+=====
-## ---Installing idevicerestore---
+The idevicerestore tool allows to restore firmware files to iOS devices.
-## First We Need to Install the dependencies
+It is a full reimplementation of all granular steps which are performed during
+restore of a firmware to a device.
-sudo apt-get install build-essential automake cmake autoconf \
-libreadline6 autotools-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
-libplist1 libplist-utils libplist-dev libplist++-dev \
-libzip-dev git-core git-arch git-cvs git-svn git-email \
-git-daemon-run gitk gitweb git-doc rsync curl libgnutls-dev libtool
-python-dev libreadline-dev libusb-dev
+In general, upgrades and downgrades are possible, however subject to
+availability of SHSH blobs from Apple for signing the firmare files.
-## Now to get what we need from Git
+To restore a device to some firmware, simply run the following:
+$ sudo idevicerestore -l
-git clone git://git.marcansoft.com/usbmuxd.git
-cd usbmuxd
-cmake ~/usbmuxd
-make && sudo make install
+This will download and restore a device to the latest firmware available.
-cd ~
+Requirements
