iFaith which is an excellent alternate to TinyUmbrella has been updated to version 1.4 which now allows you to save SHSH blobs of iOS 5.0.x firmware if it is currently running on your iOS device, even if Apple has stopped signing it.
If you are new to this, iFaith is a utility not only provides an option to Save SHSH blobs but also produce signed IPSW. Developer behind its development is iH8sn0w has given an option to the users to save SHSH blobs even after Apple has stopped signing your current firmware. Moreover, the best part is that iFaith dumps the SHSH blobs physically on your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

The edge that iFaith has over TinyUmbrella [already covered] is that if Apple has stopped signing your firmware even then you can have your older blobs saved e.g. Apple is only signing iOS 4.3.5 and if your device is on 4.1 then you can only sign 4.3.5 from Apple but iFaith lets you sign even 4.2.1 and store its SHSH blobs.
Your SHSH blobs are saved which can be used to downgrade your firmware in future. If you are planning to downgrade you might like to see TinyUmbrella, SnowBreeze, PwnageTool, Redsn0w or JailbreakMe.
