Method above works. I was just able to do it. I thought I was never going to be able to go back to 2.2.1 but after the 1013 error in itunes I used quickpwn and it finally worked. I never had an problems with the 3.0 betas when it came to downgrading but the 3.0 gm deff wasnt as easy.


Edit; NEVERMIND AFTER MY PHONE WAS DONE JAILBREAKING i NOTICED NOW i HAVE NO SERVICE. ANY SUGGESTIONS OR SHOULD i JUST GO BACK TO 3.0

same thing happened to me mate good luck ive been trying to fix this for the past 4 days

I would recommend going back to 3.0. If you can get the service back go from there. I lost 3G capabilities after messing with the 3.0 and had to downgrade to 2.2.1 in order to get the phone swapped at Apple. Eventually what worked for me was to use that pre release then run quickpwn 2.2.5 or whatever the last official release was for fw 2.2.1 and just opening quickpwn and having it recognize the phone magically made it finally activate and service was back. This was after having the same error when downgrading.

i thought so too but now after reading everyone's problems in trying to downgrade from 3.0GM I do wonder?

It's only a few days now before the official version comes out so I'm quite happy to wait until the Dev Team tell me it's safe.

1 week until quickpwn for 3.0

I do wish they'd change the name though.

Having a folder on my desktop called "Quickpwn" & "Pwnage Tool" has raised a few eyebrows in the past. I then have to explain that these refer to my iPhone - the one called "Smut" is obviously a different matter though!

Pwnagetool for 3.0....

[confucious]

Pornage tool for 3.0?

[iGuy]

That one's in the "Smut" folder already!

[Zwayne]

Stable & custom made ipsw....= Pwnagetool

i have tried pwnage tool to build a custom firmware but when in iTunes and i go to restore, i receive error 1600.

ok try this this is how I downgraded from 3.0 - 2.2.1
1. Uninstall iTunes 8.2
2. Install iTunes 8.1.1
3. shift restore your iphone using official 2.2.1 firmware
4. you will get an error and your phone will get the connect to iTunes screen
5. Hold down power and home button for exactly 15 seconds
6. then hold down power for exactly 2 second.
7. Select a new phone in iTunes.
8. Done back to 2.2.1

i have managed to downgrade to 2.2.1 but then when the iphone is synced in itunes, it says that the sim card is not supported but prior to upgrade it was this is really confusing

[confucious]

What SIM card are you using?
