3G Fuzzyband Downgrader. Downgrade any baseband with a simple click of a button!

**StealthBravo** · 05-10-2009, 12:32 AM

This wonderful GUI Baseband downgrader was created by w1kedZ (coding) & DHowett (GUI). It is based on the exploit in the 5.08 bootloader found by geohot. So yes you must have the 5.08 bootloader for this to work. The beautiful part about this tool is that it will check your bootloader for you.

The way the tool works:

1. It verifies your bootloader version and displays it before attempting to downgrade (won't attempt if bootloader isn't 5.08) so it is much safer than other methods.

2. It detects current baseband version, and the patches accordingly...this means it will downgrade any baseband from 2.30 to 4.26.08 (beta 5)

It is available now on the BigBoss Repo. Look for 3G Fuzzyband Downgrader.

Enjoy!

sweet, but what if apple decides to fix this, now that they have quickpwn they know what to put to make it un-jailbreakable; maybe the devs should have waited until the real 3.0 was released, to release their quickpwn and baseband down-grader.

it doesn't matter. Your bootloader is upgraded as well when installing the 3.0 os. So you won't have 5.08 anyways. Wish someone could just make an unlock for 2.30.00

**StealthBravo** · 05-10-2009, 12:56 AM

^Your bootloader is not upgraded, your baseband is. I am running 3.0 beta 5 with bootloader 5.08. I can downgrade to 2.28 anytime with this tool

will this allow us to go back to 2.2.1?

**eyepoper** · 05-10-2009, 02:19 AM

We are happy to see the downgrader but still sad beacause there are a lot of Bootloaders version 5.09 like me ... still waiting for the solution... If only there was a downgrader for 5.09 boorloader.

We pray and pray...hahhhihi

2.21 is a FW not a BB - you've always been able to downgrade the FW

5.09 was released specifically to close the exploit so I doubt if it will happen - but then geohotz thinks it *might* be possible so who knows...

Does this work on OS 3.0?

You need to downgrade your FW to 2.21 first but it will downgrade the BB from the onme supplied with FW 3.9 - provided, of course, you have BL 5.8

**Nintendo** · 05-10-2009, 06:08 AM

Ohh i have bootloader 06.04 (G2M3S2), was just a test anyway since my phone will be unlocked once my 6 months sub is over.

**Ozzyman500** · 05-10-2009, 06:22 AM

So this will work for anything

**audioteknika** · 05-10-2009, 06:36 AM

Wow ! This works flawlessly !

I downgraded from 04.24.02 (OS3 B3) to 02.28.00 on 2.2.1 !

Kudos to you, time to sell my unlocked iPhone in order to get fund for the next one !

**bigiphoneinreno** · 05-10-2009, 07:14 AM

Great...now if I can just find the file to download and test my baseband.

**nil911** · 05-10-2009, 08:32 AM

yo u cant unlock 2.2.1 version, can you?

**f34r** · 05-10-2009, 08:45 AM

Thanks StealthBravo

Excellent work

**Robby23** · 05-10-2009, 09:17 AM

I'm on 2.2 currently. So in theory could I upgrade to 3.0 beta 5 and still use yellowsnow? How do I know if upgrading my firmware will upgrade my bootloader?

EDIT: NVM I'm on bootloader 5.09.

**Cokeman** · 05-10-2009, 09:23 AM

It was worth a try. My Phone has BL 06.02 & of course came with 2.2.1 so no unlock for me. Not a big deal except when it's time to sell.

Who knows maybe I'll get lucky when I exchange it at the Apple store. Mine has the plastic cracks around the volume & silent switch.

**StealthBravo** · 05-10-2009, 09:43 AM

Sorry 3.0 will not talk to 2.28 where yellowsnow lives.

**lighter** · 05-10-2009, 10:01 AM

Ok just to clear up a few things.... you can not use 3.0 with baseband 2.28.00 it will NOT work!! You do need to downgrade with the directions below!

confirmed working for me downgraded from OS 3 Beta 3 back to 2.2.1 downgraded baseband to 2.28.00 yellowsn0w'd and running =)
