SemiRestore Brings A Quick One-Click Restore To Jailbroken iOS Devices

Everyone was so scared from restoring his jailbroken device, I know you are afraid form losing your jailbreak and that would be bad for you. And if you’ve been living under a rock for awhile we’ve reviewed an early version of SemiRestore, the app which allows you to restore your device bringing your device to the stock…

This was namely because the app forced you to go through a lot of steps in order to achieve the desired result — a clean iOS device that allows you to maintain the current firmware and jailbreak.

But we’ve got some very good news: SemiRestore has come a long way since that early preview. In fact, on the beta 4 version that I tested, it’s a true one-click solution. Yes, literally, all you have to do is plug in your iOS device, open the SemiRestore app, and click the SemiRestore button.

But in fact there is a way that I loved and already shared with you guys, and it also do the same thing that SemiRestore do. You probably heard about iLEX Rat, iLEX rat is a very simply way to restore your jailbroken device, all what you have to do is downloading the package from Cydia and you are done…

Check out this SemiRestore newer beta version walk-through:

SemiRestore is much easier as it brings only an easy one click restore to jailbroken iOS devices. Just launch SemiRestore app from your computer’s desktop. And when you launch the app, you will see the SemiRestore screen, and it should auto recognize the device you have connected.

Once the restore is initiated, SemiRestore will immediately get to work backing up files, patching files, restoring, and performing the cleanup. It’s a relatively quick process, as it only took about 5 minutes for the process to complete on my device.

One thing that you must be aware of, is that like other restore solutions, all of you data will be deleted after initiating the restore. There is no way to selectively choose what you want to keep, and what you don’t want to keep; SemiRestore blasts away all of your apps, tweaks, settings, photos, documents, etc. It’s essentially a brand new device, only you retain a few essentials — Cydia, repos, and perhaps a few packages if deemed necessary.

The app still in beta, and the statue shows 85% complete on the new official website for the app. I have to say that I was impressed with the simplicity of SemiRestore; it really makes restoring a jailbroken iOS device a completely painless affair.
