iPhone OS 3.1.3 Released - Jailbreakers & Unlockers: Do *NOT* Update!

[lewkskywalker]

Question: am I able to change from 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 eventhough I never had CYDIA and therefore never had my SHSH on file.

If so, can someone send me a link to a blog/tutorial/forum post?

Much appreciated!

You have a 3G? Just restore to 3.12 - although this obviously won't downgrade your BB it will downgrade your FW.
Why do you want to?

[lewkskywalker]

To run a BB downgrade program I found here:

How to Downgrade iPhone Baseband 05.12.01 to 04.26.08

Can anyone confirm it works?

Problem is, when I tried to restore to 3.12 I got the dreaded "sync cable iTunes screen."

What now????

Fuzzy only works with a very few iPhones - did you buy yours the day the 3G came out? If not then the chances of you being able to use Fuzzy to downgrade your BB are almost non existent.
Try running RedSn0w on your phone now to hactivate.

I bought it on eBay... so I am not sure.

What will running RedSn0w do? How do I do it?

redsn0w 0.9.2 [iPhone Dev Team]

redsn0w 0.9.2 [iPhone Dev Team]

How do I get from where I am now (i.e. sync cable/iTunes screen on my iPhone) to a still locked 5.12.1 BB with CYDIA on my iPhone so that I can then try to downgrade?

Thanks!

Also can anyone confirm that this works once you use FUZZY once I get there?

[confucious]

Download, run redsn0w.

I can confirm that the chances of Fuzzy working are very, very slim.

Well actually if you have a pc google search sn0wbrezze and use that it works fine on the 2G for mac PWNAGE tool 3.1.5 Search Dev-team Blog and if you have no idea on how to use it search YouTube for a video and your done!

Can someone help? Can't figure out whether I should or shouldn't be able to jailbreak / unlock. I have a non-jailbroken / locked 3gs on 3.1.2 (I think) with 52 as the 4/5th numbers in the serial and iBoot-359.3.2. When I got it, it was unactivated. Ran blackrain which ran but nothing happened except iTunes recovery. Then tried Redsnow and again nothing happened.

Should I be able to use the current methods or am I a waiter....?

I am somewhat confused - blackRa1n does not unlock a 2G you have to use BootnEuter after to unlock it or just run RedSn0w which does it all for you.
If you just updated you shouldn't lose your unlock, if you restored you just have to run RedSn0w again.

BlackRa1n or RedSn0w should both have worked but you might have to run them twice - running RedSn0w after BlackRa1n on a 3GS can cause problems and I would not recommend using both on the same device. You will have a tethered JB but should be able to run BlackSn0w to unlock - if anything goes wrong you will only be able to restore to 3.13 which you will not be able to unlock.

props to confucious for nearly single-handedly taking care of this thread, answering the questions and assisting those who mistakenly "ungraded." You have far more patience than I.

I had to restore my 3gs and the only way I knew how to do it was to let iTunes update it. Lucky for me I have the old bootrom (whatever that means) and thanks to cydia I had a backup of my shsh. They must have made that idiot-proof because I had no idea I had done it or even what it meant. So eventually I was able to restore to 1.2, but then I had no service so I used pwnagetool to upgrade to 1.3 with jailbreak. So far it works fine.

Okay so i was busy with a new job and writin some rerports for my boss thursay night. pluged my phone in to charge and accidentllyclicked ok on the 3.1.3 os update. Obviously it ****** my phone up and now its stuck in BDU mode, the phone only displays it needs to be connected to itunes. However i still can recieve calls texts and emails. Just cant respond whats going to be my best bet. its a 2g iphone with tmobile and its ulocked and jailbroken. I tried to restore it bt it didntdo anythin.

Yeah but now your bootrom is updated and you wont be able to unlock it, if you stay on ATT you are fine...

As long as you have your 3.1.2 SHSH on Cydia just restore back to there with a hacked 3.1.2 firmware and then unlock it with redsn0w.

[boosted_gsr]

it wont let me back into the phone its in recovery mode. I just did the 3.1.3 update for sn0wbreeze but it didnt work

If it is in recovery mode then when you plug it into a PC and open iTunes it will tell you that you must restore. Hold shift and click restore, browse for a 3.1.2 hacked firmware.

Yeah "lucky" for me I'm locked into a 2-year contract with AT&T so I don't need an unlock. I think you mean that my baseband was updated...that's different from the bootrom right?

Hi,
choosing a 3.1.2 hacked firmware will work only if you have your SHSH on file with Cydia... else, Apple has stopped signing the 3.1.2 firmwares...
