What is ECID?
ECID stands for Exclusive Chip ID or Electronic Chip ID. Since it’s an ID, it is unique to each device. An ECID is assigned to every iOS device that Apple manufactures. You may be asked for your ECID when saving SHSH blobs.
An ECID ensures that each SHSH blob (which is required to restore a firmware) remains exclusive to a specific device only. This is why you cannot use SHSH Blobs from one device to restore or downgrade another device.
When you restore your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, the iTunes contact Apple servers and generate signatures for your device. If you want to secure your future jailbreak, it’s important to save these signatures before a new firmware comes out. Because once the new firmware is out, Apple stops signing older firmware and without a signature for the older firmware, you cannot restore your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch to that older firmware. Apple won’t let you downgrade your iPhone or iPad firmware. But if you have signatures (SHSH blob) saved for an older firmware for your device, Apple won’t be able to stop you from downgrading firmware even if they stop signing older firmware.
All popular tools that you use to save SHSH blobs require you to enter a valid ECID number. Which makes an ECID a prerequisite for saving SHSH blobs for your device.
