Am tried to do the whole tiny umbrella thing last night and put my phone into pwned dfu and couldnt get it out. got that restored finally today. do you mean have i ever pressed "save shsh" in tiny umbrella? yes, but nothing shows up under "saved shsh" on general tab.Thread title edited to clear confusion.
You need to have the devices SHSH's saved for 4.3.3. Has or was your phone jailbroken on 4.3.3? Have you ever saved your devices ECID SHSH files?
my wifes phone which is currently jailbroken has never had her blobs saved neither but since she is on 4.3.3 right now should i save her blob? And in order to save her blob all i have to do is open tiny umbrella and plug her phone up and press save shsh.Thread title edited to clear confusion.

Tiny umbrella doesn't even show 4.3.5 when I go in there. Anyhow regardless of the situation unless you had 4.3.3 on your phone before and saved it, that's the only way to downgrade. So 4.3.5 user can only use tethered or wait for ios5 to be released and jailbreak to come out for it. Next time will be different. When I had my 3GS I always had it jailbroken then I got the 4 and didn't worry about it til now and it's too late.This is one way to check if you are eligible for restore. Anyone can download the firmware. Not everyone will be able to restore to it, though. You'll get an error message when trying to initiate the restore if you don't have the SHSH and a modified host file, which will redirect the signing from Apple to Saurik's server. Since you don't know if you have it, you can check by doing as I suggested or you can just run TinyUmbrella to see which SHSHs you have. If it only lists 4.3.5, downgrading will be impossible.
Correct, except actually running 4.3.3 at some point in the past is not a prerequisite. You just needed to backup the 4.3.3 SHSH while it's within the signing window. Backing it up at any point while it was the current firmware would have been possible regardless if you were actually running it or not. For example, you could have saved it on July 17th (which was the last day of signing) even if you were running 4.3.1 (0r any other firmware) at the time. I backed up 4.0 with TinyUmbrella (Firmware Umbrella) over a year ago and haven't had to do a thing since. Every firmware version has automatically been saved for me in Cydia since then, including the ones I never bothered updating to.Tiny umbrella doesn't even show 4.3.5 when I go in there.
