Apple is Currently Signing Various iOS 6 to iOS 10 Firmware Versions, Downgrades Possible!

Posted January 11, 2018 at 7:44am by iClarified
Apple opened the signing window for various iOS 6 to iOS 10 firmware versions today. It's unclear why or how long this will last so users looking to downgrade should do so ASAP.

Developer Steve Troughton-Smith tweets, "Not entirely sure why the signing window has opened for iOS 6–10 on various iOS devices, but not gonna complain. Have some iOS 6."

Currently signed firmware versions include: iOS 6.1.3, 7.0.3, 7.04, 7.1, 7.1.1, 8.0, 10.2, 10.2.1, 10.3, and 10.3.3. Unfortunately, the oldest version of iOS 11 being signed is 11.2 which means you still cannot downgrade for the iOS 11.1.2 jailbreak; however, those with an A7-A9 device may want to downgrade to iOS 10.3.3 for the G0blin jailbreak.


You can download previous iOS firmware versions from the links below:

Hold down Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) which clicking the restore button in iTunes to select a specific firmware IPSW to restore to.

Update:
As expected, it appears this was unintentional and Apple quickly closed the signing windows following media attention.

It’s funny how this all seems. Giving people such a small window to downgrade. Was this a glitch or intentionally? Either way I’m sure it’s giving people a hard time fixing their devices now.

Sir, as now, only iphone 3GS, iphone 4s and ipad 2 can be downgraded, without any trick or hassle. hope other device such as iphone 4, 5, 5s, ipad air/air 2 can too soon.

Actually Apple has to give this option so that older iPhone user can downgrade and can use hassle free performance/device. Due to eagerness of using latest version, many has updated but then they regretted also.

My only problem is that i'm already on 11.2 and have backed up all of my Sh!t on that version, so downgrading would mean that I couldn't put my sh!t back on my phone from my backup once on 10.3.3:/
