@Victorsigmoid have you seen the video of that? I just watched it and holy shit its intense haha.
I mean I AM considering it.. but what a nightmare.. its' super time consuming.. and you still need another up to date mac to hook it up to in DFW mode..
So even after ALL that.. you still end up needing a current Mac.. god i hate them

@codemonkeymike I'll be curious to see that, do you have a link to it? @Victorsigmoid

@codemonkeymike Yes it looked like something to undertake if and only if the plan is to learn it as a skill then use it for a while. If I had a few months' worth of laptops to liberate, though, it would be a fun challenge. Plus the desoldering and resoldering is a skill applicable to other repair and analysis. I think Matt Brown's hardware pen testing videos have gotten to me!

@codemonkeymike @Victorsigmoid Fun fact: you don't actually need a Mac for a DFU restore: https://github.com/libimobiledevice/idevicerestore
