iTunes 11.1 Kills Custom Restore IPSWs for iOS 7
« on: September 22, 2013, 11:28:10 AM »
iH8Sn0w,  the hacker behind Sn0wBreeze, reveals that Apple has killed  the   ability to restore custom IPSWs for iOS 7 with the release of  iTunes   11.1.

So iTunes 11.1 seems to kill Custom IPSWs for iOS 7. Alternatives will be needed to perform custom restores.
 
(More  technically, iTunes 11.1 recalculates the partial-hash of every   img3  instead of using the ones in BuildManifest.plist).  Which results   in  modified images having a different hash and being rejected by   Apple’s  TSS.
 
In other news, iTunes 11.1 also breaks iREB on s5l8900x devices (iPhone 2G, iPhone 3G, and iPod touch 1G).

Thankfully, it appears as though iH8Sn0w is already working on a tool to restore without iTunes.  You can follow iClarified on
