What is up guys! I've been trying to upgrade my iPhone 4S (5.1.1) with redsn0w 9.15b3 to 6.0.1. Somehow someway, it doesn't work, as it says: "the blob signing window for 6.0.1 is probably closed". Problem is, I do have my 6.0.1 SHSH blobs saved in my computer. I verified the SHSH and it says the APticket is present and valid. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your time and answers! :D


What I really want to do, is just restore my iPhone as it is laggy. Is there any way for me just to restore it to 5.1.1 ?(I am currently at v5.1.1 and I don't have 5.1.1 blobs)
 
Also note that with a 4S you can only go to iOS 6.1.3, even if you have you iOS 6.0.1 blobs.
 
The iOS 5.X SHSH bug only works when going from one iOS 5 version to the same iOS 5 version. It does not work with going from iOS 5 to iOS 6. It only allows restores if the current iOS 5 firmware is not an OTA installation. I also do not think it works when upgrading to another iOS 5 firmware, such as iOS 5.0.1 to 5.1.1, but I could be wrong on that.

All depends on how you got your blobs, if you got them automatically via Cydia you're SOL.
The 6.0-6.1.2 blobs saved by Cydia are invalid.

If you save them manually you should be able to restore, but you'll have do that with sn0wbreeze or stitched blobs in redsn0w.

No blobs for 5.1.1 on a 4S means no restore, however you can use semi-restore (google it) or iLEX RAT in Cydia to restore your 4S to a clean just jailbroken state.

I indeed saved the blobs manually. But I've look up for iLEX RAT and found out iLEX Restore. Which completely filled my needs. I just needed a clean up of the iPhone. Thank you for your answer! Have a great day :D

Ok
The last, 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 is possible as long as you have blobs for both according to the dev team.
