I have a 3GS that was jailbroken I believe on 3.1.2. I accidently upgraded to 3.1.3….is there anyway at all to downgrade to any lower firmware? The phone is now also not activated so I need it activated, unlocked and jailbroken. Please tell me I have not completely screwed myself!

Simon, I have a 2G iPhone, bought jailbroken and unlocked in China. Without doing my research first, I upgraded from 3.0 to 3.1.3. The reason I updated was because Cydia stopped loading. Thankfully, I was able to unlock the phone using redsn0w, and everything works normally EXCEPT Cydia. It opens and loads but then whenever I try to download the apps I had before (Bite SMS, backgrounder, winterboard, proswitcher, etc.) it says “Host Unreachable.” Also, on the main Cydia page, the place where all the icons should be now show up as question marks. Any thoughts? I’d really like to be able to use Cydia again…

@ananad, it's not a custom firmware but the original firmware from Apple. To jailbreak and unlock iPhone 3GS 3.1, you need to use PwnageTool (for Mac).

Sorry for the typo. You should use iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw for iPhone 3G. Try to use Firefox to download the firmware. Some browsers will automatically extract the ipsw file that makes your firmware file not recognized.

Almost two weeks and you haven’t responded to this. Your instructions say that we need iPhone1,2_3.1_7A341_Restore.ipsw for the 3.1 iphone 3g firmware, but your links for this file download iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw instead, which doesn’t work………????

the firmware for 3G 3.1 i read is iPhone1,2_3.1_7A341_Restore.ipsw

instead the file you have for 3G 3.1 is iPhone1,2_3.1_7C144_Restore.ipsw

When trying to use 7C144 it says firmware not recognized. any suggestions?

how do i install zipped iphone 3.0 firmware when i’m trying to downgrade

Everyone.download with firefox or google chrome and it is not a zip file.after the 1015 error close iTunes and open quickpwn 2.2 which u should have downloaded already and follow the steps(hold home and power for 15 seconds then hold power for 2 seconds)then open iTunes again and it will be downgraded and activated.if you want to jailbreak after this use redsnow 0.8.
Also when u downgrade the BenM tethering hack will work again.
