Downgrade

FutureRestore developer discusses state of iOS 16 firmware downgrades, and it doesn’t look good

iOS 16 firmware downgrade

Firmware downgrades are something that jailbreakers have used over the years to thwart Apple’s attempts to stop jailbreaking. Even when Apple stopped signing firmware, jailbreakers found a way around that by saying .shsh blobs and using them to restore to unsigned firmware. But more recently, changes made on Apple’s end appear to have made even this process less than usable.
