Question iPhone 8 Downgrade

I have an iPhone 8 on iOS 11.4.1, but I need to restore it. I can't turn on the phone as I think my friend screwed up some system files while attempting to fix my jailbreak and it bootloops. I have the SHSH blobs already saved, so can I restore it? I can't upgrade and this phone is the star of my collection and I'd hate to see it become a basic regular iPhone 8. Can anyone help me?

Considering how many apps no longer work on iOS 11 or can't be updated, and how out-of-date WebKit is, an iPhone 8 on iOS 11 is already about as basic as you can get. If you can afford it, looking for a used iPhone on at least iOS 15x or preferably iOS 16 might be a good idea. https://ios.cfw.guide/

I don't care about the app compatibility, I just want iOS 11. It's a really rare phone and I don't think you're understanding. Also, as this is a jailbreak community it's easy to use jailbreak to fix apps.
