Downgrade iOS 10.3.3 with OTA blobs without SHSH

10.3.3-OTA-Downgrade-Script

Last Updated on 2 years by admin

iOS 10.3.3 OTA Downgrade Script has been released for the iPhone 5s using checkm8. Matthew Pierson, also known as Matty @mosk_i in twitter and Matty in Reddit released this method. This is a new method to downgrade using checkm8 exploit. 

Downgrade is popular in iOS jailbreaking to install jailbreakable older iOS versions. Normally, you need to backup/download SHSH Blobs while iOS is being signed. SHSH blobs can used to downgrade to older iOS versions that are no longer being signed by Apple. Apple doesn’t encourage downgrading to a previous version of iOS. Therefore, Apple stopped the signing of old iOS version within a short time once the new firmware version is released. Accordingly, Apple stopped signing iOS 10.3.3 two years ago. So, you cannot backup/download SHSH Blob with normal procedure. 

But with this new downgrade Script method, it is again possible to downgrade to iOS 10.3.3.
