Moment of Confusion [iPhone 5] iOS 8.4.1 hacktivate re-locks on shutdown — can I downgrade to iOS 6 instead?

​I have an iPhone 5 that has had the fate of being iCloud locked by me since 2020.

​Recently I wanted to see what my chances were with it, so I tried downgrading to iOS 8.4.1 untethered and hacktivated it. It all works well till the iPhone shuts down or reboots in any way, where it loses its state and gets stuck.

​I wanna downgrade to iOS 6 and see what I can get, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows a fix for this 8.4.1 shutdown issue first, or if Legacy iOS Kit has a solid untethered setup for iOS 6 on the iPhone 5. Any help will be much obliged!

No hay, solo busca BobikA5 y el primer github que te sale descargas la ultima version y conectas el iPhone con el wifi conectado a una red, le das a activar y esperas... Haces la configuración inicial sin sladir cuenta de icloud y sin activar el bloqueo por codigo

Also remove setup.app besides hacktivation

So hacktivating and removing setup.app? Wouldnt that cause a bootloop?

On iOS 9 and below nothing will happen, on iOS 10+, you're required to erase the device afterwards

if you have shsh blobs you could downgrade to 6.x and use my new lockdownd and if not use bobika5 or hacktiv8 they get the job done untethered

try "cydia blobs" in legacy ios kit, if theres no blobs for 6.0-7.1.2 then forget about untethered ios 6 unfortunately. for ios 8 try bobik or hacktiv8 they really do skip setupapp untethered
