Apple Stops Signing iOS 8.2, Downgrades and Restores No Longer Possible

Apple Stops Signing iOS 8.2, Downgrades and Restores No Longer Possible

Posted May 4, 2015 at 7:01pm by
Apple has stopped signing iOS 8.2, making restores and downgrades to the firmware no longer possible.

If you want to stay on iOS 8.2 take care that you do not accidentally update to iOS 8.3 because you won't be able to get back to iOS 8.2.


We'd also recommend that you save the SHSH Blobs off your device if you haven't already.

Tiny umbrella does not require jailbreak. Shsh blobs can be saved using their new tool.
