Describe the issue iPad mini2( iPad 4,4 ) downgrade error from 12.4.4 to 10.3.3

Screenshots

Computer:

• Computer Model [MacBook Pro 2018]
• MacOS Version [10.14.6]

iOS Device :

• Device: [iPad 4,4]
• Current Version: [iOS 12.4.4]
• Desired Version: [iOS 10.3.3]

Additional context I am sure that my iPad is in DFU model at time with black screen.(the iTunes give my the message ,like picture 2) I deem that the program detect this model at first but after that ,it can't detect iPad in this model. the iTunes still give me a message that it still in DFU model,like picture2.

the only thing I can see is my unofficial charging transmission line. I bought an official line,but it's still on the road.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for using the issue template, makes it much easier for me to help!

What happens if you run "./vieux -p" when the iPad is connected in DFU mode (please show screenshot or text log of this command)? It seems to be an issue with checkm8 not properly recognizing the device as supported, but I want to make sure.

Dear All

i have successfully downgraded the IPad 4,4 to iOS 10.3.3 but it needs to be in DFU PWND Mode to recover the IPSW. Please make sure your Device is allready Pwnd (that needs to be more attempts than usual !!!) sometimes you need more than 40 attempts to enter pwnd/checkm8!!! You can use the IPWNDFU Utility from axi0mX first to get the device in right status. Then use Vieux / or Downgrader from Matthiew.

--big THX to axi0mX--

also----- Thank you Matthiew and Tihmstar for there great work here.

Thank you for your reply at your earliest convenience.

the follows pictures is outcome in the DFU mode.

• ./vieux -p

• ./ipwnduf -p

Now, I am sure that the program can detect the model, but the biggest thing I find is that the device power on when the program is execute Entering PWNREC mode.... After that, the program can not detect the device in DFU Mode. I want to know whether this powering on is normal.[the details is in the following picture ]

in addition, I find the cable is not the problem.( I use the official cable now).

Could you try re-downloading the IPSW? It might just be a corrupted IPSW that is causing these issues

I download the IPSW, but the outcome (log) do not change,like the latest screenshot. I have no idea about this problem. I don't know why the device power on when the program is executing.
