| Cause | Explanation |
|-------|-------------|
| Apple signing window closed | The iOS version is no longer being signed by Apple. SHSH blobs can only be saved while the firmware is still signed. |
| Network/proxy blocking | 3uTools cannot reach Apple’s TSS server (gs.apple.com) due to firewall, VPN, or proxy settings. |
| 3uTools server-side issue | 3uTools relies on its own relay/proxy to fetch blobs; if their backend is down or rate-limited, this error appears. |
| Device ECID mismatch | Rare but possible – ECID not read correctly from device. |
| Outdated 3uTools version | Older versions may use deprecated APIs or server endpoints. |
