Apple servers started signing 6.0.x DOWNGRADE NOW !
Just checking on twitter I saw a couple of tweets saying that
Apple is signing 6.0/6.0.1/6.0.2 right now. RESTORE RIGHT NOW IF YOU LOST YOUR JAILBREAK DUE TO 6.1.3, THIS WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY WILL DIE.
so for those people that lost jailbreak , use this chance now before its to late !
and for those A4 people go fetch your shsh blobs

mac
)

Yes a few guys from 9to5Mac actually did it and it worked! Keep in mind that iOS 6.1 back ups DONT work in iOS 6.0.1

Not sure if any MR admin has caught news of this but from what Im hearing on Twitter from reporters and bloggers. It works. But for how long THAT is the question.
i just dont see any valid reason they would even do this. also, how would someone even stumble upon this? there really isnt any reason why they would re-sign such an old OS, without announcement or reasoning. unless it has something to do with the restructuring of the dev portal or activation servers.
Wasn't the developers portal hacked recently? Something with Dev accounts was... Curious if this could be anything related?
It was an accident from Apple.

Probably. No one really knows why but we all agree that it was a mistake from Apple
wow
tinyumbrella is showing apple as signing 6.0.x
Yes but if you want to downgrade you must do it quickly before its too late

Yes indeed! tho I only have an a4 device
hmmm...either I missed it or they arent signing for CDMA. TinyUmbrella shows no go as well as getting the "Device isnt eligible for requested build"

Its hilarious seeing people going "WHAT NO THE IPSW IS NOT DONE DOWNLOADING! APPLE NOOOOOO I SHOULD HAVE DONE IT EARLIER"

Are you sure its over? it JUST finished downloading
Some iDevices may be able to get it...but yeah its over.
What do u mean some devices? Just curious if its worth me trying on my I5 still and take the time to restore.
The servers take some time to sync from what I heard on Twitter...but that was 20 mins ago so I think its finally over.
They had plenty of time in my opinion. Most of them were away from a computer or just put it off til later.
Thanks for the laugh lol
I literally just found out about it, downloaded the firmware, and then it stopped working. Oh well!
