Hey guys. I'm currently on ios 5.1.1 on my ipad and lately I've been trying to download a few apps that need ios6. What's the easiest way to update my ipad to 6.1.3 and still use a backup of what's currently on my ipad?
Instructions for iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad 3rd generation, iPad 4th generation, iPad mini, or iPod touch 5th generation restoring to iOS 6.x
If you have one of these devices on iOS 6.x, there is currently no way to use SHSH blobs to downgrade it to earlier versions of iOS. You can only restore it to the newest available version of iOS.
(The exception is the iPad 2 - if you have iOS 4.x and 5.x SHSH blobs saved, you can downgrade it from iOS 6.x to 5.x using redsn0w.)
Do you guys know of the status of the 613 jailbreak??
First of all, you can't jailbreak 6.1.3 on your iPad, so if you upgrade, you'll be back on stock iOS. If you are ok with this, then the best way to do it is to do a backup with iTunes, then put your iPad in DFU mode, restore stock iOS 6.1.3, then restore your backup onto that.
