Attempting to futurerestore bootlooped XS Max 14.3 with blobs

[magic flax]

Error I'm currently getting is "Could not find URL of latest firmware version"
According to the SEP/BB Compatibility chart, 15.x should work (breaking faceID in the process)
I found the build ID from https://appledb.dev/firmwares.html under the only currently signed 15.x version, 15.7.1
Tried various unsigned 15.x build ID's but none worked.

I'm also curious if I'm even in the position to use Preserve Data seeing as how it is bootlooped. I believe I fell victim to the infamous random bootloop on ios 14 (taurine if that makes a difference), as I woke up to it bootlooped having worked fine hours prior.

You need to use 19G69 @magic flax 15.7 isn’t signed for a10x and later

[magic flax]

Thank you very much, any advice on the "preserve data" option if it will work in my case?

[jaunty cape]

Preserve data is fine to use it just prevents a14 restores from starting which you have a13 so doesn’t matter @magic flax

If you chose 15.4 or later you can keep faceid

[magic flax]

its physically broken so not bothered. Thanks for the suggestion tho

Hey @magic flax, have a look at this!

ibec

Fix for error code 3, 8, and 10 aka the iBEC error in futurerestore

1. Uninstall all apple drivers via device manager.
2. Uninstall all apple products including itunes and apple device support stuff via control panel uninstall a program. MAKE SURE TO CHECK UNINSTALL DRIVER WHEN UNINSTALLING
3. Unplug and replug device.
4. Check device manager for more apple stuff and uninstall if so with same driver checkbox.
5. Disconnect device.
6. Install itunes64 exe from apple.com itself, no windows store bullshit. This is the best version: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1816?locale=en_US (It will be labeled windows 7, 8 but install it on windows 10, it works fine)
7. Plug in device in recovery.
8. iboot (recovery) driver should show up under usb in device manager. Uninstall it and check the with software box.
9. Run futurerestore.
10. Unplug and replug your device.
11. Run futurerestore again

A12*

[magic flax]

followed to a T and still giving me error

re-plug in installs these 3

ima try a pc restart

[jaunty cape]

Did you uninstall them tho?

[magic flax]

yeah multiple times

FR wont detect device while uninstalled. re plug in, detects device, ibec error

[jaunty cape]

you are missing a step then

If you aren’t it’s auto updating the drivers

[magic flax]

FR requires internet?

wonder if this is causing it

at step 8 this is the only driver that pops up

device is in recovery mode

ok i got it. when the "apple mobile device usb driver" shows, i DONT uninstall it (recovery iboot driver doesn't install because of that i guess), relaunch FR and it works

well i think it's working atleast. on Sending NORData right now and progress bar is moving

ok update still bootlooped

i have 15.4 blobs if that would make a difference

hmm maybe rip apnonce doesnt match anymore
