Tethered Downgrades are downgrades which flash unsigned iOS versions in a way that meets certain iTunes requirements to complete a restore. It is possible to perform a tethered downgrade on any device that is vulnerable to the limera1n Exploit.

Installing a firmware version using this method (without valid SHSH blobs) will result in a permanently tethered jailbreak. Each time the device boots, the bootrom validates the SHSH blobs for LLB, LLB for iBoot, and so on. Therefore, the image validation function must be patched or bypassed with an appropriate bootrom exploit payload on every boot or the device will be forced into DFU mode or recovery mode depending on the method.

It can be said that 3uTools is an all-in-one tool for iOS devices.

Locking a device with an unsigned bootchain (specifically the LLB) while on battery power causes iOS to disable the LCD. A restore to the latest iOS is needed to fix this.

Some iOS versions (such as iOS 5) cannot boot when the device has a counterfeit display. A workaround is available here.

Method

NameDescription
GeekGrade
  • Instead of making the IPSW via sn0wbreeze, it's made via iFaith. The ramdisk is modified to remove iH8sn0w's iFaith logo and to replace it with BlackGeek's logo. It also sets FlashNOR to false in option.plist. This last modification allows the bootchain to stay signed (if it was signed prior to restore). This method fixes the display failure bug. The device is then sent to recovery mode (instead of DFU) because the bootchain is signed but fails to load iOS.
iFaith
  • Make an IPSW in iFaith with someone else's valid blobs for your specific device and swap that IPSW's ramdisk with the one in GeekGrade's IPSWs or make the modified ramdisk yourself.

Purpose

With this method you can install a firmware for which you don't have SHSH saved for. This is handy in the case that you're a software developer and need to do some tests on a specific version or if you prefer older iOS versions.

Alternative

You have to patch a firmware file (IPSW) which is signed by Apple exactly when you want to perform the downgrade.

  1. Patch out the signature check in iBSS and iBEC and apply another patch to iBEC (some lines of code before the patch the string 'debug-enabled' is loaded into a register and some lines after the patch the string 'development-cert' is loaded. Look at a patched iBEC from an iFaith IPSW for details).
  2. Patch the boot-args in iBEC to 'rd=md0 amfi=0xff cs_enforcement_disable=1 pio-error=0' and do an iBEC patch that injects the boot-args.
  3. Patch asr to return 'Image passed signature verification' where it would usually return 'Image failed signature verification'.
  4. Update the page hashes of asr with ldid.
  5. Grow the ramdisk to original size + size of asr (better some bytes larger).
  6. Rename the original asr and add the patched asr.
  7. chmod asr to 100755
  8. Replace the root file system dmg with the decrypted root file system dmg of the older firmware you want to downgrade to.
  9. Enter pwned DFU Mode.
  10. Use an old iTunes version that allows downgrades on your iOS device and restore to your patched IPSW.
  11. To start up your device you will have to boot tethered (depending on iOS version redsn0w or opensn0w).
