So, I picked up a used iphone 3g and it has 4.1 installed on it. I am hoping someone can tell me what the best tools are to downgrade to 3.1.3 and a bit of instruction as well. I have used redsn0w in the past and want to make sure this will work since I don't have SHSH saved since it is a used iphone. I don't really need the unlock so I'm not worried about the baseband. Any help you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated Thanks ahead of time.
Download 3.1.3 fw and put your iphone into dfu mode
Run itunes and shift + restore to 3.1.3 ipsw
Exit recovery from the feature of Tiny umbrella.
Now you are at 3.1.3 fw .
