Tethered Downgrades are downgrades which flash unsigned iOS versions in a way that meets certain iTunes requirements to complete a restore. It is possible to perform a tethered downgrade on any device that is vulnerable to the limera1n Exploit.
Installing a firmware version using this method (without valid SHSH blobs) will result in a permanently tethered jailbreak. Each time the device boots, the bootrom validates the SHSH blobs for LLB, LLB for iBoot, and so on. Therefore, the image validation function must be patched or bypassed with an appropriate bootrom exploit payload on every boot or the device will be forced into DFU mode or recovery mode depending on the method.
Dead LCD Bug
Locking a device with an unsigned bootchain (specifically the LLB) while on battery power causes iOS to disable the LCD. A restore to the latest iOS is needed to fix this.
LCD Incompatibility
Beehind will run the tools to enter pwned DFU and install the 6.1.3 IPSW 2) Make sure the iBBS image is selected (this should have been automatically selected after the previous section completed). 3) Enter the WiFi IP address of your iPhone. 4) Click the 'Enter Pwned DFU Mode' button. With the Arduino Uno and USB Host Shield, you can connect your A5 device (iPod Touch 5, iPad Mini 1, iPhone 4s, iPad 3 or iPad 2) and enter PWNED DFU MODE. This is equivalent to the./ipwndfu -p command that many of you probably know very well. Describe the issue In the last three days I have tried, if calculated maybe almost 97 times. But all in vain, I found a mistake ERROR: Exploit failed. Device did not enter pwned DFU Mode. I hope you see and redesign and make more success.
Some iOS versions (such as iOS 5) cannot boot when the device has a counterfeit display. A workaround is available here.

Purpose
With this method you can install a firmware for which you don't have SHSH saved for. This is handy in the case that you're a software developer and need to do some tests on a specific version or if you prefer older iOS versions.
What Is Iphone Dfu Mode
Alternative
You have to patch a firmware file (IPSW) which is signed by Apple exactly when you want to perform the downgrade.
- Patch out the signature check in iBSS and iBEC and apply another patch to iBEC (some lines of code before the patch the string 'debug-enabled' is loaded into a register and some lines after the patch the string 'development-cert' is loaded. Look at a patched iBEC from an iFaith IPSW for details).
- Patch the boot-args in iBEC to 'rd=md0 amfi=0xff cs_enforcement_disable=1 pio-error=0' and do an iBEC patch that injects the boot-args.
- Patch asr to return 'Image passed signature verification' where it would usually return 'Image failed signature verification'.
- Update the page hashes of asr with ldid.
- Grow the ramdisk to original size + size of asr (better some bytes larger).
- Rename the original asr and add the patched asr.
- chmod asr to 100755
- Replace the root file system dmg with the decrypted root file system dmg of the older firmware you want to downgrade to.
- Enter pwned DFU Mode.
- Use an old iTunes version that allows downgrades on your iOS device and restore to your patched IPSW.
- To start up your device you will have to boot tethered (depending on iOS version redsn0w or opensn0w).
