I'm not sure if this post should go in the iOS or iPhone forum but here's my problem:
I have a friend at work who was given an iPhone 5 with iOS 7 on it. Apparently it's stuck at the activation lock screen. He asked me for help and asked if I could downgrade it to iOS 6. I told him that it might not be possible because Apple has stopped signing <iOS7 firmwares. I looked up on Google on how to go about the procedure. Apparently, if I would like to do the process, I need SHSH blobs.
Is there a way for me to get them or is there a way for me to downgrade my friend's iPhone 5 back to iOS 6 another way? Possibly DFU mode?
All help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Though I do not condone my friend trying to activate an activation locked iPhone, I would just like to help him.
