  Hi Nades
  You might be out of luck. The signed file is from Apple. However you might be able to Google a signed file, but I don’t know of any.
  Good luck.

I can’t get TinyUmbrella to working. I tried to disactivate anti-virus, firewall and windows defender. I tried to run it in compatibility mode but still no difference. Everything TinyUmbrella does is a text file called “umbrella” and gives me those 2 messages “Verifying libraries…” and “retucilating splines…”.

Please Help 🙂

  Hi Dennis
  Not that I know of, you need the Apple signature file or blob file fore your phone to accept the downgrade. I am not saying it cant be done.I just dont know or I have not come across any other way it can be done.
  If you do find a way let me know. 🙂
  Cheers

  It will only be there if you jailbreak the phone or you saved the file before you upgraded the device.

I have iphone 3gs. It is 6.1.6 and has baseband 6.15.00. Based on my google search. 6.15.00 baseband doesn’t read Sim Card. How can I downgrade it?
I have tried downgrading it using redsn0w but it wont downgrade.

PS.
Do i need to make it 6.1.3 before making it into 5.13.04

  HI Brian
  I am not sure about the baseband. However the you will need the shsh blobs file to downgrade.

  HI suraj
  You will need the shsh blobs to continue. Otherwise all you can do is put on a fresh version of the latest firmware for your model.
  Take a look at this page for your firmware.

  HI saja,
  There is no going back once you have upgraded. Unless you downloads the shsh blobs file before you upgraded the firmware.

Hi. i DONT have a jailbroke on my iphone and i’d like to upgrade to version 7.1.2 from 7.0.6.i get the 3194 error.the host from C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc
is the classic one:

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

  HI cosmin
  You need the shsh blobs file for your model of phone.
  Otherwise you would have it use the latest ios of you device.
  Have a look at this page

Hi, i have an issue with the download for tiny umbrella on your site. I also tried to download it from their official site and i still don’t have any luck because when i try and install it,it says something about java needing to be installed. So i then installed Java and Tiny Umbrella still doesn’t work. Please can you help me with installing tiny umbrella.

Kind Regards
