What is Custom Firmware?

From here you should be smart enough to follow the steps (IF YOU ARE A NOOB AT MAKING IPSW'S PICK SIMPLE MODE)

Ya but People still don't know how to use google and still ask, I get a lot of messages asking how to do it

WTF, this just jailbreaks the IPSW which you then restore your Device w/ the jailbroken IPSW!! hahaha, making your own IPSW will take more than this, it'll take ALOT of coding and TIME to make an IPSW!

I said it creates custom firmware for you, I didn't say you could make a IPSW
