The release of iOS 8.1.3 is going to be two weeks old And as many of you already know, this update closes all the doors to the untethered jailbreak.
For several months now, Apple has been giving opportunity to those who want downgrade after upgrade. This has never been very common since a few hours after launching a new firmware, the previous one was stopped signing. Thanks to this new policy that is being adopted with the latest versions of iOS 8, we have a couple of weeks to go back if we want to.
Obviously, there comes a point where Apple completely eliminates any possibility of installing iOS 8.1.2 so if you are one of those who want to enjoy jailbreak, you should downgrade sooner. At any moment this possibility could be eliminated and if that happens, there will no longer be second chances.
If you would like to install the previous version of iOS 8In this tutorial to downgrade from iOS 8.1.3 to iOS 8.1.2 We explain the steps you must follow. The process is simple and relatively fast.
Once you have the Refurbished iPhone or iPad with iOS 8.1.2, you can follow this guide to apply untethered jailbreak using TaiG. Again, it is another very easy procedure that does not give rise to doubts if you correctly follow the steps indicated there.
Of course, this notice is only to users who for some reason updated to iOS 8.1.3If you are one of those who have iOS 8.1.2, you don't have to worry about anything.
We remind you that until arrival of iOS 8.2 in the month of March we may not see any more updates. We are already in its fifth beta and Apple is preparing everything to welcome the Apple Watch, a watch whose launch date is scheduled for April.
I think it no longer allows it, and the version that allowed it to do so was not compatible with the new one from iTunes!
The iTunes thing was a false alarm and in the end 99% of users could downgrade without problems. iOS 8.1.2 right now is still being signed, what will hold from now on I don't know. For that, the IPSW.me website is reliable.
I think that this opportunity to downgrade is more to prevent in case of launching "faulty" firmware like the first versions of iOS 8 that had to be withdrawn.
On the other hand, I think it is a lack of interest in maintaining care in the stability and potential of the older devices that support it, by dedicating itself to applewatch.
Very true Nacho, with the arrival of iOS 8.2 the downgrade to 8.1.2 is going to end, so if someone is interested, it is better that they hurry, otherwise they will be left without jailbreak until further notice (by the scene sure they are working on it)
What if I didn't upgrade to 8.2 and I'm still on 8.1? Can I update to 8.2 using ctrl-restore in iTunes?
On this page you can check if you continue signing or not https://ipsw.me/8.1.2
Why last?
What would happen in the case that for some reason some cydia app makes you restore the phone?
Do you have to update to 8.1.3 or is there a way to avoid it?
If you restore officially, it will force you to do it to version 8.1.3 once they no longer sign iOS 8.1.2, although you can also use this utility to repair your system, as long as no system file is damaged

Once the 8.2.Beta firmware version is installed, my Iphone 6 is locked and must be activated by Apple developers. Is there any solution to this problem
