Apple TV 4.4.3 support

Sorry I skipped this version. I've updated TU to work with Apple TV 4.4.3. For those of you with Apple TV 2 - be ABSOLUTELY sure you have your 4.4.3 SHSH for your device... It may be QUITE important.

Apple TV 4.4.4 support

I've updated TU for AppleTV 4.4.4 support. Sorry for the delay! Busy during the holidays :)

TinyCFW: Create a custom IPSW for iPad2 and iPhone4

TinyCFW is a simple tool I put together for a friend of mine. He has an iPad2 GSM and has his 4.3.3 SHSH but since Apple is no longer signing 4.3.3, it isn't possible to downgrade to 4.3.3 without getting stuck in a 1015 recovery loop.
What TinyCFW is:

• It will modify an existing ipsw for an ipad2 gsm/cdma or iphone4 gsm/cdma
• It WILL modify the ipsw TO UPDATE YOUR BASEBAND TO THE LATEST!
• It will create an ipsw that you can use with TinyUmbrella AND iTunes to restore to a version of iOS that you have SHSHs for.
• It is primarily for iPad2 with a baseband OR iPhone 4.

What TinyCFW is NOT:

• A jailbreak
• An unlock
• A tool to protect your baseband.
• A tool that will restore your device to any firmware
• A tool for use with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 3G, iPad, or iPhone 4S

The usage is simple. Start the application (double click on the jar or run the .exe file). You must have java and at least 2.5gb ram. (Yes I know. It's a lot. Get over it. I didn't write this to be massively distributed. I wrote this for a friend and am now just sharing it with everyone). Once the window comes up, click the top button and choose an ipsw for which you have SHSHs for. The app will scan it and tell you the firmware and baseband versions in the ipsw you selected and the firmware and baseband versions that will be in the target ipsw when you click the second button. If you're ready, click 'Save Target IPSW'. This will take a minute or two and when it is finished, you will have a file named:

<your original ipsw name>.bbupdate.ipsw.

You can use this ipsw with iTunes and TinyUmbrella to restore your iPad2 GSM/CDMA back to say 4.3.3 (if you have 4.3.3 SHSH).

This is a VERY initial release. I never intended on it being a massively supported tool. It's just something I used in passing. If it helps you great! This functionality will exist in far more robust form when I finally ever release TinyPwn.

Enjoy!

APTicket update

I've pushed a version of TinyUmbrella that will add an ApNonce to the APTicket request. There is no simple way to handle saving both types of SHSH (one with no ApNonce in the request and one with an ApNonce in the request). At least, there is no simple way for me to do it in the time that I have available for such a change.


In order to be the ABSOLUTE safest, your best bet would be to zip up your .shsh directory and put it in a safe place. Normally I would do something to save this for you but it would be a rather bit TU change for me to manage saving two types of the same SHSH version.


I will keep you posted as I discover more information about what details are and are not important.

5.1b1 Support added

Before you ask; Yes a solution for the 5.x firmware nonce is being investigated... None of us have a working solution yet though. Hang tight.


I have a couple trails and ideas I am trying out for 4.x baseband based restores to avoid 10xx errors. Until then save your signatures as you will never know when they may come in handy...


TinyPwn update: I've not had much time in the past month to work on this. Real life drama, work, etc have taken much of my time. I still intend on a release... eventually... :P Effectively it'll just have to be done when it's done...
