Firmware Umbrella
Once you ‘upgrade’, apple doesn’t let you downgrade to older iOS firmware. The way apple does this is by taking the firmware version files and ECID and generate a hash that ONLY APPLE can generate. iTunes packages up this hash and sends it to your device. Your device checks the information and verifies the signature making your device look for Authenticity. Apple stops signing older firmwares once a new one is out, henc eolder firmwares stop working.
How Firmware Umbrella fixes it
FirmwareUmbrella sends the same exact request that iTunes sends Apple when requesting the signatures for your device to be restored. It saves SHSH signatures for your device received from the Apple server and let to downgrade OS indefinitely.
TinyTSS
TinyTSS is a small java app that acts as your very own signature service. When iTunes verifies thefirmware restore for the devices listed below, it checks if you are allowed to restore to the version you are requesting. With TinyTSS + the shsh blob file(s) you obtained with Umbrella, you will be able to restore to the version of those shsh files forever!
TinyUmbrella = Firmware Umbrella + TinyTSS
