If you are boring with iOS 10.2 and looking for downgrade to iOS 9, then here is the steps and iH8snOw iFaith tool to get iOS 9 once again on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch then jailbreak…
Apple is more concern about their iOS security. To prevent jailbreaking and tweaking, they have stopped signing iOS 10.2 after introducing iOS 9. Now there are no luck for you, if you have iPhone and or any iDevice which runs on iOS 9 or further new release in this series.
But, there is some interesting news for iPhone users, who have saved SHSH blobs for iOS 9. The news is, if you have iPhone or iPad and if you have saved SHSH blobs, you can still able to Downgrade iOS 9 to iOS 9 or older firmware with the help of iFaith.
We were getting a bunch of request to publish the solution or fix to downgrade iOS 9 to iOS 9, so we put hands on couple of device that run on iOS 9 and as always there is no luck for us too, but when we tried iPhone 4s to downgrade for some devices that have SHSH blobs backup, those iDevices can still downgrade.
Downgrade iOS 9 to iOS iOS 9
So, here is what you wanted to get back your favorite jailbroken iOS 9 once again step by step. But, there is a few instructions which you need to understand and follow. I have mention all of them below.
- iH8sn0w made iFaith tool that downgrade iPhone 4S iOS 9 to iOS 9.
Compatible iDevices: Only iPhone and iPad users can downgrade iOS 9, if they have saved iOS 10.2 ‘s SHSH blobs. This is clear that iPhone 6, 5S, 5C, 4S users can’t downgrade whether they have iOS 10.2 blobs or not, because they are fully capable to run iOS 9. And we would like to recommend you that please take a backup, before starting downgrading procedure and full charge your iPhone battery.
One more thing; iFaith only available for Windows operating systems, so if you have Mac OS, then avoid downgrading on Mac OS and install iFaith on Windows operating system. Detailed steps provided below…
