How to Restore iPadOS 9.3.2 IPSW

🖥

iTunes (Windows / macOS Mojave and older) & Finder (macOS Catalina+)

  1. Download the iPad3,5_9.3.2_13F69_Restore.ipsw file to your computer.
  2. Connect your iPad 4 (GSM) to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. Open Finder (macOS Catalina+) or iTunes (Windows / older macOS) and select your device.
  4. To Update (keeps data): hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click Check for Update.
  5. To Restore (erases data): hold Option (Mac) or Shift (Windows) and click Restore iPhone/iPad.
  6. Navigate to and select the downloaded .ipsw file, then confirm.
  7. Wait for the process to complete — do not disconnect the device.
⚠️ Note: This firmware is no longer signed by Apple. iTunes/Finder may reject the restore. Use a tool like futurerestore if you have saved blobs.
⌨️

idevicerestore (Command Line)

An open-source command-line tool that restores IPSW files without needing iTunes. Useful for advanced users, automation, and custom restore workflows.

  2. Connect your device and put it into DFU mode.
  3. Run the restore command:
idevicerestore -t iPad3,5_9.3.2_13F69_Restore.ipsw

🔓

futurerestore (Saved Blobs / Downgrade)

futurerestore allows restoring to unsigned firmware like this one when you have saved APTickets (blobs) from a tool like TSSSaver or shsh.host.

  1. Download futurerestore from github.com/futurerestore/futurerestore.
  2. Ensure you have a saved .shsh2 blob for iPadOS 9.3.2 (13F69) on your iPad 4 (GSM).
  3. Put your device into DFU mode and run:
futurerestore -t your_blob.shsh2 --latest-sep --latest-baseband iPad3,5_9.3.2_13F69_Restore.ipsw
⛔ Warning: Using --latest-sep requires the latest SEP to be compatible with iPadOS 9.3.2. Always verify compatibility before restoring to avoid a bricked device.
📲

Entering DFU Mode

DFU (Device Firmware Update) mode is required for most manual restores. The button combination varies by device:

iPhone 8 / X and later / iPad with Face ID
Press & release Volume Up → press & release Volume Down → hold Side button until screen goes black → hold Side + Volume Down for 5 s → release Side but keep Volume Down for 10 s.
iPhone 7 / 7 Plus
Hold Side + Volume Down for 8 s → release Side but keep Volume Down for 10 s.
iPhone 6s and earlier / iPad with Home button
Hold Home + Sleep/Wake for 8 s → release Sleep/Wake but keep Home for 10 s.

💡 Tip: In DFU mode the screen stays completely black. If you see the Apple logo or a "Connect to iTunes" screen, you entered Recovery mode instead — try again.
