Need help following the written instructions? Watch the video tutorial -> CLICK ME, while doing the written instructions. To remove the mod, simply, open the file that you're restoring to your device, then under the keys, change true to false, then save the file and restore it to your device.

Setup

On your Windows PC, download & install iBackupBot "DOWNLOAD", & iTunes "DOWNLOAD" (if you don't have iTunes already) onto your computer.

iTunes can only be downloaded from Apple's website; if it is downloaded via the Microsoft Store, semi-restores will not work. Install iTunes again from Apple's website if it was originally installed from the Microsoft store.

Files Required

Download: DOWNLOAD

Download the Enable Hidden Prefs backup from the link above, open the zip file in your downloads folder, then drag the Enable Hidden Prefs folder to your desktop.

Preparing your iPhone

Before installing the mod, switch off iCloud Backup and Find My on your device. You can re-enable these settings after you apply the mod.

Applying the mod

Launch iBackupBot, click the folder icon, then select the "Enable Hidden Prefs" folder to load the backup.

Double-click on the Enable Hidden Prefs backup under the backups section, click System Files, then search for .GlobalPreferences (without the asterisk). Open the .GlobalPreferences file to edit it (if prompted to click cancel or ok, click cancel to open the file), then enable the hidden settings you want to enable. The list can be found in the important notes, under the key so like "<key>AccessoryDeveloperEnabled</key>, <dalse/>", replace false with true to enable the setting. Now click the red power off button to save the file, once saved, right-click on the file, then restore it to your device, then finish setting up your device.

On your device, it will display "Restore in Progress." After the device reboots, you'll encounter the setup screen. Simply setup your device, and when you reach the "Apps & Data" page with the "do not transfer data" option, select it and continue following the remaining steps.
