Sorry, but blobs are specific to each device. You can't use blobs from another device. They just won't work.

Hi, I just upgraded to iOS 6 because I forgot my restrictions code and had to restore everything.
Anyways, I haven't saved any shsh blobs but I did back up my iPad to my computer right before I upgraded.
Can I find shsh blobs from this back up?
Please help me!

You already asked this same question in the hacking section and the answer is, unfortunately, still the same, blobs are not stored in your backup in iTunes and you won't be able to downgrade without blobs.

Hi! I also have a question about this. I just recently got an ipad and with my noobass just downloaded the ios 6 version without thinking. Now im finding out there's not a jailbreak yet for this version so I would also (like everyone else probably) downgrade to version 5.1.1. But this doesnt work without the shsh blobs. (Which I obviously dont have cuz I just connected my ipad 3 with ios6 for the first time to my pc today).
Anyway! What my actual question is, (and im afraid I already kinda know the answer) is it possible to downgrade without the blobs? Cuz I stumbled upon a dutch website that says it is.
It says when you download the right ipsw file you can do a restore in itunes and it should downgrade. But Im afraid to do so cuz I dont know if this is a legit method or not.. ?

No. You cannot downgrade without blobs. Ever.

Don't care what anyone tells you (or what you read). As of today, there is no method available to downgrade an iOS without blobs. None.

Heh, if it were only that easy....

I give up trying to downgrade my ipad 2 running 6.0.1 to 5.1.1

Nope you can't get them anymore. Once the blobs were signed off last Sept that was it in getting them.
