After writing detailed guide on how to downgrade iOS 6.0.1 to iOS 6 and 5.1.1 I received messages from some users that they had problems when they had been trying to downgrade iOS 6.0.1 to iOS 5.1.1, so I decided to show you another method to do that. This method almost the same as previous, even simpler. Redsn0w is the tool you need and, as you might think, saved iOS 5.1.1 SHSH blobs because you won't perform successful downgrade without it. But let us all in order. What You Need
  1. You need to know that you can downgrade from iOS 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 only on iPhone 4, 3GS and iPod Touch. All other iOS devices are not supported.
  2. As it was said you would have to use latest version of Redsn0w 0.9.15b3 (you can do it below) and saved iOS 5.1.1 blobs for successful downgrade. If you don't have those blobs it won't work. If you have blobs it doesn't matter if you saved it using TinyUmbrella or Cydia.
  3. Also you need to know that this downgrading process requires iPhone restore, so you better perform a backup before we start and remember that only iOS 6.0.1 backups will not work on iOS 5.1.1
If everything is OK we can start.
