What are SHSH blobs for iPhone?

Both SHSH and SHSH2 blobs are referred to digital signatures deployed by Apple on respective IPSW files. This protects the authenticity of the IPSW files and only signed software would be installed on the device. When Apple releases a new iOS version, it stops signing the previous version. In this way, users need to upgrade to the latest public iOS version. This is where previously saved SHSH blobs are used to forge these signatures in order to downgrade our devices.

4.1 iOS 15 Downgrade Failed Many Times

This is one of the most common issues that users face while downgrading their iOS devices. The chances are that while downgrading your device, the process would stop in between unexpectedly.

It happens when we try to downgrade the device to an incompatible iOS version. A faulty internet connection or low free space on the device can also trigger it.

Quick Fixes:
  • Check the iOS version: Needless to say, if you are trying to downgrade your device to an iOS version it no longer supports, then you might face unwanted issues. Ideally, you should try to downgrade iOS 15 to a previous version and not any other existing one.
  • Have a stable internet connection: An inconsistent internet connection is another prominent cause for this error. It happens when the download of the iOS update is halted in between (due to a poor connection).

When we install an iOS version on the device, the Apple server asks for a digital signature to authenticate it. A signed IPSW file would have a verified signature issued by Apple, letting us upgrade/downgrade the device without any hassle. Therefore, if an IPSW file is not signed by Apple, then it will not be recognized by the server and the upgrading/downgrading process won’t be completed.

There are all kinds of SHSH dumps and readily available third-party tools that can help us force Apple’s signature and create SHSH blobs even after Apple stops signing them. Though, you should know that Apple might revoke the authentication of such SHSH blobs anytime. To do this, you need to have a jailbroken device and use a dedicated tool like iFaith or FutureRestore.

The Apple Software Program lets us test the releases of iOS before the public availability. You can join or leave the program anytime you want without spending anything. If you want to leave it, then go to the Unenroll section of the website.
