Ok idk how I did it, but I downgraded from 6.0.2 back to 6.0.1. I had blobs but I didnt think it was compatible yet? I'm just sooo happy now that I could downgrade back to 6.0.1 now if only I could restore to 6.0....

Despite what everyone else said on this post. Thanks for heads up! Had a battery issue with 6.0.2 that I didn't have with iOS 6.0.1

6.0.2 is only for the 5 and mini. It makes sense that Apple is still signing .1 because well....there's more than just 5's and minis out there. Not sure why the OP is so surprised. ?

Well maybe I should have added an "if any" but I believe there will be one.

If there are no more Jailbreaks, then iOS, at least on the iPhone side, will be dead to me.

First download the iOS 6.0.1 ipsw then on Mac go to iTunes and on restore do option plus restore then choose the ipsw. On windows, do the same accept do shif plus restore. Hope this helps. I'm filming a video for YouTube today of this!

You cannot.
Apple has closed the signing window for firmware versions 6.0.1 and 6.0.2
Only option is 6.1
