With Apple releasing the iOS 6.1.1 beta firmware today it is a good reminder for you to save your SHSH blobs before it is too late! I know what you might be thinking… why should I save my SHSH blobs when they are not even useful on A5/A6 devices? Well, because you never know what the future holds and with SHSH blobs you can still restore A5/A6 devices to the same firmware version you are currently running which can be useful if you feel like starting afresh. Without saved SHSH blobs you wouldn’t even be able to restore back to iOS 6.1 when Apple release iOS 6.1.1.

I cannot get the TinyUnbrella to run. I’ve turned off firewall & downloaded it from the above link. I click run, it starts; goes to “Verifying libraries”…the says unable to ???? do something, I cannot read it because it closes very quickly and the process stops.
How do I get the software to open/work? Any ideas?

TU won’t work on my Windows 8 laptop. I had Java version 11 installed.
Once again you have put your penetrating mind to the task and once again come up incorrect.
