These are instructions on how to backup and save your iPhone SHSH Blobs to Cydia using RedSn0w for Windows.
Step One Create a folder on your desktop called Pwnage
Download RedSn0w from 0.9.9b1 here and place it in the Pwnage folder.
Extract the RedSn0w zip file into the same folder.
Step Two Launch the redsn0w application from the redsn0w folder we just extracted.
**Windows 7 users should run the redsn0w executable mode as an administrator in Windows Vista compatibility mode. You can do this by right clicking the executable and selecting Properties from the contextual menu.
Step Three Once RedSn0w opens click the Extras button
Step Four Click the SHSH blobs button from the Extras menu.
Step Five Click the Fetch button to fetch the SHSH blobs on your device and send them to the Cydia server for storage.
Step Six Please plug your iPhone into the computer and make sure its OFF then click the Next button
Step Seven RedSn0w will now guide you through the steps to get into DFU mode. You can find more help with DFU mode here
Hold down both the Home button and the Power button for 10 seconds.
Release the Power button and continue holding the Home button until RedSn0w detects the device.
Step Eight Your iPhone will now reboot
Step Nine RedSn0w will then begin fetch the SHSH blobs from your device and submit them to Cydia.
Step Ten Once this is complete you will be notified that your submission was a success. Click the Back button to return to RedSn0w.
Step Eleven Click the SHSH blobs button and then click the Query button to make sure Cydia has your blobs saved.
Step Twelve Enter * into the ECID textfield and click OK to check all your devices.
Step Thirteen RedSn0w will now query Cydia and display the list of stored blobs.
Important: RedSn0w also saves your blobs in a plist located within the RedSn0w folder. We would recommend keeping these for added safety.

Hey .. here i have needed to help anyone please..
I have Iphone 3gs 4.1 firmware and I want to upgrade 4.1 to 5.1 but redsnow 9.15 b3 only fetch 4.1 and 6.1.3 ...... what i need to do.. i will appriate
Thanks
hi, i'm trying to do a downgrade by ios 6.1.3 to ios 6.1.2, when i arrive at the step 8 redsnow show me "waiting for reboot" and my ipod 4g reboot, but redsnow remains stationary on that words.
what can i do..?
That tutorial only told u how to create no BB IPSW.. You then need to stitch those 5.1.1 blobs into it...then do the pwned DFU mode restore..
This is what I do on my 3GS... I think this works for a 4... This is a slightly modified version of my previous tutorial on 3GS for folks that didn't unlock...this should work for unlocking..at end of course u have to JB and install ultrasn0w as before...I've not done this myself all the way through as I don't unlock, so proceed at own risk. Would like to know I it works though...
This is for preserving baseband and stitching blobs...
1. Download stock iOS 5.1.1 IPSW.
2. Download redsn0w 0.9.14b2
3. Run redsn0w as administrator in windows.
3. Click on Custom IPSW button
4. Browse to downloaded stock IPSW
5. Let RS Finish creating no BB IPSW
6. Click Extras button.
7. Click SHSH blobs button.
8. Click Query button to see what blobs Cydia has for device.
9. If Cydia has required blobs, Click Stitch button.
10. Click IPSW button-browse for previously created 5.1.1 no BB IPSW file NOT the stock one.
11. Click Blobs-Cydia button to stitch remote Cydia stored blobs to IPSW.(or could do local if you have
them local).
12. Let Process and finish. It will take a few minutes.
13. Click Back button-Click Pwned DFU to put in pwned DFU mode-follow onscreen instructions.
14. Once in pwned DFU mode, close redsn0w, launch iTunes.
15. iTunes will see device in "recovery" mode. Click Check button.
16. Hold down Shift key, click Restore button. Browse to that stitched IPSW file
you created.Select it.
17. Wait for restore to finish as normal. JB as normal(or not)...Enjoy!
