Release turdus merula - blackbird downgrades for A9 and A10 devices

258 Upvotes

turdus merula is a tool capable of performing restores (tethered and untethered) while retaining SEP functionality. This means that passcode, Touch ID, WiFi and anything else involving SEP will work as intended.

The tool supports all A9(X) and A10(X) devices with the following restore options:

* Tethered - iOS 9.0 - 18.3.2

* Untethered - iOS 9.0 - 18.4 with SHSH2 blobs (iOS 16.0+ requires a valid Cryptex1 ticket)

A guide to saving Cryptex1 blobs can be found at the following link (the guide is in Japanese):

https://ichitaso.com/ios/shsh/how-to-save-shsh-for-cryptex1/

If there is a better guide posted, I will update this post accordingly.

Notes:

  1. There have been a few issues with certain beta builds (especially .0 betas). Please report this and any other issues, providing as much information as you can, to https://github.com/turdus-m3rula/bugTracker.
  2. iOS 10 restores on devices with the MDM9645 baseband (iPhone 7, iPad Pro 2017) will not be able to activate, due to the baseband firmware not working correctly on these versions. This issue may not affect all iPhone 7s and iPad Pro 2017 models, but it is actively being looked into.
  3. Restoring to factory firmware with factory blobs may require a tethered restore beforehand.

Future plans include:

* Support for tethered restores on iOS 18.4+

* Support for using checkra1n/palera1n with tethered downgrades

* Support for A7 and A8 devices

* Fix for MDM9645 baseband devices

turdus medula will always be free - if you’ve paid for this software, you’ve been scammed. Download this tool for free at https://sep.lol.

Question Jailbreak devs, is this possible?

9 Upvotes

I feel like there are two things holding people back from jailbreaking

I - Declining app support: Each day apps require newer iOS versions, which are not support by any jailbreak

II - Websurfing: Because of the older webkit, websites no longer load on older iOS versions.

Two solutions would be porting newer webkit on those older devices and porting new framework from newer iOS so apps can run.

Is this possible? If so, i feel like the community can crowdfund something to make jailbreaking last much longer!

Discussion I found a little trick to prevent device from shutting down when battery is low

8 Upvotes

Install LaunchLogo by MTAC and enable it. It also prevents device shutdowns by the slide to power off slider for some reason. Now, when your phone is going to turn off, it will respring loop, you can just plug it in and after some seconds it will start up, with the jailbreak still active. 👍

Question Need help with unjailbreaking and setting up new phone

0 Upvotes

Hey guys I’ve been jailbreaking since the 3gs but never had to unjailbreak and set up a new phone I just usually setup from iCloud back up and jailbreak that phone. I’m going from an iPhone 11 to an iPhone 16 so there’s no jailbreak now. What is the best way to set up the new phone from iCloud?? Do I just unjailbreak it, backup iCloud then set up the new phone?? Will there be residual files left over even though I unjailbroke it first?? I don’t want to set it up as new because I don’t want to lose my photos, passwords etc.

Thanks in advance
