OTA Downgrade

OTA Downgrade refers to the process of restoring devices to an "OTA signed" version. These versions are being signed by Apple, making downgrades possible, but it cannot be done through iTunes. Legacy iOS Kit can do this procedure for users as long as they fulfill the requirements.

The three versions that are "OTA signed" are iOS 6.1.3, 8.4.1, and 10.3.3. However, the versions supported for each device vary, see the table below for details.
