iSHSHit allows you to backup your SHSH blobs from Apple directly on your iDevice for later downgrading.




iFaith is a program that can save the SHSH blobs of the current version of iOS that's running on your jailbroken iPhone. It will work any version of iOS, whether or not that version is still signed by Apple.



With AptBackup, you can backup the Cydia apps on your jailbroken iOS device. After you restore your iPhone in iTunes, redownload AptBackup, and it will redownload all of your other Cydia apps.
