Next version of RedSn0w will use SHSH blobs for firmware downgrading
Only a couple of days ago, iH8sn0w has released his upgraded iFaith tool. iFaith has enabled iPhone users to save SHSH blobs on their devices, and now the iPhone Dev Team is working on the next instalment of RedSnow which will be able to achieve the same thing.
One of the prominent members of the Dev Team, Musclenerd has announced on his Twitter stream about the RedSn0w upgrade, which will make use of SHSH blobs saved with Cydia or TinyUmbrella on devices runing iOS 5. As you probably know if you are a frequent visitor on this blog, SHSH blobs are of essential importance if you need to downgrade your device for any reason. Downgrading firmware is often useful when it comes to iPhone jailbreaking and unlocking.
At this moment Musclenerd advises jailbreakers to use the latest version of TinyUmbrella for saving iOS 5.0.1 blobs and APTicket. The rest will be done by RedSn0w tool when you decide to downgrade your device. At the time being, the only tool which enables users to downgrade from IOS 5.0.1 is iFaith, but DevTeam says this will change soon. RedSn0w will feature similar capability to what iFaith currently does, namely it will enable you to combine your firmware files with SHSH blobs and APTicket, which is necessary for a successful firmware downgrade.
Follow our blog and we will let you know as soon as the latest RedSn0w is released. Meanwhile you can enjoy in other stories with news, rumors and reviews from the world of jailbreaking and iOS devices.
