not sure what's exactly your problem. as far as I can guess, you are able to use futurerestore (https://github.com/tihmstar/futurerestore) with the Odysseus (64-bit) method, and you can put your device into pwnDFU mode with this fork of ipwndfu (https://github.com/LinusHenze/ipwndfu_public)

I must have got confused over one of the old tools I had seen once.

I was thinking futurerestore. The thing is I need a way to make sure the SEP and baseband remain intact, because iOS 12 SEP and baseband are definitely incompatible with iOS 8. One Discord user told me that futurerestore updates the SEP and baseband to the latest, and I should just wait for a tool to be released that has some way of restoring while maintaining SEP and baseband.

On my first few attempts, I could get into recovery mode (with the picture of the cable and computer) no problem, and FR would start to do it's thing, but when the iPad rebooted into restore mode (with the Apple logo and the progress bar), the process would freeze and eventually stop saying 'Device can't enter to restore mode', which correlates to line 1030 of futurerestore.cpp. I rebooted my laptop and switched USB ports the iPad was using, and my third attempt worked.
