Apple Stops Signing iOS 9.1, Downgrades and Restores No Longer Possible

Apple Stops Signing iOS 9.1, Downgrades and Restores No Longer Possible

Posted December 22, 2015 at 4:57pm by
Apple has stopped signing iOS 9.1.0 following the release of iOS 9.2.

If you want to stay on iOS 9.1.0 or earlier take care that you do not accidentally update because you won't be able to get back down. If you're still on iOS 9.0.2 and you do update you will not be able to jailbreak your device.


You may want to save the SHSH Blobs off your device if you haven't already.

There have been some rumors that a jailbreak of iOS 9.2 is in the works but no concrete evidence as of yet. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.

Never in the history of jailbreak tools has one come out on cmas day. Back in 7.0 Evaders released a tool 2 days after xmas. Closest JB tool ever to release near xmas. 60% of the JB tools has been released 1.5 months after iOS public release. So for 9.2 if it happens will be january based on statistics and logic

It's not bad if I jailbreak. I don't jailbreak to pirate apps. Some of us jailbreak to improve the iPhone. For example: attaching a zip file and sending it via email. Can't do that on stock but I can do that on a jailbroken iPhone. I don't think giving my iPhone the ability to send an email with a zip file should be deemed bad.

I need a jailbreak. At least release for 8.4.1, iOS 9 is horrible.

iOS 9.0.2 > 8.4.1. They seldom if ever back date jailbreaks, if another is to be released, it will be for 9.2. No point waiting at 8.4.1 or 9.1.

The oversized app switcher and San Francisco font are the main reasons why I am yet to upgrade. But I got my iPhone at 8.4.1 along with my iPad, even when 9.2 was out. (Replacement devices)

That doesn't matter, the hackers aren't working on a jailbreak for 8.4.1, Only 9.2 and possibly 9.1
