hey guys this is Austin and today music tutorial showing you how you can downgrade the firmer on your iPhone 4s or your iPad 2 so whether you accidentally update it you got a new device that came with new firmware or for whatever reason you had to restore this is a simple tutorial to get you back from 5.1 or 5.1.1 down to iOS 5.0 point 1 where of course you can get the untethered jailbreak it's very easy to generate your firmware however you do need one very important thing your iOS 5.0 point 1 sh-sh blobs now you may already have this if you were jailbroken previously on 5.0 point 1 Cydia ought to have saved it for you or if you previously plugged your iPhone 4s right back to into something like tiny umbrella and saved it that way as long as you have your 5.0 point 1 sh-sh blobs it's gonna be very simple you might need a couple of firmwares to downgrade so first of all you're going to need the 5.0 point 1 IPSW for your device and it also won't need 5.1.1 so you may already have these on your computer in that case I'll have a link in the description if you have it you can just simply move it out to your desktop and gonna be good to go however if you need to download anything that also will be a link where you can download whichever firmware you need I'll be on that all we're going to need to do is go ahead and download the latest build of red snow also of course I will have a link to that as well in the description at this point we're going to put our device into DFU mode now before you do this make 110% sure that you have your data backed up as we will be restoring and going back so if you have an iCloud backup make sure that it is fully up to date if you backup your data through iTunes be sure that you have recently done it or just go ahead and do it right now uh beyond that of course go ahead and plug your device in via USB to your Mac or PC and let's go ahead and begin so to put your device into DFU mode all you need to do is go ahead and hold the power button for just a couple seconds until you get any slide to car off so there we go go ahead slide to power it off once your device is off go ahead and hold the power button for three seconds so one two three and hold the power and home for 10 seconds so eight seven six five four three two one release the power button and continue holding the home button for about 15 seconds or so once you successfully enter DFU mode you should see on redstone should say iPhone 4s or iPad 2 and should say DFU mode yeah any problems feel free to go ahead and just hold the home and power button for a second it turn back on you can do the exact same thing again now come over to extras even more and then restore now we need to select our IP SW so hit on the button here and select your iOS 5.0.1 IPSW now it'll ask you for another one and at this point grab our your 5.1.1 IPSW and hopefully the inter-pass confusing as it is for you as it is for me that made no sense we're gonna continue on so now it's gonna give us a little information about our baseband if you have an unlock and you don't want to update your baseband definitely go ahead and not do this tutorial but if you're not interested in unlocking your iPhone for us feel free to continue now you're going to have two options for selecting your sh-sh blobs so the first is local so if you use something like tiny umbrella and you have them on your computer go ahead and hit local and select the blobs themselves otherwise if you have it backed up through Cydia which I bet is probably the case for 99% of people click on remote don't give it a few minutes to fetch the plugs from the server after a moment your device should come back to life you will see something like this and if you come over to read snow you're going to see all kinds different things running across the screen but you really don't have to worry about it just give it a little bit of time and it will restore 25.1 and then it will go back to 5.0 point 1 so this may take a little while but just be patient now we'll be back as soon as it's all done so at this point your device should be fully restored so all I need to do is go ahead and set the language all the kind of normal stuff that you do and of course be sure to restore it from your backups of course whether it's iCloud or via iTunes just be sure to get all your data back on to your iPhone now that you're on iOS 5.2.1 you can now jailbreak using absinthe so if you needed tutorial feel free to hit up but the link on screen right now and I'll also have it in the description and you can get yourself fully jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 if you enjoyed this video definitely be sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
