hey YouTube it’s ICU and today I’m going to show you guys how to downgrade iOS 9 back to iOS eight stage four station one in case there’s a new untethered jailbreak for the firmware that’s liberated prior to the availability of a utility for iOS 9 alright so be started there’s a lot I need to preface with in this video it is going to be more condensed and if you’re already watching this on mobile clearly stop where you’re at and pick it up on desktop because there will not only be annotations down below at the lower end of this video that will allow you to click to skip onward throughout certain parts of it but there will likewise be important status informs along the way as well as links to many jailbreak updates as they become available in the cards so again certainly watch this video on desktop also I am giving away an all new iPhone 6s this Friday be sure to rate this video up in the interests of that fact as well as if you’re interested in a new untethered jailbreak I will definitely restrain you guys advised along the way so click the agree button next to my path reputation if you have yet to to be notified for both sets of things now with that said let’s get into this so why would you want to downgrade from iOS 9 back to 8.4 extent 1 if a jailbreak isn’t available for either firmware well that’s a great question virtually recently Pangu circulated three new jailbreak employs and they did this because they’re probably focused on iOS 9 they don’t really care about eight place four object one but these manipulates are exclusive to that meeting or representing they will not function on iOS 9 so in light of that fact it is possible that other makes may pick up proliferation where Pangu left off and create a new jailbreak for eight spot four detail one before we get one for iOS 9 so I decided to establish this tutorial to leave the choice to downgrade up to you guys we really don’t know which jailbreak is going to come first though so again you can downgrade to iOS eight part four quality one but if wishes to merely make sure you do it sooner rather than later because as soon as Apple’s stop sign iOS eight degree four station one this tutorial will become irrelevant because you can only restore to an IP SW err firmware file that Apple is currently signing as of now they are indicating both 9.0 and 8.4 detail on desktop there will be an annotation letting you know whether apples still signing eight place four site one making it possible to go back to the firmware or not now this tutorial has been in operation on every iPhone iPad and iPod touch that’s able to update to iOS 9 abide newer inventions like the iPhone 6s 6s plus and the iPad Mini for that all ship with iOS 9 also one last quick thing before we get into this you cannot recover from a backup either in iTunes or iCloud that was created on a higher firmware and what do I imply by that well virtually formerly you downgrade to iOS 8 top 4.1 your data increased on iOS 9 will not be restored so you’ll either need to use an older backup that was created on iOS 8 place 4.1 or earlier or simply sign in to iCloud via the Settings app of course to retrieve as much data as now it’s not the best solution but if you don’t have an older backup it’s better than good-for-nothing alright and for this guide I will have a tie down below in the more info to a berth on my place best tech info now we’ll have everything connected there you’re only going to need to download one thing aside from the latest version of iTunes and that is the corresponding IP SW or firmware file for your invention and actually on best tech info it will relate you immediately to this site now which I most recommend it’s absolutely huge for downloading chastise IP SW enters all you have to do is just select your machine from this drop down over on the left and then find your machine now because I have an iPod Touch 6th gen I’m just going to select iPod Touch 6 from there on the right hand side you should have a drop-down of various IPSW or firmware registers now as you can see iOS 9.0 as well as iOS 8.4 item 1 are both dark-green this is kind of your secondary failsafe are responsible for ensuring that Apple is still ratifying eight pitch four point one if it’s red like iOS 8 time for is that means the company is no longer sign it and you cannot reinstate to it but as you can see as of now we can go back to eight item four item one so once you have it downloaded you can continue simply by plug your maneuver into your computer via a USB cable before I do that though let’s promptly take a look inside of the Settings app to show you guys that we are indeed on I nine inside of Settings General about down below at the bottom for the version you’ll notice this iPod Touch does confirm it is running iOS 9 or 9.0 the latest build of course I too have the word app as well as other indicators that we are on iOS 9 such as the San Francisco font and the brand-new pouch app there alright so now that we have absolutely everything out of the course let’s plug in to our computer via USB cable and propel iTunes and as you can see here iTunes automatically sounds up and it causes us this option to set up your new design you can see it says welcome to new iPod that’s because I did recently rehabilitate it to iOS 9 for this tutorial if for whatever reason you get this screen when connecting to iTunes you can only do setup as new manoeuvre because we’re not interested in restoring the data right now so let’s go ahead and merely click on continue to that followed by comes started and then it should just put you inside of the design section of iTunes if that’s not where you are you need to find your device up at the top as you can see here’s the iPod and then exactly click on it and then it will automatically sit you there so we’re at the iPod touch screen now before we can recover we actually have to turn off iCloud’s find my I device feature because you’ll notice now when I try to click on regenerate it will just give me this spur stating that we need to turn off Find My iPad touch before we can rebuild so I’m going to clink OK to that so launch up the Fixes app and then scroll down until you find I clawed once you find iCloud scroll to the bottom and you need to go to find my maneuver as you can see mine says discover my ipod style it will be dynamic based on which manoeuvre you’re actually are concerned with here so I’m going to toggle off acquisition my ipod and it will ask me to input my password alright so I sounded on switch off and as you can see it says turning off find my ipod there it’s successfully finished and now what we need to do is hold down either the option or Alt key if we’re on a Mac like I am or hold down shift if you’re on a Windows located PC so again the option Alt key if you’re on Mac or alteration if you’re on Windows and formerly you do that you need to left click on regenerate so hold down that key on your keyboard will vary depending on which operating system you’re on I’m on Mac we’re holding down option and left clicking on restore so I do have my peculiar stroke 6 Jen is 8 spot 4.1 IPSW file now and we need to open it is now time I will say this if you get an error after you click on open then that can likely be attributed to one of two things either Apple is no longer ratify iOS 8.4 stage 1 or you downloaded the wrong IPSW file in which suit you need to go back and download the suitable IPSW so with that said we’re going to click on open here because everything’s good to go and we will proceed with this recover iTunes is now asking me if I’m sure I want to restore my iPod touch to iOS eight target four degree one and it’s stating that it will attest it with Apple so I’m going to zoom out here and we’re going to proceed with this downgrade so let’s go ahead and click on reinstate here and I’m going to deliver the iPod touch over into view and we’re going to let this entire process romp through I’m too going to leave the iPod touch up on the screen here throughout the duration of it just so you guys can see nearly how long it will take though it may vary for you again based on your manoeuvre as well as your computer that’s why there will be a skip annotation on the desktop version of YouTube that will actually allow you to move forward beyond this point so as you can see we now have a progress bar beneath the Apple logo and inside of iTunes it’s simply territory waiting for iPod all right we does in fact have some the developments on the iPod touch here beneath the Apple logo and only note that the two progress rails inside of iTunes as well as on your design will not align because on iTunes the progress bar is just reminiscent of the current step that it’s on whereas on your iPod Touch or your attention device it actually represents the entire rebuild or downgrade process so that’s when you want to refer to if you’re looking for the progress of the entire downgrade process and iTunes right now is actually to redress the iPod Touch 6th gen severe so recovering to eight object four quality one right now in real epoch all right now iTunes has moved on to verifying iPod regenerate and the progress bar on the iPod touch is almost complete so let’s go ahead and cause this process play through all going to hell as you can see inside of iTunes we have a message stating that the iPod Touch has been successfully rehabilitated and that it will reboot so let’s go ahead and close out of iTunes now and the iPod Touch is just rebooting with an Apple logo once it is up we will actually have another progress bar beneath it that’s fine that’s just the on machine combination step it shouldn’t take too long so just go ahead and cause that process accomplish by the way we can actually unplug right now so I’m going to go ahead and do that and iTunes really demonstrated a pop-up stating it couldn’t connect to the iPod that’s fine all right so we have the Apple logo again once it’s up we should be at the move to set up screen and I’m just going to go through the simple and basic on-screen setup I’m going to be back to show you guys that we are indeed on iOS eight target four degree one all right so inside of Settings General about down below at the bottom for the edition you’ll notice this iPod touch now states that it is running iOS eight point four spot one all right people so that is it for this tutorial I genuinely do hope you liked it and I hope it helped you downgrade from iOS nine if it did
