I've been researching and trying to downgrade from ios6 to iOS 5.1.1
I've gone through the steps of downloading the proper file and clicking restore with the option key held and selecting the file. I always get a message "your device is not eligible". I've also tried editing my hosts file, but get the same message.
I've also read that I need my SHSH blobs. Is this correct? I sync my iPhone every day but I don't think I've saved these "blobs". Since the blob files are unique to each iPhone, would I be able to do the downgrade? Are the "blobs" saved anywhere automatically when I sync my iPhone?
So, basically I really want to downgrade because I want maps back and my iPhone 4 seems slower on ios6. I called Apple and they said it's "impossible". I would never have done this if I thought I couldn't go back. Can I downgrade without getting too "messy"?
Thanks in advance...
