Title: How to back up SHSH? Hot Topics and Operation Guides on the Internet in the past 10 days
Recently, iOS device jailbreak and system downgrade have become hot topics again, and many users are concerned about how to back up SHSH to retain downgrade permissions. This article will analyze the necessity and operation methods of SHSH backup in detail based on the hot contents of the entire network for the past 10 days, and attach relevant tools and version compatibility data.
1. What is SHSH? Why do I need a backup?
SHSH (Signature HaSH) is the digital signature of the device firmware by Apple servers to verify the legitimacy of system installation. When Apple closes the verification channel of the old version of the system, only users with SHSH backups can downgrade through special methods. The following is the verification of iOS version shutdown that has been hotly discussed in the past 10 days:
| iOS version | Verify the closing date | Hot discussion index (1-10) |
|---|---|---|
| iOS 16.5 | 2023-10-15 | 8.2 |
| iOS 15.7.9 | 2023-10-10 | 6.5 |
| iOS 17.0.1 | 2023-10-18 | 9.0 |
2. Essential tools for backing up SHSH
According to the heat of discussion in the Science and Technology Forum, the following tools have been frequently mentioned in the past 10 days:
| Tool name | Supporting equipment | Popular Features |
|---|---|---|
| TinyUmbrella | A7-A11 chip | One-click backup/restore SHSH |
| iFaith | iPhone 4s and earlier | Offline SHSH extraction |
| iOS 15+ jailbreak tool | A12+ chip | Integrated SHSH backup module |
3. Detailed backup steps (taking TinyUmbrella as an example)

4. Things to note (from recent user feedback hotspots)
| Question Type | Frequency of occurrence | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Backup failed | 32% | Replace USB port/restart service |
| File corruption | 18% | Re-download the tool |
| Version incompatible | 45% | Confirm the device chip model |
5. Recent hot spot extensions
1.iOS 17 jailbreak progresses: Developer @ModernPwner announced a new way to exploit the checkm8 vulnerability, driving the growth of SHSH backup demand.
2.Apple policy changes: Starting from October 12, some old devices will need to be activated forcing the system to be updated forcing the SHSH to increase the urgency of backing up SHSH.
3.Third-party tool risk: A forum exposed the incident of maliciously modified version of TinyUmbrella stealing Apple ID, and it is recommended that the tool be downloaded only from the official website.
6. Summary
Against the backdrop of Apple's accelerated shutdown of system verification, timely backup of SHSH has become the key to retaining the right to downgrade.
