Inferius VS libirecovery

Option 1: Inferius (https://github.com/m1stadev/Inferius) Option 2: Divisé (https://github.com/MatthewPierson/Divise) Option 3: Ramiel (MacOS only / https://ramiel.app) All of these should work without blobs.

You can, for example with inferius

this fork is super outdated, i’d strongly recommend using upstream

Try to use Inferius https://github.com/m1stadev/Inferius

I have few A9 devices (6s and SE), but i don't have blobs. I tried Inferius (https://github.com/m1stadev/Inferius), but i can't get it to work due to some problems with compiling futurerestore.

Install libirecovery Manually https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libirecovery [Remove the (libimobiledevice-glue-dev \) line from the first command for it to work]

Most tools I’ve seen use irecovery.

libirecovery

Important note for those compiling: Until my Pull Request for libirecovery is merged/approved, you will need to compile the dev branch in my fork of libirecovery when building this updated release of tsschecker in order for your build to fully support the new devices.

git clone https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libirecovery

I haven't tested this on any A5 devices so I can't say for certain if it works, but it is actually possible to downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 using checkm8 pwned DFU mode — at least that's what I did on my iPad 4. Since you're on A5, enter pwned DFU as normal using your Arduino Uno + host shield. Now download the irecovery source from here and compile (git clone, ./autogen.sh, make, & sudo make install).

IMPORTANT NOTE: if FR exits before the restore begins, your device may get stuck in recovery mode. FR's built in "--exit-recovery" option doesn't work, so in order to get out, you have to use "irecovery -n"
