1.2 Entenda o limite de tempo para o downgrade do iOS

Todo o processo de downgrade de uma versão do iOS é sensível ao tempo, o que muitos usuários não conhecem. Vamos falar sobre isso em detalhes.

  • Se você tiver uma versão beta do iOS instalada, poderá fazer o downgrade do iOS beta para uma versão estável anterior sempre que quiser (até que a versão oficial do iOS pública seja lançada).
  • Após o lançamento da versão pública estável do iOS, você tem apenas 14 dias para fazer o downgrade do seu dispositivo para uma versão anterior do iOS existente.

1.3 Selecione a versão correta para fazer o downgrade do iOS 15

Idealmente, você só pode fazer o downgrade do iOS 15 para uma versão estável anterior. Por exemplo, se você deseja fazer um downgrade do iOS 15, só poderá voltar à versão estável anterior, assinada pela Apple. Você pode visitar IPSW.me para verificar se o firmware compatível está disponível.

1.4 Saiba como fazer o downgrade para uma versão não mais assinada pela Apple (se necessário)

Como você sabe, para fazer o downgrade do iOS 15, você precisa executar as etapas necessárias dentro de 14 dias após o lançamento oficial. Além disso, os usuários só podem reverter para uma versão estável anterior. No entanto, se você passou da duração de 14 dias e deseja fazer o downgrade para uma versão que não é mais assinada pela Apple, precisará usar uma ferramenta de terceiros. Com a ajuda de ferramentas como TinyUmbrella ou TaigOne Downgrader, você pode instalar qualquer versão iOS suportada no dispositivo. Eles imitam a assinatura da Apple, permitindo que instalemos firmware personalizado (versão iOS) nos iDevices.

Embora todo o processo seja bastante técnico e possa não produzir resultados positivos. Como essas ferramentas de terceiros não são suportadas pela Apple, você precisa fazer o jailbreak do seu dispositivo para fazer isso. Isso não é recomendado, pois afetará a garantia do seu dispositivo e você também não terá mais acesso às versões oficiais do iOS. Além disso, tornará seu dispositivo vulnerável a ameaças de segurança indesejadas.

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.

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.

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.
