A downgrade from iOS 11-11.1.2 to iOS 10.3.3 is possible. However, you must own an Apple device with A7 chipset to downgrade.


As we already know, Apple is still signing iOS 10.3.3 via OTA for A7 devices. This ensures you have a signed firmware, which is compatible with your target firmware.


Therefore, you can downgrade to iOS 10 provided you have SHSH Blobs for your destination or target version.


How to Downgrade iOS 11.1.2 to 10.3.3 for A7 Devices With SHSH?


Here’s the complete tutorial for downgrading iOS 11 to 10 with SHSH Blobs. And at present, we don't have the compatible devices to make a tutorial video. 


Compatibility

Here’s the list of all A7 devices that are supported –

  • iPhone 5s

  • iPad mini 2

  • iPad Air


Warning – Remember, don’t try this method on any device that doesn’t have an A7 chip. This process will not work with them and you risk bricking your device.


Requirements

  • A compatible iPhone or iPad

  • SHSH Blobs for your target version (iOS 10.3.3)
