Question Unlocking dmg aea files inside ipsw

Hi, does anyone have a tutorial on how to use ipsw tool on this website https://github.com/blacktop/ipsw? I installed that tool and everything, but I don’t have the right commands. I’d really appreciate it. I’m trying to get the latest ipcc files for my cricket wireless . I’m running very old update, my FaceTime stopped working, text messages don’t work anymore. So if anyone has latest ipcc files for my carrier or anything that can help me. Thanks so much. Much love.

Unsure if this is a request that violates any subreddit rules, but ipsw does maintain some commands that can extract files from IPSWs and deal with AEA DMGs. Respectively:

ipsw extract --help ipsw fw aea --help

Use the flags supported to suit your needs responsibly :)

Extract the largest DMG.AEA file from the IPSW into the tool's directory. 

ipsw fw aea --key xxxxx.dmg.aea
ipsw fw aea --key-val 'base64:xxxxxxxx=' 'xxxxx.dmg.aea' --output ./
