Difficulty

Moderate

Steps

6

Time Required

10 - 20 minutes

Introduction

Now V2.17 3uTools supports downgrading iPhone 4s and iPad 2 to iOS 6.1.3 after jailbreak without SHSH.

  1. 4Ush2v6EVRHCsV1m

    • Launch Cydia and add repo: http://repo.tihmstar.net to enter KDFU mode (Please check the detailed tutorial). Only when your iDevice is in KDFU mode, you can downgrade to iOS 6.1.3. Please make sure your iDevice is in KDFU mode, then continue to downgrade.

    it says failed to fetch when entering this in.

Great guide! I haven’t tried it out yet, but it looks great!

Naples -

Thanks this worked perfectly!

This is a very poor guide, well below IfixIt standards. Perhaps experienced hackers might follow these steps

but if I was a hacker would I need this. Which Cydia,? Where to download? Download it onto the target device or a laptop connected to

the target device. C’mon guys this is seriously sloppy work.

firstly you need to know how to upgrade your device to 9.3.5 for iphone 4s only, you can follow apples’s guide. then you need to jailbreak it a quick google search will lead you to a fast guide on how to jailbreak it. then come back here to follow the instructions on how to to downgrade it to 6.1.3. just use google people <3

This guide is not intended towards the average person. If you are interested in completed what is done here, you should research more into this, using other sites. Once you can get the hang of it, im sure you’ll love it. (But to answer your question, The Cydia you want to use is the one downloaded on your phone after a jailbreak, and download the firmware onto your computer)

3u Tools is possibly the least reliable method for downgrading, not to mention its data collection and piracy of jailbreak tools such as futurerestore (which is already open source, they just don’t respect the license!), p0sixpwn, and phoenix to mention a few.

I cannot access http://repo.tihmstar.net/

Does anybody know if there is any other way of doing it?

The tihmstar repo is down. You need to download iFile and then download Kloader through it.

First, download iFile

Then, go to this link (on the jailbroken device) and select "open with iFile" https://web.archive.org/web/201704190628...

Afterwards, select the Kloader thing in iFile and select Installer.

After Kloader is installed, go into Cydia and add this repo. https://lukezgd.github.io/repo

From there, you can download kdfuApp normally. :)

Hi, I’ve managed to get my iPhone 4s from 9.6 to 9.5… well it seemed to be already imported onto 3utools to begin with so flashing was elementary. Next, I would try experimenting with a specific guide from 3uTools that uses the behind.exe application to first create a IPSW file… interestingly the file I uploaded was already 6.3.1 ISPW, I tried another which was a 954mB zipped file with iOS approval . But still no luck, 45% through RAM disk … gets stuck and I’m not sure if it will complete ever… checkout screenshot below for the screenshot of error message from behind. Any help is desperately appreciated.
