[Discussion] Downgrading iPad 2 to iOS 4.3.3 using checkm8-a5 with Arduino UNO R3
How can I put iPad 2 into pwned dfu mode? / https://youtu.be/v_fWwCaGWU8 (You'll see the checkm8 used in the video is a1exdandy's. But because iPad 2 doesn't contain any iBEC and iBSS components, use of the a1exdandy's checkm8 causes error sending iBEC and iBSS. Please download a stable version of the checkm8 from https://github.com/UnfairXianyu/checkm8-a5) Deca5 / https://github.com/zzanehip/Deca5 iOS Firmware Downloader / ipsw.me (and also you have to look into your iPad 2's cpid in it here to modify the existing cpid in the checkm8 sketch.)
