A guide fully covering the process of using Futurerestore to upgrade, downgrade, or re-restore to an unsigned iOS firmware.

Futurerestore Guide

Futurerestore is a tool that allows users to upgrade, downgrade, or re-restore their iOS device to an unsigned firmware through the use of SHSH2 blobs. This guide will teach you how to use Futurerestore in order to upgrade, downgrade, or re-restore to an unsigned firmware.

Before continuing, keep in mind that this guide is based off of this one, and contains information that can change your device's behavior or even damage it. With that in mind, please read the guide fully, as no one but YOU will be held responsible for any damage caused to your device.

Notes and Hints

Throughout the entirety of this guide, keep in mind that:

  • iOS 13.1.3's SEP and Baseband are NOT compatible with iOS 12.x for all devices. This means that you're NOT able to upgrade, downgrade, or re-restore A10-A12X devices back to iOS 12.x. Attempting to use an incompatible SEP and Baseband will cause Futureresto

Walkthrough of what I did to increase performance on my Synology NAS box during an expansion, and afterwards.

Performance on Synology RAIDs

(especially while expanding)

Warning: The exact commands may not match for your particular linux OS / Synology(NAS) device. I had to customize the commands after exploring my particular system's setup.

If you're new to linux, or this is a new piece of hardware / a new synology device, jump down to the section called "Inspecting a setup"

How to Unbrick a Kindle Paperwhite

How to unbrick an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite™

This guide instructs you in how to unbrick an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite. The consequences of following it are your own responsibility. This method (opening the Kindle and using the serial interface) should be a last resort and should only be considered if other methods fail

The Guide

  2. Unscrew the screen and remove it from the base. Note that there's a screw hidden under the adhesive at the top in the middle
  3. Solder tin wire to serial ports on the bottom
  4. Attach tin wire to USB TTY device (order is ground, RX, TX, from the kindle's perspective, where GND is the smallest pad) and plug USB TTY device into your computer
  5. Open Putty on your computer in serial mode, with the serial port specified as your USB device and baud configured to 115200
