I have an Iphone 5, so I need to downgrade to 9.0.2 to be able to use the jailbreak that works for my phone. Problem is it is not "signed" or whatever, so I have no idea how I would go about doing that.
I already have the ipsw downloaded, so if anyone could help me that would be amazing

So basically you are saying it is not possible for me to jailbreak my Iphone 5?
That's what Intell is saying.

Upgrading or downgrading requires the IPSW to be signed. Essentially what that means is that Apple has the key on their servers to allow an upgrade or downgrade. If Apple is NOT signing a particular firmware then the key is removed from their server and you cannot upgrade/downgrade.

You're stuck where you are.

Well do you think the people who make it will ever make it support 32-bit or is my Iphone basically trash now since I'm getting a new phone?

Currently the situation is that there will be no 32-bit jailbreak for 9.1 or above.

That does not make your iPhone 5 trash. I still have mine even though I have had a 6+ and now use a 6s+.

My 5 serves as a media device on WiFi. Hardly useless.

I have an iphone 4s (32 bit) upgraded to ios 9.3.2 some months ago.
Till this time there is no tool for jailbreak this version.
So how can i downgrade this phone to an earlier version that has a jailbreak tool?
Please help, it seems i have a trash phone too.

As said above, you are unable to downgrade your iPhone to an earlier version. For the most part, there is no going back once you upgrade (which has been common ever since iOS 7)

Your closest chance of downgrading on a 32 bit device is OdysseusOTA

However, it seems like Apple has changed some things in iOS 9 and you will need to already be on a jailbroken device in order to downgrade

Thanks for the link.
That link tells us you should have a jailbroken phone for downgrade.
From iOS 9.0, 9.0.1, 9.0.2 to iOS 8.4.1
So it's not useful for downgrade from ios 9.3.2 (no Jailbreak) to an earlier version.
By the way ios 9.3.2 was horrible for me and i think it's eating my battery in every piece of time.
