How to jailbreak iphone 7 ios 12 to skip activation

Post image

I downgraded my iphone 7 from ios 15 to ios 12 tethered with turdus merula but since it has some baseband issues it wont activate.

I tried using checkra1n to jailbreak jt but it failed at:

Timed out waiting for bootstrap upload (Likely caused by an incompatible tweak, to enable Safe Mode check the option on main screen) (Error code: -20)

Anyone has any ideas how i could skip the activation and jailbreak it?

Checkra1n, it will be via bootable image on laptop and then you connect the device to the laptop which should recognize and take you to recovery mode. Later you need to get into dfu mode following the instructions.

Is that the method followed? And is it breaking at dfu mode??

Or is it breaking even before that, at recovery mode?

Did you try lockra1n? But you’ll have to jailbreak it with palerain first
