NiLuJe talks about that in the Jailbreak Index:

Fair warning, though: this will *no longer* protect you from automatic updates on FW >= 5.12.x! On those FW versions, slightly more aggressive methods are in various phases of development, check the forums (e.g., https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=327879).
If you're in a position to choose which FW version to update to, *avoid* anything >= 5.12.x, as it has become even more aggressive, preventing you both from (easily) blocking OTA updates, and greatly (potentially fatally) hampering the JailBreak's ability to survive, as well as your recovery options! |
Unfortunately with those firmware versions you're out of luck.
Since now it's possible to jailbreak all the models >= 5.12.x, I'd be surprised if people over the
Block OTA by removing ota related binaries thread wouldn't find a way to make it work for the new versions soon.
Edit: About downgrading, I'm not sure. I've never had to downgrade before.
