FutureRestore-GUI VS futurerestore

install FutureRestore-GUI in your Mac

To restore, use future restore GUI, and allow it to use it’s built in feature to download the latest stable version of future restore: https://github.com/CoocooFroggy/FutureRestore-GUI/releases

https://github.com/CoocooFroggy/FutureRestore-GUI and make sure you check the box for beta build of FR in the GUI settings.

Download from GitHub

The Face ID not working only applies if you're using iOS 14, on iOS 15, the SEP is all compatible at the moment. To check the current if the current SEP is compatible, check here https://joshblah555.github.io/JoshTV/SEPCheckr.html. For downgrading and futurerestoring, I would reccomend https://github.com/airsquared/blobsaver to save blobs (make sure to copy the info that it read from your device), and when you're ready, use https://github.com/CooCooFroggy/futurerestore-gui to futurerestore, and make sure that your generator/nonce/etc. all match the one from blobsaver, then select your blob file, then restore. Also, make sure to NEVER UPDATE, as that will break all of your blobs. Turn off Automatic Updates (both download AND install), and then install the tvOS 15 beta profile (look it up) to block OTA updates, then restart to make sure that it works.

step 3: - download https://github.com/CoocooFroggy/FutureRestore-GUI, in settings enable "FutureRestore Beta" - on the Files tab, click "Download FutureRestore" and select your blob and IPSW - in the Options tab, tick "Pwned Restore", then just click Next and start the process

Blobs are a .shsh2 file that is used to submit a request to Apple to restore/update to an iOS or iPadOS version. It’s basically Apple’s signature for iTunes or idevicerestore (a library for restoring Apple devices) to go ahead and install an update to your device. Normally this is just a thing that happens when your device is in recovery mode. This process can be faked and taken over, however. A computer program called futurerestore (https://github.com/marijuanARM/futurerestore) can use those .shsh2 blobs to fake that in ways that I can’t personally explain, but it does. You can also save these blobs if you’re a jailbroken user, which makes it possible to restore or upgrade to certain iOS/iPadOS versions after Apple has stopped giving those signatures itself. For example, if you have saved blobs for iOS 14.3 and you’re on iOS 13.7, you can update or restore to 14.3 today, even though the versions that are signed at the moment are iOS 14.4.2 and 14.5.

That was the old version of future restore. Use https://github.com/marijuanARM/futurerestore and if you want a GUI use https://github.com/CoocooFroggy/FutureRestore-GUI

Ah I see. There's only been a few tweets I could find detailing the issue and they were vague on where exactly the incompatibility stems from. The build I mentioned was just dropped before I posted and it just mentions incompatibility. It looks like possible for 14.2 on A11 with the build but very hit or miss and better to wait. Hopefully you were able to use the exit flag in futurerestore like I was so you weren't forced to 14.4.

I was using futurere (v189) on MacOS, so it might be safer/better to try Windows instead. I had futurerestored a couple times in previous years. No antivirus or system cleanup utilities were installed. It was an iPhone X, going from 13.5 to 14.3. Full log in a comment below. Regardless, thank you to everyone who has contributed to the jailbreak scene!
