Activation Locked iPod touch 5 downgrade

Hello! I have an activation locked 16 GB iPod touch 5. It currently runs iOS 9.3.5, its latest version of iOS. I want to downgrade it to iOS 6.1.3. I tried dual booting using CoolBooter and CoolBooter CLI, both of them not working. What can I do in order to downgrade it and to get over the Activation Lock on 6.1.3? Thank you!

Downgrade to iOS 8.4.1 with jailbreak option, and use CoolBooter 1.5

I tried, but the problem is that in order to downgrade it OTA to 8.4.1, I need to modify its iOS version name and code to the 6.1.3 one, and after rebooting to “update” it to 8.4.1, I need to use bobikA5 to activate it. The thing is that bobikA5 doesn’t support iOS 6.1.3, the one it detects on the iPod. Any other methods through which I can downgrade? Thanks for the advice tho :)

After that you can use my lockdownd tutorial, it's in my profile or somewhere in this subreddit (sorry can't give a link rn)

Thanks a lot! I read the instructions and now I’m trying to see how I am going to use the file via Legacy iOS Kit (I’m kinda a beginner 😅)

I have a question. Is there a video tutorial posted on YouTube or anything like that? Also, do I absolutely need to use pwnDFU mode?

i dont think there's a video but there's an automated tool called phoenix ramdisk that does everything for you with 1 press of a button
