libirecovery VS netmuxd

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"

Thanks to this son of a bitch for making this shit wifi sync: https://github.com/jkcoxson/netmuxd

I never made it work but netmuxd can technically work on Windows. But you will lose wired connection support, so you will still have to install iTunes to pair the device.

Clone the netmuxd repo git clone https://github.com/jkcoxson/netmuxd.git

I will do a tutorial if I have time tomorrow, but still, just read their GitHub page if it’s not clear and you can’t wait for the tutorial. It’s explaining well.
