If you have ever wondered how to un-jailbreak your iOS device back to stock without updating to the latest version, this post is for you. Cydia Impactor has been released and it is for all those users with jailbroken devices. It allows you to restore iOS to stock setup without using the “Restore” functionality in iTunes, without updating your iPhone or iPad to the latest version of iOS firmware. It also helps to ensure that you don’t lose the ability to jailbreak your device on all the same versions of iOS.
In today’s post we have a step by step guide on how you can un-jailbreak iOS on your jailbroken iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Cydia Impactor. There are some important things that you need to be aware of first. Cydia Impactor is only compatible with iOS 8.4 and iOS 8.3. It will work with all iPhone, iPad and iPod touch models except the brand new iPod Touch 6. It is also worth noting that currently this is a beta release of Cydia Impactor.
The first step of course will be to launch Cydia and install Cydia Impactor. Make sure that you backup all of your data to either iTunes or iCloud. The next thing you will need to do is turn off “Find my iPhone” from Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone. You will need to plug in your device and make sure that it is more than 50% charged. Once you have this done you will need to launch Cydia Impactor. Tap on “delete all data and unjailbreak device” which you will find at the bottom of the screen. Next tap on “delete all”.
The unjailbreak process will now begin and all that is left for you to do is be patient. You have to wait for the process to complete and this can take some time depending on how much data you have on your device and the number of jailbreak tweaks you have installed.
Once the process has completed, the jailbreak, all the data, and all of the settings will be completed removed from your device. It will go back to stock and the original setup that your device came with. You will be greeted with the familiar looking “hello” welcome screen of iOS from where you can set up your device and activate it again.
If you want to jailbreak your device again you can do it by using either the TaiG or PP jailbreaks that are available. Below is a great video tutorial that we found on un-jailbreaking so be sure to let us know what you think in the comments.
