TinyUmbrella has now been updated to version 6.13.00 which brings with it support for Apple's latest iOS 6.1.3 firmware. As many of you are aware, downgrading an iOS device can often turn out to be one of the more cumbersome activities in the world of jailbreaking and this is why TinyUmbrella has become such a valuable tool.
If you have had to revert to an older firmware on more than one occasion you will be well aware of the difficulties and why TinyUmbrella is an invaluable little app to have on your team. The developer Notcom took to his Twitter account to announce the update. He stated that TU 6.13.00 supports iOS 6.1.3 and that he would have added apticket validation but he couldn't get it in. It will be made available in version 6.1.301.
Cydia creator Saurik took to his blog ealier this month to discuss downgrading from iOS 6.1.3 to 6.1.2 and how this issue was affecting people. He also noted that any Aptickets/SHSH saved via Cydia on iOS 6.0 up until 6.1.2 were essentially useless. Those on A4 devices, provided they had saved their APTickets locally via tools such as TU or iFaith, could still hold out hope of downgrading their firmware.
TinyUmbrella has long been an important tool in the jailbreak scene for downgrading and with the updates still coming in, it is still as pivotal as it's always been. As well as some of the more recent features, one of its key selling points is the ability to kick a device out of recovery mode at will which many who have messed around with their iOS devices over the years will really appreciate.
TinyUmbrella is available now and even thought saving 6.1.3 blobs aren't as useful now, there is no harm in saving them because you never know when they might become useful again. Almost all iOS devices are supported including iPhone 5, iPad mini and the iPod touch 5.
