If you are trying to setupapp an A4, A5 or A6 device and the ramdisk does not load, here is what you need to do:

1. If you have an Intel/T2 Mac (2018 and older), use Sliver 6.2. If you have an M1 Mac (2019/2020+) use SliverM1. DO NOT use any other versions of Sliver, the latest version is ALWAYS best!

2. If you have an A5 device, make sure to use synackuk checkm8-a5 on your Arduino Uno (NOT a1exdandy). This is VERY important.

3. Drag and drop Sliver directly into your applications folder! DO NOT put it in the utilities folder or use a symlink, shortcut, etc…

4. Install homebrew on your computer, follow this tutorial: https://youtu.be/hALgO2yUqt0

5. Open Terminal, type brew install libusb and brew install libirecovery

If you are using Sliver 6.2 on Catalina or Big Sur or Monterey, ALWAYS use the Alternate Ramdisk!

If you are using Sliver 6.2 on High Sierra or Mojave, try the Standard Ramdisk first. If Standard does not work, then reboot, repwn, and try again with the Alternate Ramdisk.

If you have an Intel/T2 Mac and the iPad 2,4 then you need the iPad2.4Bypasser (separate app). Sliver 6.2 does NOT support the iPad 2,4.

If you have the iPad 3, the ramdisk might take 20-50 attempts to load successfully. This is 100% normal and expected, but if you want to make it easier, use the iPad3Bypasser on MacOS High Sierra or Mojave. Please note that the iPad3Bypasser ONLY supports High Sierra and Mojave on Intel/T2 Macs.
