JCID has officially released a major upgrade to its purple screen tool, adding support for one-click password erasure on A12/A13 devices while retaining the original system version, and further optimizing the purple screen repair function for A7–A11 devices. This article will comprehensively analyze the content of this update and its practical application in iPhone repair.
I. Core Upgrade: A12/A13 Chip Passcode to Hello Interface
For iOS devices with screen locks (passcodes) or in a disabled state, repair personnel previously could only erase the device by performing a forced reset without the original password. However, resetting is not only time-consuming and prone to errors due to firmware verification failures, but it also forces the device's iOS system to the latest version, which can easily cause lag on older models or render certain unlocking schemes ineffective. This JCID update brings revolutionary solutions to devices using A12 and A13 chips (also covering classic A7–A11 devices):
1. One-click erase and restore, no flashing required: After connecting the device using JCID's professional tools, user data and screen lock can be wiped with a single click, directly returning the device to the "Hello" activation screen.
2. Perfect preservation of the original system version: No need to download bulky official firmware, avoiding various unknown errors caused by upgrades or downgrades, greatly preserving the stability of the original system and the value of special versions.
3. Read and modify underlying (SysCFG) data without disassembly: Underlying data can be read and modified without the high-risk hard drive removal (unbinding/freeing Nand Chip) from the motherboard.
4. Factory mode and accessory unbinding: Supports querying and unbinding data for cameras, batteries, and other accessories without disassembly, as well as repairing specific abnormal states without flashing.
