Firstly shout out to the developers for Semaphorin, there is no too much experience I can found for this tool. And considering the 16.7.10 maybe the last firmware for A11 devices, I hope I can write this down to contribute for the community.

I have tried these two scripts:

The first one is working for me. My environment is Intel Hackintosh with 10.15.7. I tried 13 Ventura but it seems didn’t work well.

When I jump to the new Macos, the dependency should be done first so that we may not meet too many failed when exectuting the script.

What have I done (something was included in the script, but we can do it at first to prevent the failure):

  1. Xcode Command line tools: xcode-select install
  2. Homebrew install (optional): /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
  3. Install python: recommand install latest pkg from
  4. Python 3.14 working on this script.
  5. Install pyimg4: python -m pip install pyimg4
  6. Install Java 8 
  7. Prepare a Apple A to C cable (avoid to use third-party cable)
  8. Restore to 16.7.10 by DFU mode,activate the phone and get to the home screen.

And then run the script: ./semaphorin.sh 11.3 --restore

If everything ok, this won’t use too much time to complete the whole process(half an hour).

Issue may happen when restore:

  • checkra1n or pa1erain keep looping: This happened when I use the No.2 script above. I changed to No.1 script and solved.
  • Script said Press enter when fully booting the ramdisk but the screen is nothing show up : Restart the process
  • Once we finish the process but it still cannot boot to 11.3, it’s better to restore to latest firmware and restart the whole process. It sound not smart but works.
  • Apple logo looping: Press up down once and keep pressing the side button, it will go to the recovery mode.(The restore was finished but we need the tool to boot in to system)

After all I am not the expert for the script and this research, just want to share my journey when run this script, I hope something above may help you. (Actually the phone is looping now at the booting stage after I got success LoL) Good Luck!
