Important notice
In this video easy method for iOS 10 → iOS 8 part is shown, not the safest one! The best (most intuitive) downgrade to iOS 8 for iPhone 5 and iPad 4 is available here (Mac only):

Alternatively, try this (Mac or Linux only):

Also, if you have iPhone 4S or iPad 2 you don't need dual boot iOS 6 at all, you can install REAL iOS 6 using https://github.com/LukeZGD/Legacy-iOS... (Mac or Linux only)

This video is for iPad 4 or iPhone 5. However, iOS 6 installation method may work with other devices too – CoolBooter supports iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad 2, iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Mini 1G, and iPod Touch 5G:

Important: if your device can’t update to iOS 10 to go back to iOS 8.4.1 (the only version with EtasonJB jailbreak), you will need another way to have untethered (!) jailbreak on your version (that being said, iOS 9.1 and up don’t have untethered jailbreak). Also note, jailbreak from Pangu may not work with CoolBooter:

WeatherIcon 6 is not available in any repository unfortunately (can't find it anywhere), but you can install tweak's files manually with iFile: https://drive.google.com/drive/folder...
I extracted it from my iPhone 5 and installing files manually works just fine
