TinyUmbrella is the go to tool for jailbroken and non-jailbroken iOS devices when it comes to saving SHSH blobs. What are SHSH blobs? Well, these are unique to every iOS device (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Apple TV), like a signature, and come in handy when dowgrading or restoring to a firmware that isn’t signed by Apple anymore.

If you’re still rocking an iPhone 4, you can use TinyUmbrella to preserve the baseband and unlock. At present, TinyUmbrella is pretty much useless, as it cannot be used to downgrade your iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad anymore.
Apple made it impossible for SHSH blobs to be used while downgrading or restoring to an unsigned firmware ever since iOS 5.x. However, Semaphore, the developer behind TinyUmbrella, believes that the SHSH blobs will become useful again in the future.
Therefore, a new version of TinyUmbrella was released earlier this year, which allows you to save your SHSH blobs. You cannot do anything else with it except save the SHSH blobs.
