TinyCFW

If you have updated your iPhone or iPad 2 to the latest iOS 5.0 and are stuck with it with no untethered jailbreak, you would have thought about going back to a world of untethered jailbreak even if it meant you will have to lose the awesome notification center and the other features on the iOS 5. If your answer is yes, there is a tool which will let you downgrade to iOS 4.3.3 so that you have the chance to have an untethered jailbreak on your iPhone or iPad 2 again. And that tool is the new Tiny CFW.

Tiny CFW comes from creator of another popular tool, Tiny Umbrella, who is Not Com. Tiny CFW uses the SHSH Blobs that you have saved from your iPhone or iPad 2 and then downgrades to the older iOS 4.3.3. After this, you can use any of the other tools to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad 2, an untethered jailbreak this time.

The developer, Not Com, explains:

“TinyCFW is a simple tool I put together for a friend of mine. He has an iPad 2 GSM and has his 4.3.3 SHSH but since Apple is no longer signing 4.3.3, it isn’t possible to downgrade to 4.3.3 without getting stuck in a 1015 recovery loop.

  • It will modify an existing IPSW for an iPad 2 GSM/CDMA or iPhone 4 GSM/CDMA
  • It WILL modify the IPSW to update your baseband to the latest
  • It will create an IPSW that you can use with TinyUmbrella AND iTunes to restore to a version of iOS that you have SHSHs for
  • It is primarily for iPad 2 with a baseband OR iPhone 4.
Not Com also says that this Tiny CFW was not actually developed for a public release, but it for a friend who was in need. But then Not Com thought why not make it public so that other people in need of the same thing can use it. So, if you are interested, you can download the tool here.
