TinyUmbrella has reached the latest version 5, and is available for free download.

This version works on both operating systems, Microsoft Windows and Mac OX S.

TinyUmbrella is a tool that is able to allow users to downgrade their iOS version on iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch Apple TV 2G by “signing” an older version of a firmware (SHSH blobs) and also allowing to build a custom .ipsw using these blobs.

This backup SHSH Blobs process can be also done using iFaith (no iPad 2 support yet), as a recovery tool released by iH8Sn0w.

Saving SHSH Blobs might be a smart idea prior to jailbreak a new iOS and probably indispensable for some beta versions, or with some unsure methods like jailbreaking iPad 2 on iOS 4.3.3. So, we are here to present a a way to backup a firmware running on your iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch or Apple TV 2G.

How to save your SHSH Blobs using TinyUmbrella 5:

First of all, you’ll need to download TinyUmbrella 5 for Windows or Mac OS X, depending under what OS you’re running. Put the software to your desktop, and allow access as administrator.

Be sure you have closed iTunes before to connect your device to computer.

- Start TinyUmbrella 5 from your dektop

- Connect your device (iPhone 4, 3GS, iPad, iPad 2, iPod Touch or Apple TV 2G) to computer via USB. Wait for TinyUmbrella to recognize your device.
