Downgrade ipad from 7 to 6?

Firstly is it possible?

Secondly, how to do it?

Can I just find .ipsw file and restore ipad?

Apple aren't signing any iOS 6 ipsw, so you can't downgrade from iOS 7 currently.

Pain!

I found ipsw's here it started to restore the ipad then I got this message:

Error 3194 or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

I'm sure it can be done. You have to download the old ISPW...

Thanks but step 3.... where do you get 'SHSH blobs' from?

You would have needed to save the SHSH blobs from your previously jailbroken iOS6 installation before upgrading. As Nymins says, Apple aren't signing iOS6 installations any more so you're SOL for what you want.

Should be there somewhere, is your Ipad a newer one? It may not work, I think this is for the Ipad 3 and lower.
