iPhone iOS 6.1 upgrade via OTA...

[zuckuss00]

I made the mistake of updating my iPhone 5 to 6.1 via OTA which I guess doesn't retain the shsh blobs. What can I do to make sure they are saved? Force restore with 6.1?

Thanks!

1. Make a full backup on iTunes.
2. Perform a restore on iTunes.
3. When phone reconnects to iTunes after restore, use the backup you just made.
4. Use redsn0w or TU to backup your blobs.
5. Profit

What he said above.
Just restore using itunes and you can use either redsnow or tinyumbrella to save your blobs.
