Important Notice About iOS Downgrading

Before upgrading, check Apple's signing status for your current and target iOS versions. Once Apple stops signing an iOS version, 3uTools cannot downgrade your device to that unsigned version.

If you may want to downgrade in the future, check the signing status before upgrading.
