How to open SHSH file?

This is manifested by the fact that SHSH files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SHSH file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install iTunes
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that iTunes is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing iTunes into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file SHSH.
Programs to open SHSH file
Remember to download programs supporting SHSH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of iTunes with SHSH files
If, despite the installed application, the SHSH file does not start in the iTunes application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SHSH file with the iTunes application.
Step 3. Update iTunes to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the iTunes program, it is possible that IPhone/iPod Touch SHSH Blob Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apple, Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SHSH file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to SHSH files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SHSH file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SHSH file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SHSH files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SHSH file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apple, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SHSH files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the SHSH file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file SHSH to close. However, some background programs may block the SHSH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
