iOS 11.4 Downgrade No Longer Available – iOS 11.4.1 Has Been Already Released

Not long ago, iOS 11.4.1 was released by Apple and it includes some performance improvements and bug fixes. Following this release, Apple has stopped signing the previous version of iOS, which means that it will no longer be available to consumers. With iOS 11.4 not being signed anymore, all users of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch will not be able to downgrade to this version from now on, thus also making jailbreaking impossible.

How is this affecting the jailbreaking community?

We all know that when the tech giant decides to put an end to an older version of iOS, jailbreak users are the ones that are affected the most by this. In recent times, jailbreaking has made quite a recovery, as it has had noteworthy releases for the most recent iOS versions. However, the fact that iOS 11.4 has stopped being signed by Apple could pose some problems to the jailbreaking community, as all efforts made so far could have been in vain.

Apple is known for regularly stopping the signing of older versions of software updates once they have a new release, so that customers will be motivated to keep their operating system updated.

What’s next?

As we mentioned before, iOS 11.4.1 is now going to be the only version of iOS 11 that users will be able to install on their iOS devices. At the moment, we do not know if any other iOS 11.x releases will take place. What we know is that Apple is only beta testing iOS 12 and the new operating system is expected to launch later this year. Also, public beta testers and developers can already download iOS 12.

Nonetheless, if you have a jailbroken device and you still haven’t made the update, we’d recommend you to ignore it for now, as the latest update from Apple does not have a jailbreak available yet.

They are planning to get the 11.4 beta 3 version on their mobiles and start performing the jailbreak, but no matter what tricks they use, the process is always failing. For downgrading, some users were counting on shsh blobs, while others thought that Xcode could be a better idea.

iOS 11.4.1 Jailbreak Solution May Not Be Possible Yet

The tech world is very complicated. Normally, upgrades are a good thing and bring interesting features which arises the users’ curiosity. With iOS the story is different. Every update will fix bugs and create new security patches that have the role of protecting your iPhone and keeping it up-to-date.

On the other hand, upgrades are not good news in the jailbreak world. In some cases, they can mean certain death. We saw that recently, when Apple announced they stopped signing iOS 11.4. For that matter, we understand that users with upgraded versions of the operating system, like iOS 11.4.1 won’t have the possibility to jailbreak their iPhone.

What does it mean to stop “signing” a software?

When Apple does that, iTunes won’t recognize it, therefore won’t be able to install it on your iPhone. People don’t usually tend to go back to previous OS versions, but jailbreakers need time to exploit iOS, so they have to be one or two steps behind Apple.

Until now, the most recent jailbreak was presented by jailbreak developers working on iOS 11. Thanks to them we were able to see a semi-tethered jailbreak for iOS 11.2 through iOS 11.4 beta 3. In this case, if you upgrade to 11.4.1, you don’t have the possibility to go back. As you might have figured out by now, you’ve lost the chance to jailbreak, at least until someone discovers a way to perform it on 11.4.1.

There are a few ways to revert the update

If you haven’t upgraded to 11.4.1 yet, but you are ready to perform this operation, here’s what you can do. You have to save your SHSH2 blobs in order to revert the iPhone to iOS 11.4. The blobs can be saved even if you are still using this operating system. Keep them as insurance policy, in case you’ll update to 11.4.1.

If you performed the update without saving the blobs, don’t lose your hope. Developers will find a way perform jailbreaks on iOS 11.4.1 for sure.
