TinyUmbrella overview

TinyUmbrella facilitates the process of restoring your iPhone's iOS, and is also useful for jailbreaking the device. It does two things:

  • Requests SHSH signatures for firmware restores
  • Plays back those signatures enabling iTunes to continue the restore
TinyUmbrella sends the same exact request that iTunes sends Apple when requesting the signatures for your device to be restored. The difference is that TinyUmbrella does not need to do anything to your device. You do not need to be on the firmware version that TinyUmbrella is requesting signatures. As an example, I've been on 3.1.2 for quite some time. TinyUmbrella has saved my 3.1, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 signatures. This is because the request that iTunes sends to Apple includes your ECID and the details about the firmware version. Apple sends the response signatures and TinyUmbrella saves them so you can use them whenever you want; Even if Apple has stopped signing that particular version.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANYTHING FROM GENEIO!!! The product not only never worked but implanted files throughout my computer and modified my preferences without my approval. It forced all my internet browsers to use Bing as a search engine and was not changeable through preferences. I even believe that it has files watching everything I do on my computer including emails, wi-fi, my location and transactions. I think I've deleted everything but can't be 100% sure.

Simply can't get it to work. I get the "Unable to validate libraries; reticulating spines" error on launch and then the app just quits. Searched the web for solutions, but most are PC based. Nothing seems to fix Mac issue. Damn shame.
