I think it's more so the inconvenience than the difficulty in asking a friend to borrow their windows PC/laptop/etc
I have SHSH blobs from cydia for my device and when I verify them, it tells me that all blobs are valid and APTickets too from redsn0w. But when I start sn0wbreeze and try to create custom ipsw with blobs ,it tells me that I haven't valid apticket file . What should i do ?

redsn0w can't properly check if the blobs are valid of not, only iFaith can do that (as of right now)

ih8sn0w is actually working on that
iTunes 11.1 closed the Windows custom IPSW loophole which iFaith/sn0wbreeze uses.
A re-write of iFaith/sn0wbreeze is in the works and mac support is likely.

I get this error everytime I try to validate a blob I ifaith: start index cannot be larger than length of string. Any ideas?

Which version are you using?
Which windows version?
Which program did you use to save the blobs?
Did you try running it as administrator?

if you're trying to make a custom iOS 7 firmware package, it's not going to work

I think they're trying to do something with iOS 7. If you try to submit iOS 7 blobs to cydia using redsn0w, it gives a similar error

A lot of computer games are coded for windows so...
Not to mention windows is used by a huge number of people
So i just got an iphone 4 with 6.1 installed.For some reason Tiny umbrella is not saving my blob.Anyone know what i am doing wrong? Also if i just jailbreak without using tiny umbrella is that enough to downgrade the iphone 4 from 7.0.2 to 6.1?

You are only able to save the versions apple is signing, regardless of what version you are on
HOWEVER, since you have the iPhone 4, you can download iFaith (windows only) and dump your 6.1 blobs. Keep it! Don't lose it! This will allow you to downgrade to 6.1 should you end up not liking iOS 7

And this thread is about jailbreaking..... So what does you comment have to do with the price of tea in China anyway?
People really need to learn how to argue.
I don't play video games. I could care less that a lot of them are coded for any particular OS.

It's true, i dont know how to argue, but that's just how I am, I didn't mean for an argument to occur. You stated an opinion and I was just saying how a huge portion of people out there still use windows today
I don't want to make a big deal out of this but you were the one who implied everyone that used windows is stupid
Or at least, that's how I saw it. I apologize if that wasn't the case
I need your help please....
Hi to all in the house, i have gone through this thread and discovered that there are many experienced gurus here. I have an iphone 4, it is locked to orange uk but i was still using it for so many other things apart from calling until recently when i updated to ios 7.0.2. It was a great mistake on my part to restore and update. Now my iphone 4 has been stucked at the activation, with ios 7. I have done a lot of things to bypass this activation but i was getting different kind of errors from itunes - errors 11, 3194, 4000, 4014 etc. I will be very happy to get whatever help that would enable me to downgrade to ios 6 or bypass ios 7 activation. Thanks so much.

Is the phone unlocked? And to add to trijethero, you can use iFaith to check. Download them to see if they're useable blobs or not. Cydia might have 6.1.3 blobs if you jailbroke in iOS 6 (and you opened cydia during the time cydia was caching 6.1.3)
@TrijetHero, it has 6.1.3 shsh blobs, i confirmed that by using iFaith and redsn0w. But the problem is that i get error 11 most of the time i try to downgrade.
@Darricksailo, my iphone 4 is still locked, it is not unlocked. That is the exact problem i am having. I dont have any problems using ios 7 but I think there is no way i can bypass ios 7 activation without downgrading back to ios 6.
I am so confused now, any clue that would be of assistance is welcomed.
Thank you.

Get a used Orange SIM or borrow one. It should activate with that on iOS 7.
For downgrading to iOS 6.1.3 you need sn0wbreeze and uou need to downgrade itunes as well to bypass the error 11

Success.....
@TrijetHero, thanks so much. I just downgraded to ios 6.1.3 now. I used iFaith to create a custom IPSW, and I also install itunes 10.7. It went smooth and successful. I am very happy. I will also be very happy if you can give me a clue on how to unlock it myself.
