Installing Dependencies:

Open a new terminal and run:

• sudo apt update -y
• sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev libusbmuxd-tools libimobiledevice-utils usbmuxd libimobiledevice6 -y

---

Preparing Files:

1. Extract the Turdus Merula archive.

2. Locate the following binaries in the extracted folder:

• ra1n_libusb
• idevicerestore

Now, make them executable by running the following commands in a terminal:

• sudo chmod +x <drag ra1n_libusb binary here>
• sudo chmod +x <drag idevicerestore binary here>

Tip: Just drag the binary files into the terminal window after typing the command.

---

Starting/Restarting USBMUXD:

In a new terminal type these commands one by one:

• sudo systemctl stop usbmuxd
• sudo usbmuxd -p -f

Leave this terminal minimized.

---

Prepare the Device:

1. Connect your device to your Linux PC.

2. Place the device into DFU mode.

3. In terminal, run:

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -ED

Wait for it to complete. This places the device into Pwned DFU mode.

---

Restoring the Device:

1. Once again, place the device into DFU mode.

2. Run the restore command:

• sudo ./idevicerestore -o <path-to-your.ipsw>

> Replace `<path-to-your.ipsw>` with the path to your IPSW file.  

> You can drag the IPSW file into the terminal to automatically paste its path.

Wait for the restore to finish.

---

Booting the Device:

1. Re-enter DFU mode.

2. Run the boot command:

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -t <iBoot.img4> -i <signed-SEP.img4> -p <target-SEP.im4p>

>  These files are generated in the `img4` folder after restore in the same directory.  

> Open the folder and drag the appropriate `.img4` files into the terminal to complete the command easily.

---

Done! Your device should now boot the target iOS version.

A9/A9x Downgrade Guide:

Tethered A9/A9x Downgrade Video Guide

(Install Deps, Restart USBMUXD & "Chmod" files as above)

Step 1: Enter Pwned DFU Mode

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -ED

> This will place your device into Pwned DFU mode.

Step 2: Generate the SHC block from your target IPSW

• sudo ./idevicerestore --get-shcblock [path_to_ipsw]

> Replace [path_to_ipsw] with the full path to your downloaded IPSW file.

> A file will be created inside the "block" folder of Turdus Merula.

Step 3: Re-enter Pwned DFU Mode

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -ED

> Your device will be in recovery mode after the SHC block was generated, so you must re-enter Pwned DFU mode again before proceeding.

Step 4: Generate the PTE block using the SHC block

• sudo ./idevicerestore --get-pteblock --load-shcblock [path_to_shcblock] [path_to_ipsw]

> This creates the PTE block required for restoring without SHSH blobs.

> Replace [path_to_shcblock] with the path to the SHC block file from the "block" folder, and [path_to_ipsw] with the IPSW again.

Step 5: Re-enter Pwned DFU Mode again

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -ED

> The device likely will be in recovery mode, you'll need to go back into Pwned DFU mode.

Step 6: Begin the downgrade using the PTE block

• sudo ./idevicerestore -o --load-pteblock [path_to_pteblock] [path_to_ipsw]

> This initiates the actual restore process.

> Replace [path_to_pteblock] with the path to the PTE block file from "block" folder, and [path_to_ipsw] as before.

> After restoring, your device will go into recovery mode. Enter DFU mode again and run this tethered boot command using the PTE block.

Step 7: Perform the tethered boot after downgrade

• sudo ./ra1n_libusb -TP [path_to_pteblock]

> PTEblock file should be in the "block" folder of Turdus Merula.

> Done! Your device should now boot the target iOS version.
