A command-line application to restore firmware files to iOS devices. The iDevice restore application is a full reimplementation of all granular steps which are performed during the restore of firmware to a device. In general, upgrades and downgrades are possible, however subject to the availability of SHSH blobs from Apple for signing the firmware files. idevicerestore requires a properly installed usbmuxd for the restore procedure. Please make sure that it is either running or configured to be started automatically as soon as a device is detected in normal and/or restore mode. If properly installed this will be handled by udev/systemd.

Features

  • Update firmware on iOS devices
  • Use official IPSW firmware archive file or a directory as source
  • Allows updating the device by default or erasing all data
  • On demand download of latest available firmware for a device
  • Downloaded firmware files are cached locally
  • Restore custom firmware files (requires bootrom exploit)
  • Allows you to skip NOR/Baseband upgrade
