General Downgrading Your iOS is No Longer Possible

[escortgirl 21]

Hello!

This is actually my first time creating a topic. I decided to make this topic out of frustration that I am no longer able to downgrade my iOS hence no more jailbreaking (yet good news that Jailbreak for iOS 10 is around the corner).

 

I guess this topic is dedicated to those people who are still wondering whether it is possible or not for them to downgrade their iOS. Well, as you may have read from the title, the answer is NO (yes, I am saddened by this also).

 

I've done some quick research on how to downgrade your iOS:

Article 1: http://www.redmondpie.com/how-to-downgrade-ios-10-beta-to-ios-9.x-tutorial/

Article 2: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-downgrade-ios-10-back-to-ios-9-1786675447

and with my limited understanding of the jailbreaking world, I couldn't find any solution to this issue. I just found out that there is such thing as "signed iOS".

 

What is signed iOS?

Apple signs every iOS ever made. It is like a verification from Apple that your iOS is still allowed to be used of some sort. Since iOS 10 was released in September, Apple had unsigned every iOS made previous iOS 10. Unsigned iOS is not going to be able to be restored in iTunes as stated in http://ipsw.me (click for larger image).

 

 

More Evidence

The answer I seek for was found in this article:

http://www.macworld.co.uk/how-to/iosapps/how-downgrade-ios-10-how-go-back-ios-9-reinstall-ios-9-3522302/

I also know regarding the signed iOS from that exact article.

 

Here is a cut from the article which basically answered my question (click for larger image):

 

 

I apologize if this topic destroys your dream of downgrading your iOS but hopefully it answers your question.

Please do correct me if I'm wrong regarding downgrading your iOS.

 

But for now, we just have to wait until Jailbreak for iOS 10 is out.

 

 

 

Have a great day!

Everyone pretty much knows already that you cannot downgrade to a certain iOS unless it is still being signed by Apple. It's common knowledge

You're just a few iOS versions late.

Sorry that I am a bit late :$ . I just realized that today. I seek for answers using google yet were not that helpful and thus here too - using the search tool resulted in help and support of some questions asked by some people. I found the answer but not explanation. Not to mention that it is not certain iOS anymore but the remaining signed iOS is iOS 10. I just hope this topic will enlighten those newbies like me with little knowledge

I guess I am lol.

Oh is it? I saw from the list in ispw that it is unsigned. Mind to give some further info regarding your statement?

It doesn't destroy my dream at all   There'a no jailbreak for 9.3.5 so downgrading to that firmware is pointless.
