Yesterday we talked about the tool TinyCFW, a program created by the developer of TinyUmbrella for a friend of his, in fact he wasn't even planning to go public.
This tool has one main function: downgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 4.3.3 on an iPad 2 WiFi + 3G GSM (not CDMA, in Spain they are all GSM). The reason is that before You could not downgrade the iPad 2 3G because of the baseband, when doing the check it gave an error 1500. This tool updates the baseband so that the update does not fail. In the iPhone 4 we can skip this error because we have a bootrom exploit.
Entonces what we get is a firmware 4.3.3 with the baseband of iOS 5.0.1 (or the one offered by Apple in the future).
This tool can also be used on iPhone 4. What is the difference with other downgrade tutorials that I have already read in iPhone News? Very easy, the others keep the baseband, it updates it.
For whom is this tool indicated then? For people who don't care about the baseband, that is, those who use their iPhone with their operator of origin or use a free iPhone, all except those who use some kind of release (Gevey SIM or Ultrasn0w, if you use them this is not your tool).
Does it work for the iPhone 4S? And the 3GS? It does not work only for iPhone 4 and iPad 2.
Do I need any SHSH? Yes, you always need the SHSH of the version you want to install, to use this tool you need the SHSH of iOS 4.3.3
And what advantages does it offer? The advantages of this tool are that you will not have errors in the restoration of the custom firmware, no recovery loop, no error number XXXX or anything, a simple and error-free restore.

Tutorial available in a few hours.
A doubt in the information says this ...
«This tool has one main function: to downgrade from iOS 5 to iOS 4.3.3 on an iPad 2 WiFi + 3G GSM (not CDMA, in Spain they are all GSM). The reason is that you cannot downgrade on the iPad 2 3G »
IPad 2 WIFI + 3G is not the same as iPad 2 3G ??.
Thank you
Modified for better understanding
"This tool updates the baseband, the others maintain it" is not true. If you are 5.0.1, when you go down to 4.3.3 you will have the baseband of 5.0.1. With this tool and with any other. The only exception is if you have used custom firmware for both upload and download.
The interest of some in leaving us badly never ceases to amaze me.
.
DON'T PEPE! YOU'RE WRONG.
.
All the tools that create custom firmwares keep the baseband, if you are in 5.0 they leave you the one you have download to the version you download, if you are in 5.0.1 they leave you that too.
If you are in 4.3 they leave you that baseband and put another firmware.
.
This tool puts you the last one, if you are in 5.0, IT GIVES YOU THE BASEBAND OF 5.0.1
if you are in 4.0 and you go up to 4.3.3 IT GIVES YOU THE BASEBAND OF 5.0.1
.
That is, it is the only tool that does not preserve the baseband. UPDATE IT.
.
just as we have said.
I'm sorry but the wrong one is you:
- Downgrade: downgrade from one iOS to a lower one.
- Custom firmware: modified firmware that usually has Jailbreak done and that serves to maintain baseband for release issues.
They are two different things. You can use custom firmware to downgrade, of course, but that doesn't mean that the downgrade tools keep the baseband. In fact, and what is even more absurd, is that the tutorial you link to uses an official firmware, you don't even use a custom firmware in that tutorial, so what the hell does a custom firmware have to do with the downgrade?
When one downgrades to another lower firmware, the same baseband that you have (that of the higher iOS) is always kept. This tool, as you say in this article «is to downgrade from iOS 5 to 4.3.3» (I quote), so that the baseband with which you are going to stay is with iOS 5, it is say, the one you already have. In other words, your baseband is not going to be modified.
In the only case in which this tool uploads your baseband to iOS 5, it would be if you were on iOS 4.3 and you wanted to upgrade to 4.3.3, but we are no longer talking about a downgrade, but an upgrade. Speak properly then.
By the way, and finally, and to recommend that you inform yourself a little before answering, the baseband of iOS 5.0 is the same as that of 5.0.1. (04.11.08)
My comment was not intended to make you feel bad, it was just a clarification. But since you say so yourself, I have no interest in leaving you badly, you leave yourselves badly ...
I am not mistaken. You are confusing our readers.
.
Downgrading always keeps the baseband you have, effectively.
This tool does not maintain it, but it puts you the latest available, IT DOES NOT MAINTAIN IT.
.
You say, 'They are two different things. You can use custom firmware to downgrade, of course, but that doesn't mean that the downgrade tools keep the baseband.

.
All the tools to downgrade do not maintain the baseband, what I have said is that all the tools that create custom firmwares do. TinyCFW is the first one that doesn't.
.
Upgrading from 4.0 to 4.3.3 is done in the same way as a downgrade, call it what you want, but the process is that of a downgrade.
.
You say: «In the only case in which this tool uploads your baseband to iOS 5, it would be if you were on iOS 4.3 and you wanted to upgrade to 4.3.3, but we are no longer talking about a downgrade, but an upgrade. Speak properly then. "
IT IS NOT TRUE, you are talking about the firmwares that exist, I do a tutorial that will work when there is iOS 5.1 or iOS 5.2
When this happens and you go from 5.0 or 5.0.1 to 4.3.3, do you know what Baseband will put you? 5.1 or 5.2, that is, UPDATE THE BASEBAND.
.
I already know that the baseband DE 5.0 and 5.0.1 is the same, as I have just told you this tutorial will work in the future, your "theory" will not.
.
Since you get cocky saying that we leave ourselves badly and that you are one of those who is always annoying, insulting and discrediting, I will tell you one thing, I will not allow you to confuse users or try to leave anyone in this blog bad , much less without reason.
Your email is FALSE, if you want to write in this blog use your real email as the rest of the users do, we can contact you if necessary, otherwise your comments will be deleted.
Hi well, this conflict you have is due to a misunderstanding and I already used tinycfw and it is only to use an ios for example I put the ios 4.2.1 and I leave it with the bb of ios 5.0.1 in this case update to the previous version that the new bone that the software that we put on it is going to leave you the bb in the last I think it explains me well, thank you
At least it is fine for people who have a free iphone for emei, and apparently even to create a custom with 4.3.3. And if everything goes as the developer wants, we would not have to use fix recovery or other tools. It's nice to have variety. Now only ifaith for mac. That could not hurt.
