[iPhone 5] iOS 8.4.1 hacktivate re-locks on shutdown — can I downgrade to iOS 6 instead?

​I have an iPhone 5 that has had the fate of being iCloud locked by me since 2020.

​Recently I wanted to see what my chances were with it, so I tried downgrading to iOS 8.4.1 untethered and hacktivated it. It all works well till the iPhone shuts down or reboots in any way, where it loses its state and gets stuck.

​I wanna downgrade to iOS 6 and see what I can get, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows a fix for this 8.4.1 shutdown issue first, or if Legacy iOS Kit has a solid untethered setup for iOS 6 on the iPhone 5. Any help will be much obliged!
