With this tutorial you will be able to make a downgrade your iPhone 4S to iOS 5.0.1, you can do it from iOS 5.1, 5.1.1 or even from 5.0.1 itself if you want to restore.

Installing iOS 5.0.1 you will get to jailbreak untethered.

WARNING: this tutorial updates the baseband to the baseband of iOS 5.1.1, if you need a release of some kind, don't use it.

To follow this guide you need:

redsn0w 0.9.11b1

Opens Redsn0w

Now you must select your SHSH from iOS 5.0.1, you can do it remotely or locally

Metering will take the SHSH from Cydia

Local will do it from your computer, using the SHSH saved with TinyUmbrella or downloaded with Redsn0w

    Good morning Gnzl, a question:

    my problem is that I had 5.0.1 with untethered jailbreak for a while, that means that my SHSH should be in cydia right? Well, there is no way I can find them by clicking on remote. Any suggestion?

    Thank you!

      the downgrade of iphone 4 and all devices with A4 is done with tinyumbrella and itunes. It's simple just look for a tutorial

    Hello I have an iPhone 4S in 5.0.1 with the ssh saved with tinyumbrella, only the ssh or also the apticket are necessary? a balance thank you

  7.   Juan said

    It should be said that I bought the iPhone 4s 3 days ago and I just jailbroken it so in cydia I only get the 5.1 ssh. I'm trying to save the ssh from 5.0.1 with tinyumbrella but I don't know if the apticket is necessary for the downgrade. Thanks

    Well I will answer each user:
    @Xavi: The problem is that you should have saved them with tinyumbrella.
    Download that program and give it to save the ssh, if it saves it to disk.
    Look for it in the folder named like this in your windows user .shsh
    @josehsm: Impossible if not you saved them in your money with tinyumbrella.
    @josechu: Good question I think you can't but try. Because I don't really know with the above 5 ios
    @Maxi: On iphone 4 use sn0wbreeze v 2.9.3. With the digital signature saved with tinnyumbrella at the time you create a custom with that signature and that's it, you restore it once again.
    @Juan: You will not be able to save the digital signature if you did not do it in the time that apple saved the signatures of 5.0.1.
    Greetings to all

    I add info:
    RedSn0w 0.9.11b4 came out to correct a strange error in the restoration that some users had. Now Redsn0w does not interfere with devices that allow synchronization via Wi-Fi, it also provides Jailbreak Tethered for iOS 5.1.1 (build 9B206) on A4 and earlier devices including and allowing to create custom firmware NO_BB IPSWs.

    I can not add links so search in google that they are for mac and windows

      Rafael, thank you very much for answering.

      So if I download tinyumbrella and save the shsh, will it save the 5.0.1 even though I now have 5.1.1? I have had as I have said 5.0.1 with jailbreak untethered and everything but of course at the time I did not save them with tiny and I had understood that by the simple fact of having jailbroken with 5.0.1 the shsh were saved in cydia. Of course, that's why I thought that I could restore through the new redsnow where it says remote (which looks for the shsh in cydia).

      I explain?

      Thanks Rafael

        @Xavi: Hello, this is what I opened cydia and look at the top of everything some small numbers in green that say that you have saved shsh. If it tells you that you have 5.0.1 you are cured because with tinyumbrella you can recover them from the cydia server.
        Embrace.

    Hello, the problem I have is that redsnow tells me "Unable to parse IPSW" when selecting firmware 5.0.1, I have been looking for information about this error and I have not found anything. I have downloaded the firmwares from different sites and I always get the same response. I have no idea what this error could be due to, does anyone have any idea?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello, I have an iPhone 4s and I had the jailbreak but I had a problem with it, I updated it to ios
    5.1. My question is if cydia open saved my shsh and can I do this downgrade? And the other is
    that I occupy the release. I have the most current gevey the ultra s. My question is if you will follow me
    serving? And which baseband uploads the ios 5.1.1?
    I hope you can help me.

    Hi, I have the following issue:
    when I open Cydia I see that I have the SHSH of several iOS, including 5.0.1, which is the one I need.
    Now when I go to Tinyumbrella it only brings me some of those SHSHs, not all of the ones I see on Cydia.
    I tried checking "Request SHSH from Cydia" and nothing, it remains the same.
    Any idea what else I can do?
    Thank you very much.

    Hello! I don't know if you can help me… I bought a supposedly new iPhone, the problem is that I wanted to restore it from iTunes and it doesn't recognize it even though I installed iTunes, I have followed various tutorials and I still can't, it doesn't connect me to the internet, it has Chinese apps and things like that, if I follow these steps that you comment, do you think I would reset everything to be able to now connect to the internet and delete the apps or what can I do ????

    It is an Iphone 4s version 5.0.1 (9A406) of 32 g and I could not even install cydia

    what can I do 🙁

      Be careful not to be a Chinese copy of an iPhone. If it's original, no idea, ask on forums like fansdeapple.com. Greetings
