Read this tutorial, it explains what blobs are, how to save them, and how to use them.http://www.iphoneforums.net/forum/h...ave-your-shsh-blobs-using-tinyumbrella-18924/

The real importance this time is the APTickets as well as the blobs. Blobs are saved Apple signatures for a specific iOS for a specific device. APTickets are saved Apple signatures for a specific iOS for a specific device for a specific restore. As 4S users have learned from iOS 5, APTickets are extremely important in being able to keep your 4S on iOS 5 for an untethered jailbreak rather than to upgrade to iOS 6 if anything were to go wrong on your device and you're forced to restore.

So if we are on 5.1.1 still would be smart to just update now?

willerz2 · Feb 3, 2013

Me personally, I'm staying on my iOS 5 untethered jailbreaks until all bombs are dropped, meaning all updates are made, everything is stable, I get the hang of what iOS 6 jailbreak is using and doing to the device before I upgrade my current iOS 5 devices to iOS 6. That's just me. Some users just want the iOS 6 jailbreak since there have been cases of battery lives being a lot better than iOS 6, but I don't see much of a difference if at all on any of my devices. Remember that once the iOS 6 jailbreak drops, there won't be 100% immediate support for many apps, so double check that the apps that you want to use are updated for iOS 6 before you commit.

I have a question though , i have just restored and upgraded to 6.1 it says on the evasion website we have to run 6.0 through 6.1 ? What does this mean and how to ? I am now running 6.1 ?

It means you need to be running iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2 or 6.1.

It means it'll work for all iOS from 6.0 to 6.1 inclusive, meaning your device will work
