Why am I cancelling TrollBox

Hi TrollBox user !

You might be here as you saw on Readme or idk where that I were cancelling TrollBox developement. This is true. Before reading this, please excuse my bad english. You probably use TrollBox to unsupervise your device or to use the LocSim. To not disturb any of those activities, I've only archived the repo so you can still use it. But I won't develop anymore on TrollBox, here is why :

  1. Not well organized

The app's structure and code was written by me 1 year ago when I was learning Swift. It's not stable, not clean at all, and is slow.

The unfortunate state of iOS downgrading
Unfortunately I have some bad news for downgrading.
Before I explain the bad news at the end of this post, I first need to introduce a background of iOS devices.
In iOS 16, Apple introduced a new firmware component known as Cryptex1. Technically, this is a "virtual" co-processor.
It's purpose is to allow Apple to push RSRs (Rapid Security Responses) which are separate from traditional iOS updates and can be installed much faster.
Like other firmwares, it also has a signing ticket locked to a cryptographic nonce (number-used-once).
We commonly refer to the Apple signing tickets as SHSH blobs.
Meaning the firmware can't be installed without a valid signing ticket as well as a matching nonce.
The "big two" components we deal with signing/nonces are AP and SEP. AP is basically the main device chip (Application Processor).
SEP is the security chip (Secure Enclave Processor).
With regards to APNonce, Apple conveniently gave us the com.apple.System.boot-nonce NVRAM property which we use to set the APNonce generator.

How to downgrade from iOS 15 to iOS 14

How to downgrade from iOS 15 to iOS 14

The latest SEP/BB as of right now is iOS 15.1, and is partially or fully compatible with iOS 14 depending on your device. See the appropriate section for exact compatibility info.

Prequisites

Notes

  • If the exploit fails even after multiple attempts or your device reboots out of DFU mode, you'll have to start over from the beginning and be quicker next time. (You don't have to redownload anything though.) You may have to force restart your device if it's stuck in DFU.

Sung to the tune of "Your Reality" from Doki Doki Literature Club
Every day, I imagine a future where I can be with you.
In my hand, is a pen that'll write derivations of me and you.
The bytes flow down into a hash table
Just move your PATH, link the way into this art.
But in this world of indefinite builds,
What will it take just to find stability?
What will it take just to find... that special day?
Have I found every package a derivation that works today?
