That’s mostly done with a Jailbreak and the tweak Clutch as well as MTerminal. I’ll probably do a complete tutorial sometime.

What are Blobs? How do I save them?
SHSH Blobs can help you downgrade on old iOS devices. You can check if you have some saved with iFaith (works best with Windows 7)
[https://github.com/iH8sn0w/iFaith/releases].
Using them works best with this Downgrading Kit [https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS-Kit].
You can also save them yourself with the Downgrading Kit, if you have a "rare" version on your device for example.
ONLY SAVE ONBOARD BLOBS WITH IFAITH ON WINDOWS 7 AND BELOW!
BECAUSE IT CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE.
I’m Jailbroken. What can I do now? Here are a few examples:
I’m not Jailbroken but I still want to do some cool stuff. What can I do? Here are a few examples:
- Sign in with an AppleID connected to a newer device (type the password first, then without a space the 6 digit 2FA code after)
- Download the App on the newer device and if it’s in your purchase history, you can download the last compatible version without any issues
I hope I could help with this collection of links and information. ;)
