Restoring to 14.3
With the recent and upcoming jailbreak releases for iOS 14.0 to 14.3, many users find themselves on a version too low to take advantage of it.
Luckily, users who have saved their blobs can easily update to an older iOS 14 version and install these new jailbreaks.
If you saved blobs for an earlier version of iOS 14, but not 14.3, this will still work. 14.3 is recommended but not required.
Requirements
- Blobs saved for iOS 14.3 or below
- If there are multiple blobs saved for your version, use the first one
- A device on iOS 13.7 or below
- If you have an A11 device or older, you can do this on iOS 14.x using Dimentio to set your generator
- A computer with at least 12GB of available storage space
Downloads
- The latest release of FutureRestore-GUI
- The iPSW file for your device from ipsw.me
- This should be the same iOS version that your blob is for
- On Windows, make sure you have iTunes installed
- Scroll down and select the other Windows build as the Windows Store version will not work
Instructions
- Connect your iDevice to your computer
