[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 841698, member: 298987"] I`ve not had a play with the iPad mini so I don`t really know but I have read that 6.1.3 cannot be jailbroken and the Evasi0n team are waiting for IOS7 before they release anything new so I think you may be stuck until the next major IOS update This is the first time I`ve heard that an OTA update produces different SHSH blobs than a factory/iTunes upgrade, to be fair I tend to avoid any update unless there is a safe way to recover if anything goes wrong so I`d never take an OTA update With the iPhone 3, 3GS and 4 (maybe even 4s but I`ve not tried it) you can always get back to 4.1, this is no good for any JB unlock though as the baseband changes up with every(other) update and can`t be safely downgraded (the only exception to this is the iPad baseband that works on the 3 and older 3gs models) You need to download the version 4.1 IOS for the device on a PC or Mac, turning the phone off in the normal way (but leaving it plugged into computer) and puttting it into DFU mode by holding the power and home buttons for 15 seconds then, release the power button but keep holding the home button for another 15 seconds or so, until the computer picks up the phone and iTunes pops up a warning box saying the phone needs recovering When the iTunes message comes up on the computer, click ok and then holding down the shift key on your keyboard (or command key on mac) and click on restore, choose the 4.1 IOS we downloaded earlier and let iTunes do it`s do You might have to try it a few times but it does work because for some reason Apple still sign the 4.1 IOS for the 3, 3gs and 4 [/QUOTE]
