Legacy iOS Kit can be used to restore iPod touch 3rd gen and iPad 1 devices to iOS 6 (and also iOS 7 for iPad 1), iOS versions that these devices did not support.

This makes use of SundanceInH2A by NyanSatan: https://github.com/NyanSatan/SundanceInH2A

iPad 1 iOS 7 is thanks to ipad-1-ios-7 by amy-and-nicole and pwnerblu: https://github.com/amy-and-nicole/ipad-1-ios-7

Note: There may be an issue with booting the upgraded install on some devices, although it should be resolved in the recent updates. See issue #11 in SundanceInH2A.
