The same blob-saving advise goes out to iOS 8.2 users. To elaborate, even if you do save your SHSH files on iOS 8.1.2, downgrading is not yet possible, and as such, you’ll want to stick with iOS 8.1.2 even after you have stored the blobs for safekeeping. But the good news is that you can download the new version and save your blobs right away, meaning that when it does become possible to downgrade, which should be soon, you’ll have the necessary files backed up and will be able to pick and choose what firmware you wish to revert to. Right now, it would seem that Semaphore is still working on getting TinyUmbrella to work its magic this being, to offer seamless downgrading using cooked-up IPSWs. At least, that’s how it used to work before Apple patched the loophole from its end. TinyUmbrella creates a false Apple server that gives your device the green light to install any build that you have saved SHSH blobs for. In layman’s terms, they contain device-specific information which can be used to sign IPSWs of old firmware versions, allowing you to downgrade even after Apple has stopped signing them. SHSH blobs don’t sound too special, but if you ever wanted to downgrade your device, they could prove to be a godsend. A beta version of the new TU has now been released supporting the recent iOS 8.1.3 along with the current iOS 8.2. Having been left to fester for a couple of years, it was suspected that iPhone and iPad downgrading was a forgotten art, but thanks to Semaphore’s revelation that he would be rebuilding TinyUmbrella from the ground up, we now know better. Recently, we learned that software developer Semaphore, the guy behind TinyUmbrella, was in the process of updating the famed SHSH blob-saving tool, which, once upon a time, would facilitate the downgrading of iOS devices to previous firmware versions.
