 For those of you that have been waiting for a downgrade without the need for SHSH Blobs, the wait is over. Brought to you by @blackgeektuto, he has developed "GeekGrade"  which gives you the ability to downgrade your iPhone 4 (GSM, CDMA, and Rev A) and your iPod Touch 4 Generation, but is tethered. 

NOTE: PLEASE READ

  • This is a TETHERED downgrade, which simply means that every time you turn off your device, you will need to boot tether it so it can boot up. You can boot tether your device with a programs such as: redsn0w or GeekSn0w.
  • Before performing this downgrade it is highly advised to do a clean restore to the latest iOS version available. By doing this downgrade will lose all the data stored on your device, because the backup can not be restored to an older firmware.
  • I do not, nor does the developer, take any responsibility for misfortune while using GeekGrade with your device!

Step By Step Guide:



  • Go into the Music folder and you'll see that inside there will be another folder called "iTunes" rename the folder "iTunes" to "iTunes_orig",
