iphone 5 jailbreak

kylejohnson.cga · Dec 16, 2012

I need to install a third party app to an iphone 5 however to install the app i need an iphone with IOS5 and I need to jailbreak it. Would a viable solution be to downgrade the operating system in my current iphone 5 from IOS6 to IOS5 and jail break that version? I just wish there was a jailbreak for IOS6 already!

It is impossible to install iOS 5.x on the iPhone 5. It requires SHSH Blobs and they don't exist for anyone.

In addition... even w/ SHSH's saved for the iPhone 5... regardless of iOS version... it's currently not possible to downgrade it.

You can't downgrade the iOS of your iPhone or any other iDevice to a version earlier than that installed at the factory. In the case of the iPhone 5 that would mean that it is impossible to downgrade to any version of iOS 5 or earlier, as iOS 6 was installed at the factory.
