  • Jan 29, 2021 Part 1: The Best IPSW Downgrade Software Tool Well, the best IPSW/iOS downgrade software tool is Tenorshare ReiBoot. This is one of the best programs in the market with excellent capabilities and state of the art recovery process.

Do you want to downgrade your iPhone or iPad to an earlier iOS version? There are several reasons why you might want to do this, but the main one is that the current iOS version is causing problems. When Apple releases a new firmware version, you get a short time in which to try it and downgrade if you need it.

Downgrade with SHSH2 using 3uTools. Step 1 Connect your iDevice to 3uTools and go to Flash & JB → Advanced, and click Download 64-bit iDevice. Step 2 Read the popup carefully and click Select IPSW → Select SHSH, and double check the generator nonce you just entered.

Because after a set period of time, usually a week, Apple will stop signing the old firmware so you won’t be able to downgrade back to it; you’ll be stuck on the new one, problems and all!

Let’s dig in

Before Downgrading: Easyworship 2009 build 1.9.

Before you downgrade your iOS version, you need to do three things. These will ensure that your data is safe and that you can downgrade successfully:

  • Make sure iTunes is up to date. Open iTunes and click on Help>Check for Updates. Follow the onscreen instructions to update.
  • Make sure your data is backed up. You can use iTunes and/or iCloud for this; if you don’t and something goes wrong, you will lose everything.
  • Disable Find My iPhone/iPad, your passcode and, if enabled, Touch ID. You can enable them all again after the downgrade.
