Thank you! UPDATE: FEB 2023 - STILL WORKING ✅ I’ve read some comments that their device got stuck at some percentage and I was curious if the method is no longer working, so I’ve decided to try it again to see if it's working still. And I just downgraded my 4S back to iOS 6.1.3 from iOS 9.3.6 and the answer is: YES, the method still works just fine. ✅✅✅ Version 2.59 for Jailbreak Version 2.56 for Flashing iOS 6 (If version 2.56 fails to install iOS 6.1.3, install Version 2.39 instead). ☢️☢️NOTE: If you failed to restore to iOS 6.1.3, try the “3utools version 2.39” for flashing iOS 6.1.3.

Remove Passcodes and Apple ID/iCloud account 5. Only download the iOS 6.1.3 software from the given link on the description. Thank you very much! 😀✅🙌
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.
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!
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.
Hola Pablo. Buenas noches por allá. Desafortunadamente, este método no funciona para el iPhone 4, sólo funciona para el iPhone 4s y iPad 2. Voy a hacer uno si hay un método para el iPhone 4. Gracias! 🫡
Hi there. It's been a while since tihmstar repo has 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.
Im having problems with flashing the device as when this is happening the 3utools aplication says the phone is no longer in dfu mode and the flash failed because of it anyway how this could be fixed?
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. Thank you for raising your concern. I just removed the repo on my iPhone to see if I can add it back, but sadly as of this moment it seems like the server is down and I can't add the repo source. I’ll keep checking it next time until it works fine and I’ll let you guys know. Thank you very much. 👊

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. 🙌
Hi there. You can still add your Apple ID after the downgrade. Try to add it again and carefully read the instructions that is written in your device. Thank you 😀 Sometimes you will get notified by “Apple ID Verification Code” on your main or primary device which you will type the password of your Apple ID followed by the give 6 digit code. 🙌🏻
Hi. Please toggle the button again and wait for a few mins until it says IBSS downloaded. Sometimes it takes a few mins in order for it to be downloaded. Thank you! :)
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!
Hi there. I think yes you can because I can add or sync the songs on my iPhone 4s that is running iOS 6.1.3 using the latest version of iTunes. Thank you!
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.
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. I’ve experienced that problem before. What I did in order to solve it is to factory reset the phone and reattempt to jailbreak again. Thank you!
"Sending restore configuration file"..timeout after 10min waiting,on iphone i see apple logo and empty line under,itryed many itools version tryed few cables,i am always in kdfu mode,tryed win7 and win10 and always on same step stuck,any solution for this problem?I also fresh restore and jb few times,also disable windows defender and antivirus...
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.
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! 😀
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...

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.
Hello, I know this is for 6.1 ios downgrade, but I really wonder if it could be possible to perform ios 5 downgrade? I've been looking for any available tutorial on internet, but I found no luck on it
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)
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 :(((
After downgrading, you should add some sources in order for you to download old applications: How to Jailbreak iOS 6.1.3 in 2022 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tSkjPPTPOAc.html How to Install OLD APPS on iPhone running iOS 9.3.5/ 8.4.1/ 6.1.3 in 2022 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A7hF6GQJoTk.html Thank you! 👊
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. 🙌
@@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.
bro mine is stuck at 11% and i am using version 2.56 with a 16gb iphone 4s and the firmware was iphone4s,1 i think or iphone4,1 why is it stuck HELLLLLP HELP help pls i just got a new iphone 4s and want to downgrade it
Ye that was like a month ago it is all good now surprisingly a few hours after this everything was set and downgraded and had apps and games on it so ye
Hey bro... I'm having problems with this tutorial, the proces got stuked on 20% Waiting for NAND, and after some minutes, it dispays an -1 error: Unable to restore the apple device. I tried on 2 computers, one with Windows 10 Home Single Language 22H2 and the other one with Windows 7 Professional SP1.
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.
@@shoutmj Where did you download the iOS 6.1.3 software? I’ve jailbroken 3 iOS 9.3.6 devices and downgraded them to 6.1.3, but I didn’t encountered an error in the process.
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!
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
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.
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.
