Now that iOS 7.1 is out, is it possible to restore an already jailbroken phone to 6.0... with iLEX RAT so you can re-jailbreak?

Doesn't that program just restore your device onto it's current OS?

I believe it's main focus is removing Cydia tweaks. It can end up restoring the whole device but leaving the jailbreak state.

It's not possible to downgrade your OS version using that tweak

Sorry, I made a mistake in my first post. I'm not trying to downgrade, I just don't want to upgrade. I'm on 7.0.4 at the moment and would like to restore my phone to factory settings and then re-jailbreak.

Doing it with iTunes will put me on 7.1 which is something I obviously don't want to do.

It'll restore with the jailbreak in place but if any system files are corrupted it won't fix that like a normal restore would be able to do

Cool. All I want is for it to clear all the tweaks and related data as my phone is doing strange things with all the tweaks that have been installed/deleted.

Perfect. :D

Why aren't more people not using it I wonder?

Cause some people (like me) found a good setup and restored their device to iOS 7.0.6 before it stopped being signed and re-setup their device and have not installed anything since to avoid problems.

It's the first time I've ever jailbroken my phone, so that all makes sense now. So you learn...

I used this app to remove all my installed Cydia mods but keep Cydia because the mail apps and Safari were crashing upon opening. Searching Google told me it's due to a jailbreak mod or something. I the reinstalled each mod one by one and haven't had the problem since. Not sure which one was causing the problem but it hasn't come back.
