iPhone how to downgrade from 6.1.3 to 6.1.2?

The chances are slim for you to downgrade to 6.1.2 if you didn't manually save your shsh blobs. However, you have a chance to downgrade to 5.1.1 for untethered jailbreak
Download the latest version of iFaith (v1.5.6) and run it. Plug in your iPhone 4 and click "show available shsh caches on server". If it finds you have 6.1.2 blobs, save them.
See if it marks it as valid or not. If yes, you can stitch the shsh blobs to a 6.1.2 ipsw. Do you rely on a software unlock? (I'm not sure if this will update the baseband)
If its not valid, do the same and save your 5.1.1 blobs. And stitch that with the 5.1.1 ipsw. Again, I'm not sure if this will update the baseband
IFaith is currently the only program to PROPERLY check if iOS 6 blobs are valid or not.
Use tinyumbrella and get your 5.1.1 shsh blobs if cydia has them. Download redsn0w and you can stitch the shsh blobs to a 5.1.1 ipsw
Did you manually save your iOS 6 shsh blobs? If not, then that's the only one you can downgrade to assuming cydia has them
If you don't know, then you can only restore to 5.1.1 if cydia has them. Did you download tinyumbrella to see what shsh blobs cydia has for you?
i sent you a private message. it would've probably been more helpful if you showed all the shsh blobs you had and not only show ios 6 blobs in the screenshot
My iPhone 5 got stuck on the boot logo last night, I can't get anything to work to fix it, so it looks like my only option is to restore and lose the jailbreak until iOS7??? That's ridiculous.. Ugh...
did you try booting up holding volume up and see if that helps?
And if your only option left is to restore, then yes, you can only restore to 6.1.3 and wait for the iOS 7 jailbreak which is pretty far away
Yea I tried the volume up method probably 20 times now with no luck...
Can't imagine going back to stock until next winter with iOS7!!
Makes me seriously think about getting an HTC one..
get an Android, or buy a used iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.2 or lower.
Those are your only 2 options :/
Weird, make sure you're doing it right. I've done it on a few phones with a bunch of bad tweaks and every time it forced it into safe mode and booted properly each time.
I've tried dozens of times now, everytime I reboot it it looks like its starting up normally but then the Apple logo goes dim, and it stays that way, left it like that overnight until the battery went dead. After charging it this morning and it restarted, it went right back into the dim Apple logo mode.. Not sure what else to do.
what was the thing you did that caused this boot loop? did you install a tweak and needed to respring?
Yea, what a hassle, we should be able to downgrade..
Yup, that's why i'm glad I have an iPhone 4 which can downgrade
So, I will be working from a different country for few months. I am told that the moment I put in a local SIM card, my iMessage and FaceTime will stop working since a local SIM card will configure me for local servers and I have my phone configured here in the US.
My friends tell me you have to reset everything (all data and settings).
I heard and read that with evasion I cannot do that. No resetting as it will just get stuck up. I only have to restore.
If this is true I don't think I can do a restore of 6.1.2 from iTunes. So if all of this is true, I will lose my JB.
Is any of the above incorrect ? I so hope that I am incorrect.

Nope, I was just rebooting it after installing a new icon, nothing that should cause problems..
It's eye opening going back to a stock iPhone, iOS is really really dated and stale, feels like I'm using a dumb phone. It's driving me nuts already...
iPad 2
Can an iPad 2 be downgraded from 6.1.3 to 6.1 (I have the SHSH blobs). Sorry to ask if the question, but everyone keeps saying the iPhone 4S and higher can not be downgraded, but the iPad 2 came out before the 4S so I'm a bit confused)
And before you ask why did i upgrade? I dropped the iPad and had to take it in to the Apple store for repairs and was forced to upgrade in order to have the store look at it
