Save Your iOS 6.0.1 SHSH Bolbs With TinyUmbrella 6.01.00
Are you a novice when it comes to the jailbreaking process and its methods and you want somebody to help you get through this? Do you want to downgrade your iPhone at some point but you are not quite sure how to do this? Are you really confused about all the solutions you have read work for this, and have been perhaps confused on hearing that you need to save your iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs and then applying them somehow by using Redsnow?
If you identify with all of the above, then we will take it step by step for you and put all the factors into an organized system of explanation, so just stick around.
What you need to know first is that if you need to downgrade to an earlier iOS, the jailbreaking process can help you do that if you wish. What you also need to do however when it comes to the jailbreaking process is to indeed save the SHSH blobs. We are now going to talk about the iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs in particular and highlight the cool tool that makes it all possible – and that is the TinyUmbrella. What we will do is use TinyUmbrella 6.0.1.00 to save iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs (this is applicable to iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices). It is necessary to mention that SHSH blobs (and the APTickets) are the prerequisites if one wants to downgrade to older firmware versions of iOS 5.
Let’s try to see what TinyUmbrella is. First of all, it is a tool that allows users to backup their SHSH to Saurik’s server and also on their computer. Moreover, SHSH is a special signature that helps Apple to check out the firmware that you are installing on your iPhone and verify its authenticity. Once a new firmware gets released, then Apple stops signing the old firmware. What using TinyUmbrella does for users is that you can thus go back to the old firmware if you choose to do so, which automatically makes it the perfect scenario for those of you who have unlocked or jailbroken their iPhones.
As we have cleared up the confusion around this (we hope), what you need to be able to do as a next step is to learn how to create firmware with stitched iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs. This will help you and give you the option to be able to downgrade to iOS 6.0.1 if you aren’t completely satisfied with it in case of an intentional (or even accidental) update to a later iOS (why not, iOS 6.1). You will therefore need to take a few steps to save iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs, and you will use RedSnow to do so, then stitch it.
Next you’ll need to know how to create firmware with stitched iOS 6.0.1 SHSH blobs, because in the case of an accidental (or not) update to a later iOS (maybe iOS 6.1) you’ll have the option to downgrade to iOS 6.0.1 if you aren’t satisfied with it.
Let’s just give it a go!
The first step you need to take is to make sure you are updated with the very important tools we shall utilize: make sure to have TinyUmbrella 6.0.1.00 for the operating system you use, and also Redsn0w 0.9.15b3, Apple’s latest (iOS 6.0.1) official firmware.
Once you confirm all of these are done (and updated), then you can proceed. Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPad mini or iPod Touch to your PC and TinyUmbrella and then simply select Advanced. The “Save SHSH Directory” line will be then immediately displayed, and you can there give specification on the exact path you want to save SHSH blogs to using the “…” button. Make sure that prior to clicking Save, you uncheck “Request SHSH from Cydia”, and you can proceed with the next step.
Getting at this point, you then have to click Save SHSH. But there is a special point we need to highlight here. You can only do this before the official iOS 6.1 goes live, so only while Apple still signs iOS 6.0.1. Pay attention!
This is what you need to know about TinyUmbrella. Once it starts and does its job, then we need to refocus on the other tool we need to use, and that is, we repeat, RedSnow. Do therefore launch the application and simply navigate to Extras > SHSH blobs > Stitch. If you are asking why this is necessary, then let us explain that this action shall enable you to file the iOS 6.0.1 certificate (blobs) for the firmware.
The next step you will take is to select IPSW, then choose the official iOS 6.0.1 firmware, click SHSH as well, and only then will you be able to select the digital certificate you created on the earlier step using TinyUmbrella.
We have now reached the final step and also the most pleasant one (not that the rest have been too complicated to take, right?). Make sure that now, as a final step, you find a good (and safe) place where you can store your custom firmware file. That is all there is to know. From this very moment on, by taking all the steps we have went through above, you can always downgrade to earlier iOS firmware. You will be able to do so even if Apple stops signing 6.0.1 SHSH blobs, so make the best of it and enjoy it! We hope we have made all become a little less blurry for you and have helped you build up courage to use our information and piece of advice.
