  • Answer:

    There is no way to downgrade to any firmware without having your SHSH blobs for that particular firmware (you can save these through TinyUmbrella and Cydia saves them for you automatically). If you have not run TU or have been jailbroken previously, you will not be able to downgrade since you have no opportunity to get your SHSH blobs. There is a iOS 5.1 jailbreak out, but it is tethered. You can read more about this on the dev team's blog: http://blog.iphone-dev.org/tagged/redsn0w I hope this helps!
