OLD VERSION OF TINYUMBRELLA HOW TO

I want to explain this in detail in this blog.įirst of all, here a tutorial for the n00b users on how to downgrade. Or another person tells "I downgrade every day more than 10 iPhones 3GS without shsh backup." Or somebody tells "This works only for 3GS, but not for iPhone 4." Other are asking "It didn't work for you? Where do you live? Maybe it only works in U.S." There are hundrets of reports of people successfully downgrading their iPhones from 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 without knowing of what shsh backups are. Or another one tells "I downgraded my new out-of-the-box 3GS phone you don't need shsh backups". You don't need shsh backup, I don't even know what it is". I can read about so many people having the very same issue so it can't be just a minor bug, I am really disappointed as per my point of view apple is restricting on normal customers as well in order to get out all the jailbreakers.I see many users in the forums telling "I have successfully downgraded from 4.0.2 to 4.0.1. The advice in your article about how to downgrade to 3.1.3 no longer works because a few days ago Apple stopped signing that firmware."Īlso I never registered any SHSH connection as so far everything worked in normal ways with my iphone. Usually within 24 hours of a new firmware release, Apple stops signing the old versions preventing you from restoring back to an older version. Update: If you're on 3GS and having trouble with this method, reader Richard notes that for 3GS users: "Apple started signing their restore files requiring iTunes to "Phone home" and get permission to restore. Apparently there is also a risk with downgrading that won't work according to the link you posted: It won't just go down my throat that I have to modify anything on a totally legal iphone in order to get it working again.
