[big9erfan]

If you have a 2G you should be able to downgrade, I'm not sure about the 3G ( oops, looks like you can: How to: Downgrade iPhone 3G baseband - 05.11.07 to 04.26.08 | GadgetLite - Latest gadgets and technology news )

before i updated it it was jailbroken and on the 3.0 . iv just noticed the restore button on itunes and was wondering if i hit restore will it go back to how it was ?


i was about to try the jailbreak but iv seen this bit " WARNING: Even though the GeoHot jailbreak supports 3.1.2 do not update if you are on iPhone OS 3.0.1 or 3.0. You will lose your unlock."

iv no idea if im OS 3.0.1 or 3.0 and if i am do i need to worry about it ?

 

[big9erfan]

The post specifically says that if you're on 3.1 you cannot unlock, that it works for phones on 3.0 and get a special update to 3.1. This "special" update ( pwnage tool ) creates a 3.1.2 firmware without the baseband update. That's what it's going to tell you to do.

cheers for your help and patients . when it says i would lose unlock its talking about being aball to use different networks ? yes ? i use o2 so this wont afflict me . have i got that correct ? cheers d

 

[big9erfan]

Correct, unlocking is making it so that you can take the iPhone to different networks. I'm not sure what network has the iPhone in the UK, but if you bought it from o2, then you don't need to worry about unlocking.

 

[TOASTIE]

nice one . right then il have a go at it . wish me luck im goin in

 

[TOASTIE]

if got it in . now can i still use itumes as well as cydia or is it instead of ? cheers d

 

[big9erfan]

Yes, you can still use the App store as well as Cydia for installing iPhone applications. You just the Apple App Store for normal apps and Cydia for apps that Apple will not approve.

 

[TOASTIE]

cheers mate . iv got to sus this cydia out now . its say i need some up dates . i ges i should say yes to them . what do you think ?

so do i need a cydia on my desk top like itones ?

 

[big9erfan]

Yes update Cydia, no it doesn't go on your desktop, just on the iPhone.
