A friend of mine gave me his old iPhone 4. It's currently running iOS 5. How can I upgrade to 6.1.2 without being forced to upgrade to iOS 7?

I also have a second iPhone 4 on Verizon (original one is on AT&T) that is on 6.1. Is there any way I can use that one to generate an SHSH blob under 6.1, then modify it to be used to upgrade the AT&T iPhone to 6.1?

You can't. The blobs are device specific.

Research a tethered jailbreak. You may be able to do what you are looking to do. There are a number of negatives though.

you can make a blob for that iphone for 6.1

but since each shsh blob is specific to each device, you can't use it for another device
