How to activate a device on iOS 15 that was futurerestored on 16 sep

15on16sepactivationguide.md

whatisthisthisthisthisthisthis?

This is a guide on how to activate ur idevice on ios 15 (maybe ios 14 idk) when its futurerestored on 16 sep.

DISCLAIMER: I am very aware people might use this to bypass icloud, but I am NOT encouraging you to bypass icloud.

ALSO: THIS IS RECOMMENDED FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY, i am not responsable for ur device being broken (tho idk how it becomes broken via this)

also, i've only tested this on macOS, might work on linux tho if u replace darwin with linux and shit.

if you need halp, joion this: https://discord.gg/BNXR8EjETH

You will need

You will need this file: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1020892312756293695/1102082543253205012/mobileactivationd

You will need the latest version of palera1n for ur platform (only tested on macOS)

You will also need to run this command: git clone -b NormalRamdisk --recursive --depth=1 --shallow-submodules https://github.com/Orangera1n/ramdisk.git

Important info

I am NOT (yet) aware of this working on iOS 14 but it prob will cause ios 14 suffers from the same issue, but the solution is diffirent.

this ONLY works on checkm8 devices, meaning iPhone XS/XR and up, iPad mini 5 and up, iPad air 3 and up, iPad pro 2018 and up, and iPad 8th gen and up are NOT supported. This will NOT work on the iPhone X due to 16 sep breaking restores on it for 15/14.

also, don't use this for bypassing icloud, thanks

Part 1: Preparing.

1st step, unless ur using a tethered downgrade, if ur already on ios 14/15, DUMP BLOBS via ./sshrd.sh dump-blobs, if you already have blobs, copy em.

Restore ur idevice to 16.4.1 or whatever the latest version of 16 is, because we will need to activate the device to get records.

Then activate device, as we are legimately activiting to grab a few files.

Part 2: grabbing files

after cloning my sshrd_script fork and cding into the direcrtory, run

./sshrd.sh 16.0

./sshrd.sh boot

./sshrd.sh ssh

You will then need to run: mount_filesystems

You will need to run: mkdir ~/Desktop/Actiation

You will also need FileZilla and put these settings:

Password is alpine

You need to go to /mnt2/containers/Data/System and enter each folder, then the library folder, until you see the folders called "activation_records" and "internal", and download the files inside both folders to the Activation folder on ur desktop.

You also need to go to /mnt2/mobile/Library/Fairplay and download the whole folder.

You also need to go to /mnt2/wireless/Library/Preferences/ and download the com.apple.commcenter.device_specific_nobackup.plist file to the folder.

Prep done, now we do the actual activation.

Part 3: Activating

First futurerestore to whatever 14/15 ver u have, i don't feel like explaining how lol.

Next step, run sudo chmod -R 755 [drag n drop activation folder from desktop] and enter ur password

Then u run palera1n -c -f to create fakefs, then run palera1n -f to jailbreak

Now rerun these commands: ./sshrd.sh 14/15 fw

./sshrd.sh boot

./sshrd.sh ssh

mount_filesystems

And run mount to see the latest /dev/disk0s1s* number, if its 7, run mount_apfs /dev/disk0s1s8 /mnt8, if not, run mount_apfs /dev/disk0s1s7 /mnt8

Then run:

ldid -e /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd > ents.xml

mv /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd_backup

Now use filezilla via the previous instructions to upload the mobileactivationd in the guide to /mnt8/usr/libxeec on the device, then run:

chmod 755 /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd

ldid -Sents.xml /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd

reboot

Then Complete setup as normal, and use the palera1n loader to install Sileo, then open Sileo and install openssh.

Then boot back into the ramdisk via: ./sshrd.sh boot

./sshrd.sh ssh

and run mount_apfs /dev/disk0s1s8 /mnt8 or if u have no baseband partition, run mount_apfs /dev/disk0s1s7 /mnt8

then run mv /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd_backup /mnt8/usr/libexec/mobileactivationd

then run reboot

then run palera1n -f

and run <code./sshrd.sh ssh

then run cd /var/containers/Data/System and find /private/var/containers/Data/System -name internal

then run rm -rf BOTH of the container numbers (EXcluding internal)

then reboot again and try to activate

then run palera1n -f

then run Darwin/iproxy 2222 22, EITHER RESULT IS FINE BTW

then download this script: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1020892312756293695/1102081527900274688/activate.sh

then cd into the Darwin directory and copy it there

then run chmod +x activate.sh

then run ./activate.sh

Then reboot

The author’s not trying to help anyone here lol don’t expect any text support

Hello? ramdisk.git doesn't exist.Please fix that

You can use SSHRD_Script there is no need for that ramdisk

Can you please write a guide? I have iPhone 8 A11 on iOS 16.5 and would like to go back to iOS 14.3.

@maej72 add me on discord ika6 is my tag

update my iphone 8 from 13.7 to 15.3.1, using sliver and palera1n to activate, the phone call, facetime and imessage works, but all apps function related to touchID don't work. The screen lock can be set, but after a restart, my fingerptint lost. so sad...

does this need computer to activate after reboot or it is untethered

does this need computer to activate after reboot or it is untethered

It is untethered with baseband

I am downgrading from 16.7.4 to 15.7, I have followed every step, including transferring the modified mobileactivationd, and using ldid to set the entitlements, however I am getting an unable to activate error.

Hope all is well, by chance can you repost the links outside of discord? looks like they have been removed. Mega, MediaFire, etc would be super rad if you still have a working copy.

Dead Links for:

• mobileactivationd
• activate.sh

I may have these files archived somewhere.

I don't have mobileactivationd archived but you don't need it you can just use sshrd (https://github.com/kjutzn/Cry-Ptex1)

Cry-Ptex1 didn’t work for me. It relies on SSHRD but SSHRD fails in the last steps. With both cry-ptex1 and SSHRD.

Found the USB handle. main: Starting... iOS 16 iBoot detected! getting get_sigcheck_patch() patch main: Error doing patch_rsa_check()! [-] An error occurred

then it tried to edit my known_hosts even though it failed to build RAM disk.

I was successful downgrading iPad 5 from iPadOS 16.7.7 to 15.7 using this method and SSHRD. Cellular and iCloud both work fine if you're setting up file permissions/owners correctly. But I am having troubles with Touch ID since it resets every reboot. It works if I set it up, but after a reboot it's as if I never set it up in the first place.
Also the iCloud keychain and adding VPN configurations seem to be affected by this, they both don't work.

You can use https://github.com/hiylx/icera1n/ to do this even on linux
