iPad 2 SHSH Blobs doubts

[juanpablohasbun]

I want to know if my tiny umbrella's SHSH blobs of 4.3.3 works? and how can I save Blobs from 5.0.1?

Upgrade TU to the newest. It should then be able to save 5.0.1 blobs since Apple is still signing that firmware.

I tried with my iPhone 4 (5.0.1) and didn't save any SHSH blob, what can i do?

From what I understand SHSH blobs no longer work for 5.0+.

However you should still be able to use the 4.x.x SHSHs to downgrade back to those firmwares no problem.

So why some people say its possible to save shsh blobs of 5.0.1? especially of iPad 2

 

[apunkrockmonk]

I believe it's possible to save them but as far as I know you can't actually use them for anything.

That's all I know off the top of my head. If you're looking for more info I'd google it.

This is why:

Upcoming redsn0w release makes both TinyUmbrella and Cydia blob saves useful for 5.0+ (1st verifies, then stitches)"


"For time being, please just use most recent TU to save 5.0.1 blobs+APTicket...redsn0w will do the rest, should you need to restore."

"yep, both OS X and Windows"

I found that in a thread on the iPhone Hacks Forum.
