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.

Instructions:

Step 1:

On your Windows PC, install iBackupBot and iTunes (if iTunes is not already installed).

Note that iTunes must be downloaded directly from Apple's website. If you installed it via the Microsoft Store, semi-restores may not work. In that case, uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from Apple's website.

Step 2:

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.

Step 3:

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

Open iBackupBot and click the folder icon and select the 'Enable Hidden Prefs' backup. Under the 'Backups' section, double-click it, and select 'System Files.' Search for '.GlobalPreferences,' then open the file (if prompted to click cancel or ok, click cancel to open it), then enable the hidden settings you want to enable. The list can be found in the important notes, under the key so like "AccessoryDeveloperEnabled, ", replace false with true to enable that 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.

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.
