DFU restore will always update the device

#

if you cannot access the device for whatever reason and need to restore it and keep it on the same version, try wiping it from icloud if it's still signed in

wouldnt be a dfu restore

I've done a lot of dfu restores on my device and providing my own ipsw file

#

if you do it manually then i guess

#

but this requires OP to be on a signed firmware to do a DFU restore without updating

oooh like that

#

yeah I meant manually like, going into dfu mode -> itunes shows restore screen -> option click restore and choose the ipsw file
