Hi there. Don’t use the latest version of 3utools when installing the iOS 6.1.3 only use version 2.56, and use version 2.59 for jailbreaking iOS 9. Thank you.
thank you so much i managed successfully downgraded to the original version of iPhone 4s Edit: man this take a lot of time to put this comment effort (please reply)
Still works 5-9-2023! The only thing I encountered was that rebooting in DFU mode didn't work the first time. To solve it I pressed sleep/wake and home button te reset the device. After that Cydia didn't start so I had to run the Phoenix app again. When that process finished, I ran kdfu again and the device rebooted in DFU mode just fine. Thanks for your video!
it keeps failing to install pheonix and saying "please try again later", so I used a different method. The last half of the video where you downgrade still works as of 12/28/2024
Hi there. It depends on the device if it’s carrier locked. If it’s factory unlock or without sim restrictions, you won’t be able to lose the signal of your phone. 😊

Good day. May I now what device are you using and what is the current iOS version do you have? I never encountered an error like that before. Thank you.
Wonderful tutorial, here it only works up to the part that says "Writhing File System" after that, the process crashes, in the Windows device manager the iPhone appears with driver failure, even though they are all ok. Even the "Apple mobile device usb" driver appears with an error when it gets to this part of the process, can you help me?
Good day sir. This method won’t work on iPhone 5 to downgrade to iOS 6. However, you can still dual-boot with iOS 6 and 10 using different method. Thank you.

Hi there. There isn't much of a benefit when downgrading to iOS 6.1.3, but I’ll list down the pros and cons: Pros • Nostalgic looking / Simplicity • Stock apps will load faster • Less temperature • Battery lasts longer • Untethered Jailbreak • Can be upgraded back to iOS 8.4.1 or 9.3.5 Cons: • Difficult to install old apps, unless you jailbreak the device. • Old apps no longer working such as youtube, messenger, etc. • Might be too outdated for some • Fewer features than iOS 9.3.5 • iOS 6 Siri No longer working Thank you. 🙌
Got it too, fixed by installing Version 2.39 of 3uTools. Hope it help, because it helped me! Also, ensure you have a good quality cable, original or replicz of good quality (I had a cheap cable and it worked)
Hi there. If tihmstar repo doesn't work, try to add this alternative repo source: Cydia repo: lukezgd.github.io/repo/ You can install kDFU App in that source. Thank you and sorry for the late reply.
im just wondering, if i do this, is there a possibility of the carrier locked on the phone be unlocked from now on? this is not really something that im worried about, its just, im interested!
Hi there. Unfortunately, if the phone is locked to a carrier, and by downgrading the iPhone to lower iOS version won’t make any changes, it will still be locked to the carrier. Thank you. :)
@@ShanesTech hey again! I still dont have my iphone with me (im getting it back soon) but im wondering, can i still use a newer itunes (the latest one) on the downgraded ipod to add music without it updating itself? thanks!

i try to do with pro flash and It gets stuck at "idevice will connect to recovery mode automaticly" and the phone's screen is black. what can i do? is easy flash works well? what is the differences ?
Hi there. If it's stuck and the screen is black, try to longpress/hold the power and home button to boot up your device. The Easy flash will allow you to install the software without displaying the technical process also it will keep the data on your iphone, but it will end up the same as pro flash, which deletes the data of the iPhone when installing the OS based on my experience. Sometimes the “idevice will connect to recovery mode automatically” happens when the phone needs to be reconnected to the laptop/pc by unplugging and plugging it into the port. Thank you. 🙌
i cant pass the step '' %9 Querying for SHSH file on Apple Server '' on neither version 2.29 nor 2.56. i used to do this process before but now it just not working :(((
Excuse Me mister. I wanna ask. When KDFU puts your device to sleep and the flash runs into an error(to which you need to do the thing over again), can i still wake the device from KDFU mode? Hoping for your reply😇🙏
Good day. If the installation of the software has not yet been started, you can still wake up or boot up the device to its normal state, but when the installation of the software has been started, you may not be able to wake up/boot the device unless you install the iOS 9 again. Tip: To lessen the chances of errors during firmware installation, try not to interrupt the cable. If you were able to jailbreak your device and enter the kDFU mode, there’s a high chance that you will be successful in installing iOS 6 firmware. Thank you! 😀
I can hear the Filipino accent haha. Nice and detailed video anyway! I'll watch it back once I have another 4S, as the one I have here is on iOS 9, and some of the apps installed here will not work on iOS 6, so I can't downgrade as of the moment.
No, you didn't brick it. Try to hold both the home and power buttons for a few sec until it boots up. The 3rd party application should detect the iPhone afterward, if not,try to change cable or usb port. Thank you.
Hi there. Yes, you can use the SIM card but it depends on the 4s that you have if it is unlocked already. In my device, I can use my SIM card and I can log in my Id without any problems. If your device is not fully unlocked by the carrier, I won’t recommend to downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 as you may not be able to activate your phone. Thank you!
Hi there. Yes, you can upgrade your phone normally back to iOS 9.3.6, but if you just downgraded to iOS 6.1.3, the update that you will receive in the phone settings is the iOS 8.4.1, once you upgraded to iOS 8.4.1, you will receive an update for iOS 9.3.6. Through PC, you will receive an update to iOS 9.3.6 even if you have the iOS 6.1.3. Thank you.
Mine didn’t say iPhone 2,1 (iPhone 3GS) was supported, but I was still able to install it? Rookie mistake (Edit: Now I uninstalled it, luckily worked on my iPhone 4S)

@@ShanesTech hi im having this problem aswell. I tried to flash multiple times even on 9.3.5 and 9.3.6, the cable is perfect and i did this on the version you mentioned. Even tried it on the newest version, and older ones like 2.52. Im having these errors all the time: ERROR unable to send iBSS component: unable to upload data to device ERROR unable to send iBSS to device ERROR unable to switch to DFU mode to recovery mode. I dont understand, i downloaded iBSS etc and got into dfu mode with the kdfu app. I have no icloud acc or pin in my 4s. I factory resetted aswell. Always stuck on 11% :/
Good day. That's weird, sorry to hear that. There are two users today and yesterday who have successfully downgraded their 4s devices without encountering any issues. It might be due to the hardware problem of the 4s that you have. I suggest to borrow or try to use another computer to see if it fixes the problem. Thank you. Also, make sure to plug the iphone cable in different ports as some ports are loose which affects the connection.

Hi, i downgraded to ios6 but i no longer have cydia in my iphone, to get it back i have to jailbrake it again?
Hi there. Yes, you need to jailbreak again, but the method for iOS 6 jailbreak is different. Thank you!
Do I need use pc every time I reboot?
No. As long as you can open the Phoenix app that is installed in your phone. Thank you.
I got to the kdfu step did it then it turned black and 3u tools nor itunes detects it. Did i brick it?
No, you didn't brick it. Try to hold both the home and power buttons for a few sec until it boots up. The 3rd party application should detect the iPhone afterward, if not,try to change cable or usb port. Thank you.
Hello it dont work.Do you now any alternative way?
Can i use the sim card after the downgrade?
And log into apple id?
Hi there. Yes, you can use the SIM card but it depends on the 4s that you have if it is unlocked already. In my device, I can use my SIM card and I can log in my Id without any problems.
If your device is not fully unlocked by the carrier, I won’t recommend to downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 as you may not be able to activate your phone. Thank you!
@@ShanesTech Thank you
One more Question can i upgrade the phone again to ios 9 in a normal way from phone settings or pc after the downgrade?
Hi there. Yes, you can upgrade your phone normally back to iOS 9.3.6, but if you just downgraded to iOS 6.1.3, the update that you will receive in the phone settings is the iOS 8.4.1, once you upgraded to iOS 8.4.1, you will receive an update for iOS 9.3.6.
Through PC, you will receive an update to iOS 9.3.6 even if you have the iOS 6.1.3.
Thank you.
@@ShanesTech Thank you
You’re welcome & thank you!
dont you have any other repo to kDFU ?
Hi there. I don't have any at this moment. Thank you.🙌
Will this work for iPhone 4?
Good day. Unfortunately, this method isn’t compatible for iPhone 4. Thank you!
Holyshiet this works! Thank you very much!!!
Thank you very much as well! Have a nice day!
Mine didn’t say iPhone 2,1 (iPhone 3GS) was supported, but I was still able to install it? Rookie mistake (Edit: Now I uninstalled it, luckily worked on my iPhone 4S)
Still I would not use kDFU on my iPhone 3GS if I were you
Hi there. Are you trying to jailbreak your 3GS?
Edit: Ahh got it. I’m glad it worked in your 4S.
is this tethered or untethered?
The downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 is permanent. However, the jailbreak is semi-untethered. Thank you! 😀
hi stuck at 18 percent says sending kernel caxhe had to manual recovery says its connect to the 3u just stays 18 any clues? when had to manually recover before it was just black screening after that it made the percentage go up.
Hi there try to change cables and relaunch 3utools.
I just retested the method yesterday to check if it’s still working and I was still able to downgrade to iOS 6 without any problems. Thank you!
Omg thank you so much! I can experience that nostalgia now :)
You’re welcome & Thank you for the comment. I appreciate it. 👊🏻😀
@@ShanesTech that’s no problem
Thanks man. 👊🏻
Jailbreaking and installing old tweaks and IPAs, Just that good feeling of old Better times
Indeed! 🙌🏻
if i turn the phone off and on again it will still stay on ios6?
Yes. It will stay on iOS 6, unless you update it to iOS 8 in the settings. Thank you!
Does it also work on IOS 8.4.1?
Hi there. You can only downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 if you have iOS 9.3.5 or 9.3.6 for this method. Thank you.
@@ShanesTech Thanks, I managed to downgrade to iOS 6.1.3 from 9.3.5
@@poottruck1222 You’re welcome. I’m glad it worked. Happy New Year! 🎆🎇
i tried this but i kept getting: Unable to switch DFU mode to recovery mode
Hi there. Try the other version of 3utools software, also try to use another cable. Thank you!
@@ShanesTech Thanks, i have the original cable. but what version would you recommend for this to work?
@@ShanesTech hi im having this problem aswell. I tried to flash multiple times even on 9.3.5 and 9.3.6, the cable is perfect and i did this on the version you mentioned. Even tried it on the newest version, and older ones like 2.52. Im having these errors all the time:
ERROR unable to send iBSS component: unable to upload data to device
ERROR unable to send iBSS to device
ERROR unable to switch to DFU mode to recovery mode.
I dont understand, i downloaded iBSS etc and got into dfu mode with the kdfu app. I have no icloud acc or pin in my 4s. I factory resetted aswell. Always stuck on 11% :/
Good day. That's weird, sorry to hear that. There are two users today and yesterday who have successfully downgraded their 4s devices without encountering any issues. It might be due to the hardware problem of the 4s that you have. I suggest to borrow or try to use another computer to see if it fixes the problem. Thank you.
Also, make sure to plug the iphone cable in different ports as some ports are loose which affects the connection.
Try version 2.39 for flashing iOS 6, it worked for some people. Thank you!
Does anyone have an alternative repo? Tihmstar's repo seems to be down...
manual install
Hi there. It's been a while since tihmstar repo stopped working, try to add this alternative repo source:
Cydia repo: lukezgd.github.io/repo/
You can install the kDFU App in that source. Thank you and sorry for the late reply.
This messed up my devices drivers
Can I make it for my iphone 5 ?? Please
Hi there. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible for iPhone 5. Thank you!
Doesn't work for me. I get stuck at "Sending iBEC component".
Hi, stuck in same situation, any possible ways to make it?
I used version 2.50 try that
thanks
You’re welcome and thank you!
what other things should i install after i dowbgrade?
After downgrading, you should add some sources in order for you to download old applications:
How to Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 in 2022

Hi i cant select the phoenix option if I try to jailbreak in 3utools, I can only select Home Depot or Pangu. Do you know how to fix this?
Hi there. If it only shows Home Depot or Pangu, try to check the iOS version that you have, as your device might be running different iOS version. You should have the iOS 9.3.5 in order to jailbreak with Phoenix. Thank you.
@@ShanesTech Thanks, I see im on 9.2.1. Do you know how I can update to 9.3.5, the only update i have available on my phone is 9.3.6
@@hom1xide No worries. iOS 9.3.6 is also supported. Thank you!
@@ShanesTech alright, thanks for the help !
does this work with mac os version 3eutools?
Hi! IN DFU MODE THE SHSH ERROR WILL APPER? PLSSS RESPONDDD
Hi there. I didn’t encounter any errors when I was downgrading to iOS 6. Just make sure you have a good 32-pin connector and install the software indicated in the comment section. Thank you.
will this work on my iphone 5s 12.5.7 downgrade to 10.3.3?
Can i format it after i install ios 6.1.3?
Hi there. Yes, you can reformat it. It will still run iOS 6 and you can still update to iOS 8 and 9.3.6. Thank you!
This was really helpful, had to find another repo source tho
Thank you. Does the other repo that I put in the comment section no longer works?
Yes, it said something like timeout when I added it
it fails when it querys for SHSH. should i click the download the SHSH on the top right on 3utools?
No, you shouldn’t. May I know the device you’re using and its iOS version? Thank you.

@@ShanesTech i got to downgrade mine, i had to use Version 2.36 for 3utools but everything else is the same - WORKS AS OF 2/1/2024
@@ShanesTech ye like I used another tutorial as like I downgraded my iPad 2 in July so I used that same tutorial for the iPhone 4s and it worked
hello i have iPhone 4 but the power buton its not working and i kant put in DFU mode and its stuck in the iTunes icon i try to restor from iTunes and 3u tuools but they all say error i ned hellp...
Hmm. If its on the Itunes icon it means its in dfu. Maybe your iphone is dead? The NAND may have failed, which is the phone.
Can I do this on Windows 11?
It will work probably as long as your pc can run the software :) Thank you!
You are king
Thank you for watching! 🫡
mine gave error: "error unable to restore idevice(-2)"
enable quick flash mode or it wont work
thank you it worked.
What I did:
1 - I uninstalled itunes and installed it using the 3utools toolbox
2 - I put the usb cable in the motherboard port
3 - I redid the same installation procedure for ios 6.1.3 with quick flash mode
Thank you!
Thank you!

sir may i ask if pwede syang ibalik sa dating ios/latest ios support nya kung ibaback up lang sa 3utools? or may other way pa? thank you
Hello po sir. Pwede po siya ma balik sa latest iOS kahit hindi na po e backup. Bale pag nasa iOS 6.1.3 na po kayo, may update po sa setting para iOS 8 then pag nasa iOS 8 na po ang iphone may another software update po para sa iOS 9.3.6.
Pwede din po na e download ang iOS 9.3.6 na software tas e flash gamit ang 3utools.
Thank you po.
Hello! I'm trying to downgrade my iPhone 4S to iOS 6, kaso ang issue ko is hindi sya nag-a-activate sa iOS 9 sa Globe or Smart. Do you think ma-a-activate ko sya sa iOS 6 kahit walang SIM?
