[vale grove]

@celest marlin thanks for creating a new thread!

Please use /solved to close this thread when you're done.

[celest marlin]

futurerestore GUI gives me "No data to read" on "About to send NOR data...", it also boots me into recovery mode

[severe charm]

try to run the restore with "--no-rsep" flag

[celest marlin]

alr I'll try that in like 15mins cuh I gtg somewhere

[celest marlin]

flag doesn't exist..?

[severe charm]

are you using https://github.com/futurerestore/futurerestore

[celest marlin]

yeah

💀

[severe charm]

weird

try -j instead

it does exist

[celest marlin]

k...

[severe charm]

did you get it from github releases or https://nightly.link/futurerestore/futurerestore/workflows/ci/main

[celest marlin]

I'm using a debug version

[celest marlin]

yeah

@severe charm

[severe charm]

did it work

[celest marlin]

no 💀

[severe charm]

weird as heck

[celest marlin]

the flag doesn't exist lmao

running futurerestore cli doesn't show the "-j" flag

[severe charm]

i mean your futurerestore gui isnt working, it makes things harder

[celest marlin]

does "no-rsep" mean "no-restore"?

[severe charm]

nope

theyre different

[celest marlin]

k

[celest marlin]

thats why I'm using CLI

[severe charm]

it should actually exist if youre using the correct version

[celest marlin]

lol

futurerestore gui gives me

"No data to read"

[severe charm]

that happens on A11

[celest marlin]

hence why I'm not using it

[severe charm]

because of the rsep thing

[celest marlin]

yep

[celest marlin]

damn

wait

[severe charm]

but its kinda weird why your version doesnt have --no-rsep

[celest marlin]

should I enable no rsep

on futurerestore

gui

it exists on there...

[severe charm]

you said it didnt work

[celest marlin]

CLI didn't show it

GUI is showing it

[severe charm]

i used to restore with gui btw

try using the GUI with --no-rsep

[celest marlin]

ok I'll turn on ye

k sta

rting

I'll ping u when smth happens

[severe charm]

ok

[celest marlin]

yipee

the "bar" is FINALLY actually like loading ykyk

thanks @severe charm

[severe charm]

youre welcome

[celest marlin]

@severe charm unable to restore device

😭

on Sending TSS request attempt 1... Cleaning up...

ima try using the futurerestore GUI downloaded futurerestore binary ykyk?

instead of debug

[severe charm]

you could use it with terminal as well

[celest marlin]

yes

that's what I mean

t

weird

the executable that futurerestore GUI uses

doesn't exist

I mean

[severe charm]

does https://gs.apple.com/TSS/controller?action=2 return anything

[celest marlin]

the flag

[severe charm]

weird

your isp pings apple tss servers

but it says TSS request failed

[celest marlin]

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

apple is so gay

[celest marlin]

hm

can I use a vpn..?

idk

ok now I'm getting

device apnonce does not match apticket nonce

[severe charm]

well i dont think it is an issue with your isp or any connection issue

[severe charm]

ouch

[celest marlin]

what does that mean 😭

[severe charm]

it might've changed nonce with the failed restore

[celest marlin]

aint no way

wait

its bootlooping into restore mode

fuck do I have to set the nonce again?!

[severe charm]

yeah

[celest marlin]

how do I get into dfu

from recovery

[severe charm]

could be set up with dfu mode but it doesnt work from recovery

you have to restore from itunes then set nonce using palera1n or ipwndfu

[celest marlin]

fr?

cant I just

redo the set device nonce thingy

with futurerestore gui

[severe charm]

you could if dfu was possible from recovery but i think it doesnt work

[celest marlin]

damn

[severe charm]

at least ive never got a successful attempt from it

[celest marlin]

alr I guess I'll just

restore my device to 16.3

I have a backup + blobs so

it'll be fine

alr thx#

oh and @severe charm

do I have to setup my device

[severe charm]

nah

[celest marlin]

before I can use futurerestore

alr

[celest marlin]

@severe charm alr I just reset my phone

I'm running futurerestore with set nonce and with use pwndfu on

okay?- unable to send ibss component ong

[severe charm]

yeah its right

if it enters recovery mode then nonce has been set

[celest marlin]

ok

[celest marlin]

@severe charm I keep getting this now

[severe charm]

did you set nonce

then unchecked pwndfu

[celest marlin]

idk if nonce is set...

[severe charm]

try to restore

it might be set up now

[celest marlin]

kk..

@severe charm

apnonce doesn't natch

match

[severe charm]

damn

it didnt set up nonce at all

fr trolling rn

[celest marlin]

fr...

I was using the cli

I'm going to try gui

@severe charmalr I found device in restore mode so I think nonce is set 😃

nope

@loud turtle

[celest marlin]

not for that video bro

ignore it

I cant use futurerestore

that's my issue

[green elm]

That’s @sterile sluice's realm really. Don’t use the GUI though. Use the command line

[celest marlin]

read the fucking title

.............

"Unable to place device into restore mode" on futurerestore C L I

😭

[loud turtle]

?

[celest marlin]

hi overwatch profile pic person

[green elm]

It was for the ping

[loud turtle]

[celest marlin]

great geniuses are ignoring my thread

😊

[green elm]

Not really. I’m at work and I haven’t really checked it out. I read it bc I was pinged

[celest marlin]

😭

[green elm]

Be patient

[celest marlin]

meanwhile its been 3h+

[celest marlin]

seriously...

[balmy cedar]

its 12 pm on a wednesday and it was 9am when you asked

people are gonna be busy

nor do people want to help when you keep acting like this

[celest marlin]

ok

[celest marlin]

that moment where you find out what a timezone is

😱

[balmy cedar]

i'm aware of timezones

and it applies here as well considering i'm pretty sure most geniuses are in the us

[celest marlin]

suprising

💀

[normal sage]

i know that's what you did
but i suggest just pwning, and restoring from there

[celest marlin]

https://gist.github.com/0xallie/aac55c97f7925cddcf5ec3167f85dfe8 uhh

it doesn't say that in there

it just tells me to restore

I've already set nonce

and stuff

[normal sage]

the first thing it says is to enter pwndfu

[celest marlin]

yeah but that setp was only to set the nonce

and for other things

I'm on step 3 💀

[severe charm]

his nonce is fine

the issue is restore itself

[celest marlin]

"uncheck pwn restore"

[celest marlin]

yeah

[zealous mason]

That's for nonce setting

[celest marlin]

yes the god has arrived

[zealous mason]

Just pwn restore

[celest marlin]

ok

[normal sage]

i'm well aware

[celest marlin]

so do I just

pwn with gaster while in recovery mode..?

[zealous mason]

No

Go back to dfu mode

[celest marlin]

ok

[normal sage]

no, that requires dfu

[zealous mason]

Pwn and then restore with --use-pwndfu

[celest marlin]

ik hence why I was asking

[celest marlin]

ok

alright.......

yep

@zealous mason "Device is in unexpected mode detected!"

💀

wait I think that happened because it was in normal mode 1se

[normal sage]

how did you end up in normal mode- i

[celest marlin]

phone rebooted

idk why

alr I'm trying again

wtf

device isn't dfu mode

w h a t ? ? ?

[zealous mason]

You were probably in fake dfu

As I like to call it

[celest marlin]

how lmao

I pwned with gaster btw

[zealous mason]

Go to recovery mode first and then follow the steps for dfu mode

[celest marlin]

idk how to get into dfu mode from recovery

does it tell me how or..?

[normal sage]

the same way you do normally

[zealous mason]

You just, do regular ass dfu mode steps

[celest marlin]

so vol down and side for 5s then

yeah..?

tried doing vol up vol down side until screen blank then the steps I said above and it just reboots 😔

[zealous mason]

You'll need to let go of volume down super momentarily before you begin pressing and holding both volume down and the power button

Otherwise the phone won't begin entering dfu correctly

[celest marlin]

wdym ?

so like press vol up + vol down and then hold vol down + side button?

[zealous mason]

Sorry I got that wrong

[celest marlin]

ae

[zealous mason]

After the volume up and down yknow how you're pressing and holding power for a bit

[celest marlin]

yeah?

[zealous mason]

When you're counting for 10 seconds while holding that

When you reach the 10th second. Momentarily let go of power button and THEN continue the rest of the steps

[celest marlin]

so vol up + vol down + vol down hold + side hold + wait 10s + on the 10s end let go of side + keep hold vol down?

alr.

[zealous mason]

Nono

[celest marlin]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[zealous mason]

Not volume down I already said

[celest marlin]

so no holding vol down?

[zealous mason]

Volume Up, volume down, press and hold power for 10 or so seconds. Momentarily let go of power, press and hold both power and volume down for 5 or so seconds, let go of power but keep holding volume down

[celest marlin]

yessir

it worked

alr let me try pwning

ok I'm futurerestoring AGAIN

[zealous mason]

You did do this from recovery, right

[celest marlin]

💯

I don't have to replug anymore

so that's a very good sign ig

it just said that

it already set the nonce

I didn't add the set nonce flag, do I remove --use-pwndfu @zealous mason ?

[zealous mason]

You don't need the set nonce flag

[celest marlin]

I know

its not there

but it set the nonce

[zealous mason]

Also no, don't remove --use-pwndfu

You're doing a pwndfu restore

[celest marlin]

ok...

well it tries to set nonce

but I don't need to reset the nonce

[zealous mason]

Yeah as it should

But it's already set so it ignores it

[celest marlin]

no...

it ended the proccess

lol

[zealous mason]

Because you still have set-nonce enabled

[celest marlin]

I don't

I am using the CLI

[zealous mason]

You clearly do

[celest marlin]

no "--set-nonce" flag anywhere

[zealous mason]

It's not supposed to end the process it clearly crashed

Because frgui won't show you that it crashed

[celest marlin]

lmao I'm using CLI

wait I got

*** Incorrect guard value: {some numbers}

does this mean anything

[zealous mason]

Nah that's just generic info

[celest marlin]

kk

[zealous mason]

This is the beloved nonce set crash that cryptic has tried forever to fix but anyone who experiences it and tries to help doesn't have an attention span longer than 24 hours so they just vanish

[severe charm]

hydrate my dear

[zealous mason]

Cock

[celest marlin]

💀

[celest marlin]

😭

do i rerun it or do I first get it out of "fake dfu" and get it into real dfu again?

[zealous mason]

Well it won't be in dfu anymore if it got anywhere into the nonce setting process

Wait

[celest marlin]

yeah

hm?

[zealous mason]

Wait wait wait

What version are you restoring to

[celest marlin]

what what what??!?!

[celest marlin]

16.1.2..?

from 16.3

with blobs

if you mention delayota

I'm gonna crush ur brains out

[zealous mason]

Ah lovely. Futurerestore doesn't work on iOS 16 yet

[celest marlin]

.

ur joking

next joke

[zealous mason]

Correction, anything that's not the latest iOS 16 version

If the restore actually started it would have bricked about 3/4's of the way through and failed

[celest marlin]

.

I was on 16.2

until @severe charm told me to reset

I'm going to commit hate crimes against you jaoo 😡

[severe charm]

you were bricked /shrug

[celest marlin]

the fog is coming

[zealous mason]

Just delayota tbh

[severe charm]

bro but how

[celest marlin]

ok fuck it 15.6RC is still signed so ig I'm gonna delayota

yeah

[severe charm]

thats actually bruh moment

[celest marlin]

idk how to tho 💀

[celest marlin]

the fog is coming.

the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.the fog is coming.

😃

[severe charm]

that happend on the first restore

[celest marlin]

yep

alright which babe wants to guide me through delayota

aint no way

why does idevicecentral say 15.6RC isn't signed...

no

fuck

[normal sage]

still signed
(i mean this is for another device but apple doesn't just kill signing for one device)

[celest marlin]

yes ik

minor skill issue: never been solved but I just downgraded to 15.6RC and I'm now delayota'ing to 16.1.2

this is a huge ass workaround

cant believe yall didn't give me the idea earlier

smh
