iFaith
when your device comes from Apple, it comes with a firmware pre-installed. If Apple is no longer signing that firmware, you wouldnt be able to save the SHSH blobs in the past. With ih8sn0ws new tool, you can dump the SHSH blob directly from your currently installed firmware. The way this works is that Apple has signed image files that show up during the boot sequence with the SHSH blob. iFaith allows you to dump your SHSH key directly from those files.
After you have dumped the files, you then patch the firmware file you are trying to downgrade to with your SHSH key, this firmware file is considered a signed firmware file. Once you have created it, you simply restore it in Pwned-DFU mode just like you would if you were restoring any other custom firmware. iFaith is compatible with mostly all iDevices except for the iPad2 and a few others.
Download iFaith-v1.0
These are instructions on how to dump the SHSH of your current firmware even if Apple is not signing.
For instance, you can dump the SHSH of the current firmware on your device, so long as the device is susceptible to the Limera1n jailbreak (Everything but the iPad 2) Apple does not have to be signing the SHSH in order for you to dump the blob.
*Note the iPod Touch 2G and iPhone 3G will not work since they will always be jailbreakable. The iPad 2 will not work because it is not susceptible to Limera1n. A jailbreak is not needed for this.
Step One
Extract the downloaded rar file, and double click the iFaith.exe file.
Step Two
A disclaimer will appear. Read the notice and click ok to proceed.
Step Three
Click the Dump SHSH Blobs button
Step Four
Read the information and click Proceed when you are ready.
Finally, click the Lets Go! button to start the dumping process
Step Five
If you are dumping an Apple TV 2, indicate it when iFaith asks you
Step Six
Follow the DFU Instructions to place your device in DFU Mode. You can find more on entering DFU mode here.
Press Power and home for 10 Seconds
Release the power button, but keep holding the Home
Once Successful, iFaith will dump the SHSH of your current firmware. It will go through each step which could take a few minutes.
Step Seven
When completed, iFaith will ask you where to locally save the SHSH.
Indicate where you want to save the SHSH file.
Step Eight
iFaith will notify you that the process was successful

iFaith v1 3 Released Fixes DFU Loops And Other Bugs
iH8Sn0w has released a new version ofiFaith v1.3. iFaith v1.3 comes with some major changes so we cannot say it’s a minor release. One the major issue which has been fixed in this release is “DFU Loop”, some users were stuck continuous DFU Loop after restoring back to stock or jailbreaked firmware. The problem has been fixed now, complete change log is given below.
iFaith v1.3 supports following devices :
iFaith v1.3 supports following devices :
As iFaith uses DFU bootrom exploit to work and we don’t have any bootrom level exploit for iPad 2 to iFaith v1.3 won’t support iPad 2.
- Apple TV 2G
- iPad 1
- iPhone 3GS
- iPhone 4
- iPod Touch 2G
- iPod Touch 3G
- iPod Touch 4G
Release Notes of iFaith v1.3:For iOS 3.1.x/3.2.x/4.0.x/4.1/4.2.1/4.2.6/4.2.7/4.2.8/4.3/4.3.1/4.3.2/4.3.3Want to know more about iFaith, please read below:
DFU Loops were being caused on devices that had the factory certificate.
On this new version. When building the signed IPSW. If you were getting
a DFU loop, say “NO” to the prompt about using the standard
signing certificate.
——————————-
* You can now use TinyUmbrella blobs to build a signed IPSW.
[Change Filetype in browse dialog to "TinyUmbrella SHSH blobs".]
——————————-
* Now adds ECID to beginning of the SHSH filename after dumping.
* Now adds ECID to beginning of the IPSW filename after being built.
* Cleaned up code + payload.
* Its not possible to add iPad 2 support until a bootrom exploit arises.if you want to restore your iDevice to a previous iOS, the process will fail unless you have the blobs for that particular iOS version saved and use such tools as TinyUmbrella.Download iFaith v1.3:
But, saving the blobs for an iOS version can only be done as long as Apple still signs that iOS. When a new iOS version is being released, Apple stops signing the previous version and if you didn’t save your blobs you can kiss your downgrade goodbye. Or that’s how it was until today. Because iFaith takes care of this problem.
If your iDevice is susceptible to the Limera1n jailbreak ( all iDevices except iPad 2, iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2G – last two are forever jailbreakable ) you can use iFaith to dump the blobs from the device.
For example, if your device is running a prior iOS to 4.3.3 ( latest release to date ), you can use iFaith to get the blobs for your iOS version even if Apple stopped signing it.
