A new version of TinyUmbrella, the tool that allows you to take backups of SHSH blobs (ECID SHSH) to let you downgrade to older iOS versions has been released to include support for iOS 5.0.1.

Apple had released iOS 5.0.1 last week to fix some of the bugs that was affecting iPhone’s battery life.

It may be a good idea to take a backup of SHSH blobs, even though Apple has made it difficult to downgrade to an older version of iOS 5.x using SHSH blobs in iOS 5.

Even though there is still no working solution for restoring 5.x on iPhone 4S I have released a 5.01.00 so you can at least save 5.0.1 SHSH. I have added tentative support for at least saving 5.0.1 SHSHs for iPhone 4S but as of now we are unable to use them fully.

You can download the latest version of TinyUmbrealla from Semaphore’s blog. Continue reading “Tiny Umbrella Updated To Support iOS 5.0.1” »

If you’re eagerly waiting for Apple to release iOS 5.0.2 to fix the remaining bugs affecting battery life then you may have to wait.

The news comes from German site Macerkopf that had claimed last week that Apple will release iOS 5.0.2 no later than this week.

According to the German site, iOS 5.0.2 has been delayed due to memory leak issues, which will need further tested testing.

Apple had released iOS 5.0.1 to address the battery life issues reported by users after upgrading to iOS 5, but that didn’t to address the issue for all the users.

It also remains to be seen if iOS 5.0.2 will also address the other issues reported by iPhone 4S users such as the audio bugs and SIM card issues.
