BigBoss Downgrade Apps on Installer

[Murfunit]

Ok.. First a disclaimer: I don't need to downgrade a phone personally. Mine are all on AT&T at the moment and work just peachy with whatever software version I put on there. I'm asking a question or 3 for information purposes, so that I can better explain to someone else what can and can't be done

That said, I have the BigBoss installer source set up on my phone and noticed this afternoon several apps designed (I assume) to downgrade the baseband from 1.1.2 -> 1.0.2 and another from 1.1.1 -> 1.0.2. being the curious sort that I am I installed the 1.1.2 -? 1.0.2 version on my own phone to see how (if) it worked.

The install went fine. But when I restarted the phone there was no icon for the app. I checked in Finder (on the phone) to see if it was put in the hidden section but all thats there is what I put there.

Is this normal? Is this an app - like OkToPrep - that only sets up your phone to be downgraded? And if so what steps come next (Please don't point me to the downgrade threads - I know all about those. I'm looking to see if theres something more - like with the early jailbreak via OkToPrep threads)

I looked at the "More Info' link on the phone but it gives (me) a blank page. Anyone have a link to the BigBoss site (if there is one)?

it's perfectly normal. What is installed is Secpacks and baseband downgrader command line applications. install vt100, run it, type 'cd /usr/bin', and type 'bbupdater' - IF running it is what you want to do?

Hope this helps,

Yes it does. It explains it perfectly. They're not apps so much as command libraries

Thanks much
