Difficulty

Steps

Time Required

Introduction

Now V2.17 3uTools supports downgrading iPhone 4s and iPad 2 to iOS 6.1.3 after jailbreak without SHSH.

  1. 4Ush2v6EVRHCsV1m

    • Launch Cydia and add repo: http://repo.tihmstar.net to enter KDFU mode (Please check the detailed tutorial). Only when your iDevice is in KDFU mode, you can downgrade to iOS 6.1.3. Please make sure your iDevice is in KDFU mode, then continue to downgrade.

    it says failed to fetch when entering this in.

3u Tools is possibly the least reliable method for downgrading, not to mention its data collection and piracy of jailbreak tools such as futurerestore (which is already open source, they just don’t respect the license!), p0sixpwn, and phoenix to mention a few.

I cannot access http://repo.tihmstar.net/

Does anybody know if there is any other way of doing it?

The tihmstar repo is down. You need to download iFile and then download Kloader through it.

First, download iFile

Then, go to this link (on the jailbroken device) and select "open with iFile" https://web.archive.org/web/201704190628...

Afterwards, select the Kloader thing in iFile and select Installer.

After Kloader is installed, go into Cydia and add this repo. https://lukezgd.github.io/repo

From there, you can download kdfuApp normally. :)

Hi, I’ve managed to get my iPhone 4s from 9.6 to 9.5… well it seemed to be already imported onto 3utools to begin with so flashing was elementary. Next, I would try experimenting with a specific guide from 3uTools that uses the behind.exe application to first create a IPSW file… interestingly the file I uploaded was already 6.3.1 ISPW, I tried another which was a 954mB zipped file with iOS approval . But still no luck, 45% through RAM disk … gets stuck and I’m not sure if it will complete ever… checkout screenshot below for the screenshot of error message from behind. Any help is desperately appreciated.
