How to Downgrade from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0
First, download iH8sn0ws Sn0wbreeze Tool.
Then download 5.0.1 and 5.0 firmware for your Apple Device.
Now open Sn0wbreeze and create 2 custom firmwares one for 5.0 and one from 5.0.1.
Open Winrar and navigate into the 5.0 IPSW.
In there there are 2 .dmg files in there. Move both to your Desktop.
Once that is done, leave the 5.0 ipsw and navigate into the 5.0.1 custom Firmware.
In there you will see two dmgs, too. copy their names into a text file, and mark the name of the bigger one. Then delete them.
On the Desktop, where you have saved your dmgs in, locate the biggest one (about 700mb). rename the bigger one as the previous one was called. (the name you marked)
Also rename the smaller one as the smaller file in the 5.0 IPSW was called.
Now leave the IPSW, put your Device into PWNED DFU (Snowbreeze) and click shift restore in iTunes
Select the Patched IPSW and restore.
Have Fun!
Do we still need the shsh blobs for this?
Nope!
Just to clarify
i replace the 2 dmgs from 5.0.1 with the ones in 5.0
then I rename the two 5.0 dmgs to the same names as the the ones in 5.0.1
the i save and enter pwned dfu with sn0wbreze
and then shift + restore in itunes
is this correct ???????
This is very hard to understand. Do i just leave the .dmgs on my desktop then try to restore? and which one do i restore to? help plz:/
Do I need shsh blobs
Nope! Not at all!
I tried doing it this way. Did not work. Towards the end of your post it gets a bit fuzzy. Can you please clarify it? and have you actually tried downgrading using this method? Thanks in advance.

I see 3 dmg files
Whih ones do I use what is the approximate size of each one I’m supposed to use
Sorry to say the tutorial was not that clear. Instead of finding two .dmg files in 5.0.1, I found 3. It did not work because i persistently got error 3194. That shows that this tutorial works. If it did work for someone, correct me. But I wouldn’t know because this tutorial did become fuzzy in what to do with the .dmg files and where to move them and what to rename which ones. Hoping this would work but was just another failed tutorial. Please explain more if this works so that I may have success so that I can credit you guys.
How do I fix error 11 in iTunes It’s says extracting then error 11
Great job! This works perfect and creates a great arsenal of tricks for interested clients. Please let me know when other development you have rolled out.
