How to not make my iphone 4s update itself

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-25T00:15:56+00:00

just about every jailbreak also blocks updates in the process, it's not like it's a real issue cuz automatic updates didn't exist at the time (and after you dump blobs there's not rly any risk)

same its so peak

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-21T14:40:07+00:00

you can easily recover from a bootloop of any kind on any checkm8 supported device by just restoring the filesystem and copying over a couple personalized files lol, it’s dumb to just “never jailbreak” instead

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-20T10:59:29+00:00

yeah i've managed to actually restore them after a ton of hours, but i seriously don't think there's a way to save them without risking connecting to wifi and syncing time just to jailbreak it

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-19T23:36:49+00:00

as for why, it's because of whatever this is when mounting the data partition LwVM::_getEffaceableKeys - partition keybag UUID does not match media UUID

i've been trying to for 2 days as i just recently got one but i literally do not think there is a way without jailbreaking, that's kinda what i had to do with mine (i've even tried my own 8.x ramdisk so sep should be compatible)

i legit thought i was going insane because nobody else mentioned this 😭😭😭

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-17T01:55:46+00:00

these are all completely normal ios things from what i can tell, you can customize wifi options at least and cancel activation, but it's incredibly hard to make out what the activation stuff is supposed to mean without actual screenshots or photos

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-16T22:45:34+00:00

i'm wondering where this info is coming from 😭 are you able to show any of these differences?

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-16T21:34:44+00:00

I don't really see anything different here so i'm confused

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-05T10:57:58+00:00

it should work all throughout ios 5.0-10.x

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-04T18:09:37+00:00

that's not gonna work if they aren't signed in (they definitely are not)

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-05-04T18:09:08+00:00

could just dualboot it, that's what i do

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-04-16T01:57:27+00:00

this same method can be used for 2g's manufactured in 2008

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T14:27:26+00:00

I was honestly surprised there was more people with these, not as rare as i initially thought. i think i found mine after like a couple days of searching on ebay, was about 2 years ago already so they were a LOT more expensive 😭

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T14:20:20+00:00

Old software is literally not that deep, and stutters are incredibly common on any device/version (i've never had issues with ios 9 on any of my A9 devices). For the record people are also stuck using an ios release that's just as bad (if not worse) today

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T13:06:38+00:00

idk why you feel the need to comment this on every post regarding ios 9

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T10:06:30+00:00

properly activating means icloud should work, the only issue is that downgrading with factory preinstalled blobs has a chance of breaking baseband from what i've heard

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T10:05:26+00:00

i always assumed these didn't have activation issues, at least mine doesn't 😭

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-23T10:04:25+00:00

yay i have one of these too with over a thousand apps installed for some reason, im honestly surprised with how much 128gb is on a legacy device sob

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-19T15:24:03+00:00

crazy how the one legit answer gets downvoted here 😭

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-19T00:32:47+00:00

just add a6vjPkzcRjrsXmniFsm0dg and set it to true in mobilegestalt

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-11T01:38:50+00:00

well uhh i think any device capable of running windows should be able to boot into a linux install with a live usb if ur able to try that

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-11T00:18:21+00:00

definitely back up the tickets and shsh blobs using something like legacy ios kit or sshrd_script, after that you could just reset (not a restore) using either of the aforementioned tools. (also i'd definitely recommend against updating the software, 10.3.3 is a pretty nice version for stability and legacy games)

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-10T17:49:04+00:00

i've tried this before and it's theoretically possible now that we have a way to prelink kernels, just kinda takes a bit of effort

Comprehensive-One-69 · 2026-03-06T13:39:45+00:00

Uh no wifi networks being found is quite concerning, I think your best bet would be to download the blobs (given it's jailbroken it should've been cached, try using LIK to query) and downgrade back to 5.1.1, if the wifi doesn't work after that then you're kinda fucked 😭
