- It's possible[1] Apple may still be signing 4.2.6, so try running TinyUmbrella and see if you can save your SHSH.
[1] They're still signing 4.3.1, at least: Twitter / iH8sn0w: @Mleatherb I tried today, ...04-17-2011 05:15 PMLike 0 - Just verified I was able to save mine:

Just wanted to share that I was able to downgrade from 4.2.7 to 4.2.6 via itunes (I downloaded the 4.2.6 firmware, and pressed alt-restore in itunes). I then used greenpois0n rc6.1 to jailbreak, and I'm back running cydia etc.
Of note, I did NOT have to save any blobs or whatever. I simply did a restore of the old firmware. Hope that helps.shimojunk likes this.04-18-2011 04:34 PMLike 1 - Hi everyone,

I went to the site that was mentioned and all i saw was a bunch of links to other sites. Sorry for asking noob questions.04-19-2011 05:13 AMLike 0
- In iTunes. Click your iPhone, there should be an update button and a restore button.
Shift click restore and point to your ipsw.
Enter DFU mode on the phone first.04-19-2011 05:46 AMLike 0 - Steps to downgrade from 4.2.7 to 4.2.6.
Step 1: Make sure you have your SHSH blobs saved. A way to check this is to download TinyUmbrella, connect your iPhone to your computer, and then once it recognizes your phone, click Save SHSH blobs. It will then verify if you have them saved in the log description.
Step 2: Download the 4.2.6 ipsw file. There are links all over if you just search Google.
Step 3: Open iTunes and put your phone in DFU mode. Then, hold down the shift key and press restore (hold down alt key for Mac users). Then find where you have your firmware saved and select 4.2.6. iTunes will then ask you to press restore.
Step 4: iTunes will restore 4.2.6 on your phone, and here is where you might get the 1013 error, which makes your phone stuck in recovery mode.
Step 5: Download Greenpoison rc6.1. Put your phone back in DFU mode and then run Greenpoison to jailbreak your phone.
After greenpoison does its thing, your phone should boot back up with 4.2.6 installed and you will be jailbroken.04-20-2011 12:48 PMLike 0 - You can safely downgrade now because Apple are still signing the firmwares.
Once they stop that, you won't be able to downgrade unless you save your blobs.04-20-2011 04:41 PMLike 0 -
I downloaded the appropriate 4.2.6 firmware, held down the home and sleep buttons until the itunes + usb picture appeared on my iphone 4 and then clicked on the appropriate 4.2.6 firmware file that I downloaded previously.
I tried to do the restore, and it got hung up one "verifying restore with Apple", then it errored out, saying, "unknown error occurred, 3194"
This just starting happening today, I have had to restore my iphone 4 a few times in the past few days and it has worked perfectly each time. Did apple or itunes do something so this wont work anymore. Is there a fix?04-21-2011 03:03 PMLike 0 - I think they just stopped, I used to be able to download and as of today when I needed to once again, its not working anymore.

I even tried on a mac and pc and still had the problem.
I tried these steps also, posted a little earlier in the thread:
