    iPhone SHSH blobs for iPhone 3GS (3.1.3)

    Does anyone here have a link for iPhone 2,1 (3GS) SHSH Blobs for iOS 3.1.3? And before you say that SHSH blobs are unique to a device and a downgrade won't be successful, there is actually a way of downgrading your iDevice *tethered* with someone else's SHSH blobs via iFaith with your iPhone...

    Downgrade iPad 1 to iOS 3.2?

    OK, I don't have an iPad 1, but is there an easy way to downgrade an iPad 1 to iOS 3.2 (which was its original OS)? Or any other version of 3.2 (3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc.)? I have found many guides to this, but many were from 2010 and I assume the information is out-of-date.

    Back to 2010
