An all-in-one shell-based tool for restoring, downgrading, jailbreaking, and saving SHSH blobs on legacy iOS devices vulnerable to bootrom exploits like checkm8. It supports 32-bit devices and some 64-bit (A7-A11) devices with features like SSH ramdisk booting, sideloading, and NVRAM clearing.

Use cases

  • downgrade iPhone 4 to an unsigned iOS version
  • save SHSH blobs for old iPad
  • jailbreak a 32-bit iPhone on iOS 9
  • restore iPod touch to signed OTA iOS 6.1.3
  • boot SSH ramdisk on legacy iPhone
  • install TrollStore on iOS 14 device
  • activate old iPhone without SIM card

When to choose

  • you own a legacy 32-bit or A7-A11 iOS device and want to downgrade or restore it
  • you need to save SHSH blobs for old devices
  • you want to jailbreak old iOS versions
  • you need hacktivation or NVRAM clearing on old iPhones

When to avoid

  • your device is a modern one that received iOS 16+ (limited functionality only)
  • you want a graphical user interface
  • you need to jailbreak current iOS versions on recent devices
