Hi, so il start off by saying i havent saved blobs, ever, so yeh im an idiot. ignorance on my part.
iphone x 14.3, tried to restore a month old backup through itunes today, something went wrong and its in bootloop.
i eventually got it in dfu mode, but all options from itunes, r.e.i.boot (why is this censored?) or wondershare drfone can repair it, but it will update it to ios15.5, which i dont want, i wanna stay on 14.3, i dont mind if i have to endure a clean install and lose some data.

thanks

every wondershare utility is pretty much useless

if you're in a bootloop, that can't save you. it just restores like in itunes.

i'm not sure of any ways to exit a bootloop but a restore, maybe someone else can input thoughts

Succession?

Wait isnt that a tweak (yes it is) (sorry i cant help)

if you are truly stuck in an actual "bootloop" then there is nothing you can really do unfortunately then restore to latest (15.5) with idevicerestore or itunes
