Questions? Answers.

Can I still install tvOS 18?

Only on devices Apple is still signing it for. tvOS 18.3 (22K557) is currently signed for 1 model: Apple TV HD (4th generation). Every other tvOS 18 build is unsigned and will be rejected at the end of a restore.

How do I downgrade to tvOS 18?

Only to a build Apple is signing, and only by erasing: a recovery-mode restore in Finder, the Apple Devices app or iTunes with the IPSW for your exact model. A backup made on a newer version will not restore onto tvOS 18, so the backup you need is one taken before you upgraded. Our downgrade guide walks through it.

What does "signed" mean?

Apple's servers must approve a firmware before a device will accept it, and Apple only approves the builds it is currently shipping. A signed file can be restored today; an unsigned one is rejected at the end of the process, however you obtained it. Signing status changes without notice, usually within days of a newer release, which is why this catalogue rechecks it automatically.

Will I lose my data?

A Restore erases the device — that is what makes a downgrade possible. An Update with an IPSW keeps your data, but only when moving to a newer version. Either way, make an archived backup on a computer first; an iCloud backup taken on a newer version will not restore onto an older one.
