How To Downgrade iOS 7 To iOS 6 Using iFaith

There have been a ton of people who have updated their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad to iOS 7 and wished they could have downgraded back to iOS 6. But unfortunately it is impossible right? Well this may not be the case for iPhone 4 owners who managed to save their SHSH blobs on iOS 6, specifically on iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.2.

Due to the fact that a bootrom exploit is present on the iPhone 4 that leaves it Jailbroken for life, it also means that it can be downgraded for life as long as you have saved SHSH blobs. So if you have an iPhone 4 that is running any variant of iOS 7 and you would like to go back to iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.2 (or any iOS 6 firmware you have saved SHSH blobs for) you will be glad to know it is indeed possible and in this tutorial we will show you how to downgrade.

Unfortunately this leaves a lot of people in the dark, however, but that is the reality of the situation. Only iPhone 4 owners with saved SHSH blobs with a Windows computer will be able to take advantage of this specific downgrade.

How To Downgrade iOS 7 To iOS 6

Step 1) - The first thing you will need to do is ensure you are running iTunes 11.0.5 or below. If you are on a newer version of iTunes like 11.1.x then you will need to uninstall it from your computer and re-install an older version. This is because newer versions of iTunes actually kill the ability to restore to custom firmware files. One last thing to keep in mind is when uninstalling make sure you remove all traces,  including services like Apple Mobile Device, Apple Software Update and Bonjour.

Once you uninstall iTunes and all of the related services, restart your computer and then download iTunes 11.0.5 from here. When it downloads install it. If you encounter an error that has to do with “iTunes Music Library.xml”, head over to your iTunes Music folder and delete said file.

Step 2) - Now it is time to grab the latest version of iFaith and of course either the iOS 6.1.3 firmware or 6.1.2 firmware from the iJailbreak Downloads Section. Lastly you will need to acquire your SHSH blobs from wherever you saved them locally. Those who saved them on Cydia will need to make use of the  “Show Available SHSH Caches on Server” option in iFaith to save them on your desktop now.

Step 3) - Ensure iFaith is up and running if it isn’t already and click the ”*signed* IPSW w / Blobs”. This will begin the custom firmware creation process where you will need to select your SHSH blobs and then iFaith will work its magic and create a downgradable iOS 6 firmware file for your iPhone 4.

Step 4) - Once it has been created follow the on-screen instructions for putting your device into Pwned DFU mode. When your iPhone 4 enters Pwned DFU mode launch iTunes, select your iPhone, Shift click the restore button and select the custom firmware iFaith created.

After the restore is complete you will have successfully downgraded your iPhone 4 from iOS 7 to iOS 6.1.3 or 6.1.2.

The PlayStation 4  Jailbroken, Here’s How Can Do It.

Roughly a week after the release of the PlasyStation 4 and it looks like it already could have been Jailbroken by a hacker who goes by the alias of Reckz0r. The news comes from Playzon who shared Reckz0r’s playzon PasteBin file that essentially explains the whole process in a step-by-step format.

The Jailbreak could allow for pirated games, customizations of the UI of the PlayStation and just about anything else hackers can do with root access.

Reckz0r shouldn’t be credited with developing the Jailbreak in its entirety, however, he says he did not find the vulnerability in the PlayStation 4 himself or create the exploit. Instead he credits a Brazilian console-hacking forum. What he did do though is provide clear instructions on how anyone can Jailbreak their PlayStation 4.

As you all know, PS4 runs Orbis OS, that is highly based on FreeBSD (which is a opensource operating system), and as the PS4 is closely identical to a PC, I guess you all knew that PS4 and the Xbox One will probably end up getting pawned soon, and now..its time.

Not many people have been able to verify whether this Jailbreak is 100% legit simply due to the fact not many people own the console yet, but some success has been reported.

Of course if you would like to Jailbreak your PlaySation 4 you better do it fast because Sony has been known to shut things down fast. In fact, Reckz0r already posted a screenshot of a proposed conversation he had with the official PlayStation Twitter account, via direct message.

If you’re interested in Jailbreaking your PlayStation 4 click here to view the PasteBin file that contains the instructions. In case the file goes down they have also been pasted below:

Jailbreak Package (exploit): https://depositfiles.com/files/xwurigoq

***IMPORTANT***** – You need the DAY ONE Update to jailbreak the PS4, otherwise these files will be considered unrecognizable.

GUIDE:

1. Create a folder on your USB storage device. This is where you’ll put the exploit.

2. Create a “SANDERPS4″ folder. Inside that folder, create another folder named “EXP.”

3. Extract the PSORBISEXP.PUP file from the package, and save it in the EXP folder.

4. Make sure your PlayStation 4 is turned off.

5. Connect the USB storage device to your PlayStation 4, and press the power button for at least 7 seconds. The PlayStation 4 will start in Safe Mode.

6. Select “Update System Software.”

7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the jailbreak.

8. If your PlayStation 4 doesn’t recognize the jailbreaking file, make sure that the folder and file names are correct.

9. Voila! JAILBROKEN!
