iOS 15-nedgradering: Slik gjør du det trygt og enkelt

Del 1. Er du godt forberedt for iOS 15-nedgradering?

Den siste iOS-oppdateringen har blitt utgitt, men brukere klager allerede på noen av feilene. For å overvinne disse problemene, kan du vurdere å gjøre en iOS 15-nedgradering. Du bør imidlertid ta et skritt tilbake og forstå konsekvensene. For eksempel kan en nedgradering slette alle eksisterende data på telefonen din, inkludert bildene, appene, kontaktene dine osv. Derfor er det viktig å ta de nødvendige forholdsreglene før du angrer en iOS 15-oppdatering på iPhone.

1.1 Ta sikkerhetskopi av enheten din

Dette er det viktigste du bør ta vare på før du nedgraderer iOS 15 til en tidligere stabil versjon. Når vi nedgraderer en iOS-enhet, kan den ende opp med å slette alle dataene som er lagret i den. Fra mediefiler til appdata – du kan ende opp med å miste alt eksisterende innhold på telefonen din i prosessen. Derfor er den beste måten å lære å nedgradere fra iOS 15 til en stabil versjon ved å ta en sikkerhetskopi av telefonen. På denne måten, etter at du er ferdig med nedgraderingen, kan du enkelt få tilbake viktige data ved å gjenopprette sikkerhetskopien.

  • 2Håndvelg typen data, eller velg alle.
  • 3Klikk på "Sikkerhetskopiering"-knappen for å sikkerhetskopiere enhetsdata lokalt.
Unike egenskaper:
  • Sikkerhetskopier en hel iOS-enhet, inkludert kontakter, anropslogger, meldinger, bilder, videoer osv.
  • Sikkerhetskopier og gjenopprett dataene dine fra en enhet til en annen (eller en iOS-versjon til en annen) uten kompatibilitetsproblemer.
  • Pakk ut en eksisterende iCloud- eller iTunes-sikkerhetskopi og gjenopprett den til enheten du velger.
  • Forhåndsvis data fra en sikkerhetskopifil for å gjenopprette den selektivt. Eksisterende data vil bli beholdt mens sikkerhetskopien gjenopprettes.

Sikkerhetskopier iDevice med iTunes

  • 1Start en oppdatert versjon av iTunes, og koble iOS-enheten til den.
  • 2Gå til fanen "Sammendrag" og finn det relevante alternativet under fanen "Sikkerhetskopier".
  • 3Klikk på "Sikkerhetskopier nå"-knappen for å lagre sikkerhetskopien av enheten din.
Ting å merke seg:
  • iTunes kan ikke gjenopprette en sikkerhetskopi av en høyere versjon av en lavere versjon. Derfor må du ta en sikkerhetskopi av enheten din før du oppgraderer den til iOS 15.
  • Ingen bestemmelse for å forhåndsvise dataene og selektivt gjenopprette dem.
  • iTunes sletter eksisterende data på iPhone mens du gjenoppretter en sikkerhetskopi.

1.2 Forstå tidsbegrensningen for iOS-nedgradering

Hele prosessen med å nedgradere en iOS-versjon er tidssensitiv, noe mange brukere ikke er klar over. La oss snakke om dette i detalj.

  • Hvis du har installert en iOS betaversjon, kan du nedgradere iOS beta til en tidligere stabil versjon når som helst (til den offisielle offentlige iOS-versjonen er utgitt).
  • Etter utgivelsen av den stabile offentlige iOS-versjonen har du bare 14 dager på deg til å nedgradere enheten til en tidligere eksisterende iOS-versjon.

1.3 Velg riktig versjon for å nedgradere fra iOS 15

Ideelt sett kan du bare nedgradere iOS 15 til en tidligere stabil versjon. For eksempel, hvis du ønsker å gjøre en iOS 15-nedgradering, kan du bare gå tilbake til den forrige stabile utgivelsen, som er signert av Apple. Du kan besøke IPSW.me for å sjekke om den kompatible fastvaren er tilgjengelig.

1.4 Vet hvordan du nedgraderer til en versjon som ikke lenger er signert av Apple (om nødvendig)

Som du vet, for å nedgradere iOS 15, må du ta de nødvendige trinnene innen 14 dager etter den offisielle utgivelsen. Dessuten kan brukere bare rulle tilbake til en tidligere stabil versjon. Men hvis du har passert 14-dagers varighet og ønsker å nedgradere til en versjon som ikke lenger er signert av Apple, må du bruke et tredjepartsverktøy. Ved å ta hjelp av verktøy som TinyUmbrella eller TaigOne Downgrader, kan du installere hvilken som helst støttet iOS-versjon på enheten. De etterligner Apples signatur, og lar oss installere personlig fastvare (iOS-versjon) på iDevices.

Selv om hele prosessen ville være ganske teknisk, og den kanskje ikke gir positive resultater. Siden disse tredjepartsverktøyene ikke støttes av Apple, må du jailbreake enheten for å gjøre det. Dette anbefales ikke, da det vil påvirke garantien til enheten din, og du vil ikke lenger ha tilgang til de offisielle iOS-utgivelsene også. Videre vil det gjøre enheten din sårbar for uønskede sikkerhetstrusler.

Del 2. Slik nedgraderer du iOS 15 trygt?

Nå når du er klar over alle forutsetningene for å nedgradere iOS 15, kan du enkelt oppfylle kravene dine. Ideelt sett kan du ta hjelp av iTunes eller et annet tredjepartsverktøy for å lære hvordan du nedgraderer fra iOS 15. Sørg i alle fall for at det er en sikkerhetskopi av enheten din på forhånd. For å gjøre ting enklere for deg har vi gitt to løsninger for å gjøre en iOS 15-nedgradering.

2.1 Ett-klikks løsning for å nedgradere iOS 15

What are SHSH blobs for iPhone?

Both SHSH and SHSH2 blobs are referred to digital signatures deployed by Apple on respective IPSW files. This protects the authenticity of the IPSW files and only signed software would be installed on the device. When Apple releases a new iOS version, it stops signing the previous version. In this way, users need to upgrade to the latest public iOS version. This is where previously saved SHSH blobs are used to forge these signatures in order to downgrade our devices.

Part 4. iOS 15 Downgrading Troubleshooting

4.1 iOS 15 Downgrade Failed Many Times

This is one of the most common issues that users face while downgrading their iOS devices. The chances are that while downgrading your device, the process would stop in between unexpectedly.

It happens when we try to downgrade the device to an incompatible iOS version. A faulty internet connection or low free space on the device can also trigger it.

Quick Fixes:
  • Check the iOS version: Needless to say, if you are trying to downgrade your device to an iOS version it no longer supports, then you might face unwanted issues. Ideally, you should try to downgrade iOS 15 to a previous version and not any other existing one.
  • Have a stable internet connection: An inconsistent internet connection is another prominent cause for this error. It happens when the download of the iOS update is halted in between (due to a poor connection). Therefore, make sure that the device stays connected to a working and fast internet connection for a seamless downgrading. You can go to your phone’s WiFi settings to further diagnose this.

When we install an iOS version on the device, the Apple server asks for a digital signature to authenticate it. A signed IPSW file would have a verified signature issued by Apple, letting us upgrade/downgrade the device without any hassle. Therefore, if an IPSW file is not signed by Apple, then it will not be recognized by the server and the upgrading/downgrading process won’t be completed.

There are all kinds of SHSH dumps and readily available third-party tools that can help us force Apple’s signature and create SHSH blobs even after Apple stops signing them. Though, you should know that Apple might revoke the authentication of such SHSH blobs anytime. To do this, you need to have a jailbroken device and use a dedicated tool like iFaith or FutureRestore.

The Apple Software Program lets us test the releases of iOS before the public availability. You can join or leave the program anytime you want without spending anything. If you want to leave it, then go to the Unenroll section of the website.
