Download iPhone or iPad firmware and dump SHSH blobs so that restoring from a backup, thus downgrading, is possible.

iFaith is a very useful tool for people owning Apple devices running iOS. It is a jailbreaking tool which allows you to downgrade your current iOS install to something more suitable towards your needs such as jailbreaking and using the device you purchased the way you want to.

Before you upgrade to a newer version of iOS by installing an update, you can use iFaith to dump something called an "SHSH Blob". This gives you the opportunity to save the SHSH Blob to enable you to downgrade to a previous version of iOS or even to install older versions from sites distributing previous iOS versions.

The problem currently supports several different devices, most known are older iPhones and older iPads. Depending on the release, your phone or tablet may or may not be supported.

Overall though, iFaith is a simple program which isn't too difficult to use if you are interested in running older versions of the operating systems distributed by Apple for their portable devices. Very useful for iOS jailbreakers.
