TinyUmbrella

TinyUmbrella 64 bit is a mobile phone tool that provides iPhone users with a valuable service of restoring their jailbroken iPhone to another firmware version! While this procedure is impossible using regular firmware management tools, this app manages to provide it by using previously saved SHSH blobs for loading and authenticating previous versions of OS firmware.

TinyUmbrella for PC is a powerful software designed for iOS device users, offering an array of features primarily focused on device management and recovery. Developed by The Firmware Umbrella, the tool gained popularity for its ability to save SHSH blobs, which allows users to downgrade their iOS firmware even after Apple stops signing it. Beyond this core functionality, it has evolved to encompass a broader suite of features aimed at enhancing the user experience with iOS devices.

By having this tool handy and available on your PC, you retain the ability to restore your jailbroken iPhone or iPad to the official operating system, which is a feature that can be quickly and safely done only with help from a third-party app.

The procedure for enabling your iPhone to be reverted to an official firmware release is handled completely by the Tiny Umbrella, which runs in the background of your PC and collects information about your iPhone via your iTunes account and official Apple servers. After successfully scanning the phone's account and collecting all the needed and unique SHSH blobs, it prepares a unique version of the OS update file that is routed to online Cydia servers where it is preserved and offered for access whenever your want it via TSS client or even via offline iTunes update.

In the event that Apple has decided to stop supporting the signing of certain firmware updates, the entire downgrade procedure will become unavailable. Thankfully the application will notify you with clear warnings. If you are too late to create a downgrade point for your firmware, you can try extracting SHSH data directly from your iPhone using other 3rd party app solutions.

Be aware that your Windows will need to have Java Runtime Environment installed in order for this application to run. After checking that JRE is up and functional on your desktop or laptop PC, simply install TinyUmbrella 64 bit using an automated installer, connect your iPhone to PC via USB cable, and start the app that will automatically detect your phone.
