TinyUmbrella is a tool developed by Semaphore also known as notcom, that enables users to save SHSH blobs by which you can downgrade your iOS to the previous versions. Recently, a new beta version has been released for TinyUmbrella, for the iOS version 8.1.3 and 8.2. Roll down to some of the important details before we tell you how to save the SHSH blobs.

Apple only enables you to restore to the latest version of iOS so you cannot downgrade and get a jailbreak status using the TaiG and PPJailbreak programs. The vulnerable elements that Apple stopped to sign are the SHSH blobs which enable you to downgrade your iOS to previous versions. TinyUmbrella allowed users to save their SHSH blobs while the firmware is signed. This can be used to bridge the pre-signed version's IPSW file from tools like Redns0w, which enables you to restore device with a version of iOS that Apple stopped signing. Hence, Apple closed all doors that allowed users to use SHSH blobs and jailbreak by downgrading their iOS version. The results are you cannot restore or downgrade to 6.x or above. The only exceptions are iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and the 4G iPod Touch.
