Understanding the Hardware: What is iPhone7 2N61AP?
Before solving the problem, we must understand the hardware. Apple does not use a single unified board for any iPhone model. The iPhone 7 (A1660, A1778, A1779, A1780) comes in several logic board configurations, identified by internal Apple part numbers.
- 2N61AP refers specifically to the iPhone 7 motherboard manufactured for certain global markets (often China, Hong Kong, and other Asian regions) with specific baseband chips (Intel vs. Qualcomm).
- This variant has different NAND flash controllers, different power management units (PMUs), and crucially—a different bootloader signature than the standard US/European models.
When UnlockTool looks for a loader, it scans its internal database for files matching the device’s BoardID and ChipID. If your iPhone 7 is a 2N61AP and UnlockTool’s database (often preloaded with common variants like D10AP or D101AP) lacks the specific 2N61AP loader, you get the dreaded: “Loader not found”.

2. Extracting from Official IPSW (Advanced Method)
For the purist, the highest quality loader comes directly from Apple’s IPSW firmware. Understanding the Hardware: What is iPhone7 2N61AP
- Download the official IPSW for iPhone 7 (iPhone9,1 or iPhone9,3 depending on GSM/Global).
- Use a tool like img4tool or pwndfu_ extractor to pull the iBSS.iphone7.board.RELEASE.img4 and iBEC.iphone7.board.RELEASE.img4 files.
- Rename and repack them into UnlockTool’s loader folder (usually
C:\UnlockTool\loaders\iPhone7\). - This guarantees 100% compatibility with 2N61AP hardware.
Likely causes
- Missing or outdated loader files in the tool’s loader folder.
- Tool version incompatible with the device’s board ID (2N61AP).
- Incorrect mapping between board ID and loader filename.
- Corrupted tool installation or antivirus quarantining loader files.
- Device in unexpected state (not proper DFU/boot mode).
- Uncommon board revision requiring a custom or updated loader.
