The new re-store features allow third gen iPad and iPhone 4S users to re-store to any version of iOS 5.x although Apple is not signing the software. You will just need the SHSH blobs for your iOS 5.x. The downgrade can only be done if you updated your device using iTunes and will not work if the upgrade has been done OTA (Over The Air). iPad 2 users will be able to downgrade if they have blobs from 4.x and 5.x saved. The A4 based iPhone 4, 3GS and 4th-gen iPod touch users can downgrade to an older firmware for untethered jailbreak provided that they have SHSH blobs saved for the firmware they want to downgrade to.
There are still no iOS 6 untethered jailbreak although the Dev teams are working hard on the issue. Stayed tuned for more unlock & jailbreak updates and feel free to comment. As soon as any new update concerning jailbreaks come out, we will let you know ASAP.
