Accidentally upgraded iPhone 4S or iPad 2 and "stuck with" the latest firmware which no jailbreak yet? The iPhone Dev Team has released the updated version of Redsn0w tool which allows you to downgrade iPhone 4S and iPad 2's iOS version so that you can jailbreak them again.
Note:
You need your SHSH blobs saved in order to downgrade. If your iPhone 4S or iPad 2 have launched Cydia before, Cydia server should have saved the SHSH blobs for you automatically.
This guide works for A5 devices only.
If you are a iPhone unlocker, do not downgrade iOS with this guide because it will update your baseband.
Tools you need:
SHSH blobs, either saved on Cydia or computer locally
iOS 5.0.1 and iOS 5.1.1 firmwares
Redsn0w ( Mac / Windows )
30-pin USB connector cable
Let's begin:
