Damn time to update my old iPhone 5 before they close the 8.1 window

Wait I can still update to 8.1 right? I don't wanna be late and realize when iTunes says no
 
Golden era almost over 8.1.1 released

Do you mean Cease and Desist?



Unless you're trying to 'Assist' the Chinese developers?


Haha yea.

Check the websites above. Maybe they're going to keep 8.1 live since people are having problems with 8.1.1 still. I thought it'd be closed by now.
 
Just had a buddy try to restore to 8.1 to jailbreak his 5s and he said it didn't work. =\
 
Still shows 8.1 is being signed.


Yea that website does but it didn't work for him. Maybe they aren't updated in real time.

What happens when you try to restore and it isn't being signed anymore? Does it just give you an error before updating or does it start to update, error out, and then force you to update to 8.1.1?

Chances are your friend did something wrong. When apple stops signing developers usually announce it.
 
Anyone know if they're still signing 8.1? I know its a long shot but I'm not sure if the linked sites are updated regularly
 
Restore my 6+ to a fresh 8.1. Some tweak is giving me grief and if I can, I'd rather wipe the phone and only install the main basic ones I know are safe.

download the correct 8.1. ripsaw files FOR YOUR DEVICE, shift (alt on a mac) + click restore and select the ipsw
 
Downloading now. Just to confirm, 6+ is iPhone 7,1 and 6 is iphone 7,2?

dfu mode is not necessary unless you are having issues booting. What are you trying to do?


I always use dfu to restore from a jailbreak. Just seems more, I dunno, secure?

Actually, nope you're right.
