If you got SHSH Blobs of any previous firmware, So no one can stop you from going back to the previous iOS and enjoy the Untethered Jailbreak. We all know that Apple released iOS 5 and with the release of iOS 5, Apple has closed all the doors for SHSH Blobs saving. But props to the hackers of iOS who never gave up and by the end of the day, they came with a solution. The solution was at first Tentative and later on it was made prominent and useful. If you don’t know about what we are talking is, So we are talking about the two great tools by two different hackers. One is Tiny Umbrella (by NotCom) and the other one is iFaith (By ih8sn0w).

These two tools save SHSH Blobs for iOS Devices. The only difference is that, iFaith saves the current SHSH blobs, where as Tiny Umbrella saves current and future SHSH Blobs. Now those of who you got SHSH Blobs saved for iOS 4.3.3 can easily downgrade from iOS 5.x and retain the previous Untethered Jailbreak. Many of you might have updated to iOS 5 in order to enjoy the new look of UI, Notification and iCloud. Those who got bored and are trying to find a way on getting back to iOS 4.3.3 to get the Untethered Jailbreak can now follow the guide below and retain the previous Jailbreak.

To follow the guide below you must got your SHSH Blobs for iOS 4.3.3 saved. If you haven’t got the SHSH blobs saved for iOS 4.3.3, So there is no way by which you can downgrade.

Steps to Follow:

Step 1: Put your device into DFU mode.

Step 2: Verify that your Hosts file is devoid of any Apple references (see video)

Step 3: Open RedSn0w > Go to Extras > Click PwnedDFU. Your screen should remain black on your iDevice.

Step 4: Open TinyUmbrella, click Start TSS Server

Step 5: Open iTunes hold Option+Restore (Shift+Restore in Windows) and select the iOS 4.3.3 Firmware.

Step 6: If you receive Recovery Error (1), close out of iTunes.

Step 7: In TinyUmbrella click Advanced and uncheck “Set Hosts to Cydia on Exit…” Close TinyUmbrella.

Step 8: Open RedSn0w > Go to Extras > Click Recovery fix. Your screen should look as if the device is being jailbroken. It should then go back to a solid black screen.

Step 9: Open RedSn0w > Go to Extras > Click Just boot. Your device will now boot and you should see the Pwnapple logo. Your device should now be successfully back on iOS 4.3.3

Step 10: Open iTunes to activate your device.

This guide is for all the A4 and previous iDevices. Some steps from this guide might not work on iPad 2. Special thanks to Jeff Benjamin of IDB for taking out time and making a video.

After Jailbreakme 3.0 was released for iPad 2 users, not soon but after a week or two Apple released an update to fix the iPad 2 Jailbreak with the software update of iOS 4.3.4. This update only fixed Comex exploit and no major changes were made. Soon after the release of iOS 4.3.4 Apple released iOS 4.3.5 which fixed the SSL vulnerability known as CVE-2011-0228. This security update was left by Apple and they fixed in their iOS 4.3.5.

Remember updating to iOS 4.3.4 and iOS 4.3.5 is not necessary and was never recommended. Now you must be thinking about the bug left by Apple will screw your iPhone if you don’t update?

Well if you are thinking that so leave that to the Jailbreaking community as usual. This issue has been solved by @0naj. Today he released a Cydia Tweak called isslfix in Cydia to fix the vulnerability which is mentioned above.

Today he Tweeted that:

Homebrew fix for iOS SSL vulnerability, available on Cydia : http://t.co/oQxxMnC

To know more about this CVE-2011-0228 you can visit here.

To install this App follow the guide below:

Step#1:

You must jailbreak your iDevice in order to follow the procedure.

Step#2:

Open Cydia and search for issl in Cydia. This must be under bigboss repo.

Once you find the Tweak install it and it when you are done, it will say you to reboot.

Step#3:

Now this step is to ensure you that you are now protected.

Open this Website from your iPhone/iPod/iPad/iPad 2.

https://issl.recurity.com/

Open this website with the same url including “HTTPS”.

If you see the page without getting Error like this, so you aren’t secure.

If you get a warning like this:

Now you are safe from the vulnerability.More information about this Tweak is available on jan0 github.

Remember this tweak is only for the firmware which are below than iOS 4.3.5 because this issue has been fixed in iOS 4.3.5 and the upcoming iOS 5.

So finally  Apple has cut the rob of iOS 4.3.3 signature support, several times we have recommend users to save the iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs, if they want to downgrade or restore their iOS devices because Apple has released the new version of iOS 4.3.4 which comes up as a killer of jailbreak tools. The SHSH blobs of iOS 4.3.3 is really important for iPad 2 owners because there is only a firmware version where they can jailbreak their device and Apple is in complete try to update their iOS devices to the newest iOS firmware where they have fixed the Safari Exploit which uses by JailbreakMe 3.0 to jailbreak the iPad 2 and all other iOS devices running iOS 4.3.3. This thing is really bad for those who had not save their SHSH blobs, and already updated their iOS firmware version to iOS 4.3.4 or any beta version of iOS 5, because on every downgrade to normal/stable version they need iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs.

The key member of iPhone Dev Team has announced late night through the tweet that Apple has shut down the window of iOS 4.3.3 signature registering, and now after this no one can save the iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs and downgrade their device to iOS 4.3.3 without SHSH blobs of iOS 4.3.3, we hope that large number of users have saved their iOS 4.3.3 SHSH blobs and didn’t stuck with Apple.

  Downgrading iPhone, iPod, iPad and iPad 2 that is    running the firmware 4.3.4 is very easy if you’ve  saved your SHSH blobs for the earlier versions of  iOS. Jailbreak Me 3.0 tool can be used to jailbreak  idevices running on this firmware.

Download the iOS file for the firmware you want to  downgrade to.

It can be found in your AppData>Roaming>Apple computer>iTunes>iPod software updates if you’ve downloaded the firmware previously for updating through iTunes. Otherwise the links are as follows:

• iOS 4.3.3
• iOS 4.3.2
• iOS 4.3.1
• iOS 4.3

Once you’ve downloaded the required IPSW file, its time you put your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch into DFU mode. The steps are as follows:

• Connect your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch to your PC or Mac.
• Turn your device off.
• Now launch iTunes.
• Hold down the Power button and the Home button simultaneously for 10 seconds.
• After 10 seconds, release the Power button but don’t let go of the Home button, your computer should detect a new USB device.
• At this point, iTunes will also recognize your device, whether its an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

At this point, your device’s screen should be off, if that’s so, then you’ve successfully put your device in DFU mode. If iTunes logo shows up, you’re in Recovery Mode, NOT DFU mode.

Step 3: Here comes the tricky and the most important part, you’re going to fool iTunes into thinking that its in contact with Apple’s servers, whereas we’re going to change that to Saurik’s server. In order to do this, follow the steps given below:

Windows users:

Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\ and locate the file named as “hosts”.

Mac users:

Mac users can access the “hosts” file by navigating to “/etc/” folder, which can be found through Go > Go to Folder from within Finder.

If you’re on Windows, then open the “hosts” file in Notepad. If on a Mac, then open the “hosts” file in TextEdit, and add the following line at the end:

74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com

Just save the file and close Notepad or TextEdit, and you’re all set for the downgrade.

A quick note for Windows 7 and Vista users: Start Notepad with “Administrator privileges”, that can be done by right-clicking the Notepad app, and there you will see the “Administrator privileges” option, simply click and launch.

A quick note for Mac OS X users: While saving the host file on your Mac, you should have complete read and write privileges in order to make changes. Getting a permission error? A simple workaround is to copy the host file to your Mac’s desktop, from there make the changes in TextEdit, save the file, and copy it back to the original location, and replace the original host file with the one which you just created.

Step 4: Launch iTunes, choose your device from the left sidebar. Hold down the left “Shift” key if you’re on Windows or hold down the left “alt” key if you’re on a Mac and click on “Restore”, do not click anything else! A new window will pop up asking you for the location of the IPSW file.

Navigate to the desired firmware to which you want to downgrade to, in this case it can be either iOS 4.3.3, 4.3.2, 4.3.1, 4.3 or 4.2.1. Once you find the required IPSW file, click “Open” and let iTunes do its thing.

In a matter of few minutes, iTunes will install the version of iOS which you directed it to install. At this point you should see a progress bar on your device, everything is automated, therefore don’t do anything silly. Your device will reboot automatically when everything is done.

In some cases, iTunes will throw 1013 error, ignore it, its perfectly normal when downgrading. At this point, your device will be in Recovery Mode with your desired version of iOS fullyinstalled.

Its quite simple to get out of Recovery Mode, simply down this nifty program called TinyUmbrella (Windows, Mac) along with Fix Recovery (Windows, Mac).

Once you’re done downloading TinyUmbrella, launch it, and then click on the “Exit Recovery” button. In a matter of seconds, your device will boot up normally.

Once you’re done with this, the last thing you’re going to do is remove the line you added to the “host” file in step 3, which is 74.208.105.171 gs.apple.com in order to receive updates from Apple’s servers normally.

If you’re running iOS 4.3.3, then simply follow our guide on how to jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 using JailbreakMe, fully untethered!

Few days back we got the most awaited Jailbreak for iPad 2 by Comex. If you haven’t forgot, so recall past and you will know that one team and one person was also working on this Jailbreak for many months, but none of them are still able to come up with the jailbreak for iPad 2. Although they challenged each other for the Jailbreak for iPad 2.

Don’t know about whom i am talking ? Well I am talking about The Chronic Dev-Team and GeoHotz. The Chronic Dev-Team member P0xisninja challenged GeoHot to compete with him for the iPad 2 Jailbreak and see who comes up first. but both of them failed for the time being and Comex showed up with the Jailbreakme 3.0. Comex really worked hard on the Jailbreakme 3.0, he was working for past one year and few days back of the release his Jailbreakme 3.0 was leaked in Wild by some Jerks Twice. So this lead Comex to release the Jailbreak Immediately and some issues were left to work on.

Today Comex Tweeted that he knows about the issue and he will be Fixing it Tomorrow.

Update tomorrow will fix an issue with installing some packages and the issue with the Camera Connection Kit.

He also said that the update will come by Cydia.

The update will be available in Cydia if you are already jailbroken.

If you are Jailbroken with Jailbreakme 3.0 so you will be able to Fix the issue by Tomorrow with an update via Cydia. If you are Jailbroken by Jailbreakme 3.0 so don’t forget to install the PDF Patch 2 from Cydia to avoid Attacks.
