Hey I am currently running 3.1 and I am planning to downgrade because alot of the cydia apps run only 3.0 not 3.1. For example the gameboy emulator will just quit out wen I click on the ROM (the game). So do you think it will fix that problem and what are the exact steps to put your iPhone into recovery mode ?? I’m a little bit confused on that. Thanks for all of your help.

I Finally got it jailbroken and downgraded to 3.0, Follow the above steps and ensure you do it in Windows XP and Itunes 9 or 8.2 just make sure its XP.

Now the only thing is i aint sure its unlocked or not coz the network isnt showing.

Everyone.simons way won’t work.first put ur phone into dfu mode not recoverymode by powering off, hold home and power for 10 seconds then let go of power BUT keep holding home until you’re computer makes a beep like it does when you put a USB in and the screen goes completely black.no logo or anything then you’re in dfu mode. Follow the steps till you get the error 1015 thenuse quickpwn2.2 or 22-1 like I told you above then open iTunes again and that’s it.

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.

The only downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0 that works is from http://www.redmondpie.com
http://www.redmondpie.com/downgrade-iphone-3.1-to-3.0.1/
Unfortunately the site has been suspended.

So here are the steps for iPhone 3G:
1. Backup your details in iPhone using iTune
2. Press Shift/Option Key and Restore to 3.0.1
3. After Restore, iPhone will be in Recovery Mode
a. Use QuickPwn 2.2-1 and use the 3.0 IPSW
b. QuickPwn will show an error
c. End QuickPwn and turn on iTunes, phone should be unlocked
4. Use Redsn0w and Jailbreak iPhone 3G to 3.0.1
5. Use iTunes to recover backup

Hope this helps!
