ideviceinstaller VS idevicerestore

ideviceinstaller is used here, and macOS has brew that can be installed directly. If you don't want to compile for windows, here has compiled it, use this here.

If your ipa is signed or you have Appsync Unified installed, you can use ideviceinstaller from libimobiledevice. On Ubuntu you can install it with apt: sudo apt install ideviceinstaller

Linux users can use ideviceinstaller which I tested and it worked great.

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

Open Source Implementation: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore

Get ahold of another pc(it doesn't have to be a mac), run your favourite distro on in, and then follow this instructions: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore .

If you have a PC that can run Linux, you might be able to use iDeviceRestore as a substitute for the helper Mac: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore

Like the other comment says yes for macOS, imo however in a completely stupid way because if you wipe your internal SSD you need another Mac (or idevicerestore) to restore the firmware, if your internal SSD ever breaks you are completely fcked because you can't replace it (only maybe on the Mac Studio) and apple only allows you to boot from that (and *after that a different drive)

I tried using idevicerestore to restore my iPhone X from the ios 16 beta to ios 15.6 using the ipsw file, the command ran fine with no errors but my phone is now stuck on a black screen with the apple logo(no spinner or progress bar).

Unfortunately the guide is taken down by the developer, so the closest I can find the remains of the guide is from this link: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore/issues/237
