    Default Bootloader question

    Whats the different or advantages to upgrading/downgrading the bootloader? Also, which set of numbers on the serial number lets me know what week my iphone was made. I originally bought it first day but had to return it 3 months later because of speaker problems.

    If the 4th and 5th digits are 45 or higher then you have the new bootloader (4.6)

    No reason change your bootloader.

    Microsoft owns the internet through Hotmail. The .HTML is short for Hotmail, so all .HTML files are MS files.

    well yes but this guy has a genuine 3.9 so software upgrading is currently impossible for him (and hardware is just too risky)
