How to save your .shsh2 blobs online with TSS Saver
If you want to use futurerestore to restore your Apple devices to unsigned firmwares, you will need to have .shsh2 blobs saved for the firmware you want to restore to.

This guide will go through how to use the online TSS Saver tool to get the .shsh2 blobs you need.
