Upcoming Version of RedSn0w Will Enable Downgrade of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2/3

MuscleNerd has announced that an upcoming version of RedSn0w will support restoring and allow for downgrade of the iPhone 4S and iPad 2/3 for those with SHSH Blobs saved.

Upcoming redsn0w supports restoring, including iPad2/3 and 4S downgrades (with blobs) http://twitpic.com/9ixsqv ..also stitches on the fly 🙂

As we noted earlier, this downgrade technique differs from the one discovered by iH8Sn0w. It does not use any Apple copyrighted code.

This will allow those with their SHSH Blobs saved to downgrade to iOS 5.0.1 for an untethered jailbreak.

Unreleased Technique Can Downgrade A5 Devices on iOS 5.1.x to iOS 5.0.1

MuscleNerd has revealed that there is an unreleased technique which can downgrade A5 devices on iOS 5.1 and iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 5.0.1 for an untethered jailbreak.

5.1.1 shows Apple knows about an unreleased technique to downgrade A5 devices to 5.0.1 with saved blobs (but left it alone..hmm)

It’s unclear why Apple would leave this technique alone. Maybe it wasn’t worth fixing because it hadn’t been made available.

Notably, this technique is different from the one found by iH8Sn0w in that it does not use copyrighted Apple code.

Unfortunately, we don’t know when or if this technique will become public.
