    Thanks

  • @arifshah257 Thanks, its updated now.

  • Is it possible to downgrade from 3.1.3 to 2.0.2 without jailbreaking the device???

  • You might be able to downgrade in case of Ipod . But not possible for IPhone.s

  • Hey...!!! Someone can tell me if this still works...? cus i accidentally updated my Ipod T. 1G to 3.0 and i want to downgraded cus the 3.0 is too slow... Dx... Makes my ipod slower... So... Someone can tell me if i can do this with Itunes 9 and still downgrading my ipod...? Dx...

  • just did this with my 1st gen ipod touch downgrading from version 3.1.3 to 2.2.1 worked like a charm and I didn't get the error in iTunes and didn't need to use QuickPwn at the end.

  • oh and also i used itunes 9

  • Can u downgrade 3.1.3 to 3.1.2 because can't jailbreak 3.1.3 but can jailbreak 3.1.2 plez help

  • i have a iphone 3gs that is at 3.1.3 and i want to downgrade so i can jailbreak it but itunes wont let it happen not even the 3.1.2 or any other ones, if you have any sugestions plz message me

  • can i downgrade 3.0.3 to 2.0.2

  • where can i download the firmware 2.0.2 for my ipod touch ??

  • All u need is in written the description on right side. Please make sure to read all the details.

  • i agree black rain is the fastest way to jail break ipod with 3.1.2 all you have to do it click one bottom and it does it all in 2 min that it your down

  • Worked!!! Apple wont let you because 1g hardware has a conflict with 3.1.2. Volume slider problem[even with the headphone plugged in!] Apple won't tell you that. Ipod is useless with no volume control. Good Job! I can use my paid for ipod now!

  • yes my baseband is 4.26.08 so i'm fucked, is that what you'r telling me, there is nothing i can do to keep my phone if i downgrade it , thanks man

  • Nope you are not fu****. Please note that there is no need at all to downgrade to 2.2.1 because every application and game being made today in cydia and installous for 3.0 and up firmwares. So it's totally useless to downgrade. We should always keep ourselves updted. And at present 3.1.2 firmware is out. So I would recommend to go and upgrade yourself to 3.1.2 and then jailbreak & unlock it with Blackrain. Blackrain is the easiest jailbreak and unlock ever that takes 30 sec to make it happen.

  • I have a 3G iphone with 3.0 firmware and 5.09 bootloader (t-mobile) i would like to downgrade to 2.2.1 , it's that posible?

  • It all depends on your baseband. If u have a 02:11 baseband then u can do it. But if your baseband is 4.26.08 then u can only downgrade it but u will not be able to unlock. Details are written in description.

  • why whould I do that? I am very happy with the 3.0 software.

  • well with 2.2.1 firmware allows you to untethered your jailbreak

  • yo, thanks a million for the vid. very helpful. Why does apple make it such a pain in the ass to downgrade? Quick question, I never got the error message, my ipod touch (1g) just went to the home screen. Is that normal? thanks again -connor

  • @TheJamaican98 Thats correct friend. Only iPhones will get that error. No iPod touches will get any error. And Apple made it difficult so that people could stay with new firmware. Since 90% applications and games being developed these days are only compatible with new firmware. Not old firmware anymore.

  • Yes !!!! i unlocked my iphone , i used unlock-iphone org , it was really easy and it worked greate

  • DOWNGRADE~? then my iphone 2g have service~?

  • Iphone 2g are the best iphones ever made. They will always have service even if you downgrade them.

  • wackman25 winpwn and quickpwn are 2 different softwares so he's not a retard you're just dumb, ok!

  • When I try to restore in iTunes with the 2.02 firmware for my 1st generation ipod touch

    it gets stuck on "waiting for ipod" so would it be my ipod? any ideas?

  • Pls read the description all the way at bottom. That is for 2nd gen iPod but will also work on Your 1st gen iPod. Read it again if you don't get it first time. Then you will get it. That is a shortcut method. Feel free to ask.

  • hey, everytime i try restoring my iphone 3g because it doesnt work, it gives me an error (28) and cant restore, can anyone helpp me with a solution. thanks

  • when i tried to do this with 8.1, it said 8.1 itunes is not compatible with my ipod

    does that mean i should go through this whole thing on 8.2.1 instead of doing the shift+restore shortcut?

  • never mind i got it to work

    thanks this saved me after about 5 straight hours of research/working on this

  • my iPhone 3g (16GB) running 3.0 firmware, has now stuck itself in Restore mode, DFU mode doesnt work and i get error messsage 28 when trying to restore.

    What can i do

  • Left you a message in your inbox. Please check.

  • my status bar does not go "all the way to the right"

    help!

  • Please try again with 2.2 firmware. Also read description for more help.

  • i started over and inserted 2.2 firmware did not work.

    what do you mean "open" quickpwn?

    just open it and leave it while itunes is restoring?

  • Please check your inbox. Left you a message.

  • ur a retard. he said winpwn in the begining and quickpwn at the end... so stupid

  • i have the same problem. -.-

    HELP ME PLEASE!

  • im going to go ahead an downgrade to 3.0 then do it your way, then il let you know if it works

  • is there a way to downgrade from 3.1.2 to 2.2.1

  • Honestly I haven't tried it downgrading from 3.1.2 to 2.2.1. I am assuming it will not work. But try it. Let me know. Also read the description on right side of the video. You will find everything there. And since you are at 3.2.1 with 5.11.07 baseband so after downgrading u will only be able to use AT&T sim not Tmobile. Details are written in decription. Also please know that it's not that useful to downgrade now because All applications currently are based to work with 3.x FW. Not with 2.2.1

  • @MrxHxisxGoldx

    Put your iPod/iPhone in DFU Mode and downgrade it to 3.0 Firmware using iTunes.

    It worked for me. (Mac Os X 10.6, iTunes 9)

  • wow thx for your fast answer!! i tried it again with redsnow and this time it was successful! ive no idea why because i did everything exactly like the last time.. no matter!!!

    thanx a lot again i find no words to discribe how lucky u made me!

  • ... i also tried to do it with redsnow 7.1.. there i got to the whitescreen but when i tried to restore fw 2.2.1 with shift+click it started but there was no apple logo and status bar.. after a few minutes the only thing which happened was that itunes showed an error(i dont remember which one but it wasnt 13xx but something like 160x ). then the whitescreen stayed and i had to restore the 3.0 fw..

    please HELP!

    additional note: i used firefox to download winpwn but it found the 2.0.2 fw!

  • Allright friend if you have an iPod 2g then I have written instructions for it in the descripion. Please read all the way towards end. You will be using Redsnow. Just read and follow it correctly. Feel free to ask.

  • Allright friend, Currently it's not working for you. I promise I am going to make it happen. I cannot explain u in detail since I am at work right now. I will be online in 12 hours from now. If you are available online u can meet me there. My yahoo and aol ID is emac2299

  • hi dude. at first ive to say its great how much time u invest to help other people with their problems!!

    i think ive read all the comments but i didnt find an answer to my question:

    i dont get to the whitescreen because of the "im sorry but something seems to have gone wrong" problem. i SWEAR i followed all the instructions step by step.. i downloaded fw 2.0.2, i uses winpwn 2.5beta, i switched the usb ports and i tried it for 5 times.

    ive a itouch 2g fw 3.0

    thx 4 ur answer &sry 4 my bad english

  • i tried it but it froze

  • well you helped me a little bit so thank you for that. I had updated my firmware to 3.1.2 but before I had an jailbroken 2.2.1 but I still had the custom firmware so I just put it in DFU mode using quickfreedom (a good program) 1.2.0 it prejailbroke it then I just held shift n selected the custom firmware and it worked.

  • I get unknown error 28, will this method work for me to get out of the recovery screen. Cuz cant restore my iphone whatsoever. at a normal way.

    gr

  • Put iPhone in DFU mode meaning HOld home and power button together for 10 seconds then just release power button but keep holding home button for another 10 seconds . Now you will see your itunes will detect your iphone in recovery mode and your iphone screen should be totally black . Press ok and press Restore . After restoring Jailbreak and Unlock with new 'Blackrain' jailbreak method. Video is available on my channel. Blackrain jailbreaks and Unlocks on 3.1 & 3.1.2.

  • Hey TurkUlkucu!! did this work for your error 28?? same problem here!!

  • no it didnt, :(

  • Im sorry if this has been posted ....but is there any where i can get a old copy of the face book app of if there's a way to make the new one work with 2.2.1 ....................thx for any help and again im sorry if this was posted already

  • when its creating the custom firmware it just closes why is this??

  • Please make sure to check ATT as your carrier when you run winpwn, even though you have some other network.

  • Please note that Redsnow only supports 3.0 firmware file. That's why it is saying that message. I don't have 3.0 file for iPod touch in description. Please take it from my other video on my channel.

  • 2.0.2 firmware for Ipod Touch 2nd gen does not exist. It was never developed. If you have an Ipod 2nd gen so please follow the instructions at the end of the written description. You dont have to follow this video anymore. Just follow that what is written at the end of the descrption and you will be all set.

  • If you want to downgrade an iPod touch 2g then no need to follow this video. You can follow the instructions written in the description at the end.

    Now about downloading firmware. So you have to use Interet Explorer to download my firmware files and you will get it in Ipsw format. Not in winrar.

  • i did it finaly, i spent days on internet but finaly i made it , i unlocked my iphone using unlock-iphone . org , worked greate i recommand

  • You can do all this on iTunes 8.2.1. No need of iTunes 8.1.0. And you don't need iTunes in beginning. Just open winpwn in beginning. Everything u need is in written description.

  • i like ur video thanks

  • hi do u know how to get games for i pod touch 1 gen

  • Hi.. I replaced the glass of my iPhone but after that procedure, a software restore was needed but I'm receiving Unknown error (28) all the time when I do that. An apple discussions forum suggests your video, which I'm following exactly but after having the apple logo and the status bar: all the bar gets full to the right, but then nothing happens and the iTunes says all the time: Waiting to the iPhone. When I disconnect the iPhone I receive unknown error (9), but I can't go further. Please Help

  • since the baseband is the same when you downgrade cant we still use ultrasn0w?

  • Ultrasnow requires 3.0 or higher firmwares to work on. If you have downgraded to 2.2.1 and baseband is 4.26.08 then you cannot use ultrasnow. Details are on the top of the description.

  • tnx bro..

    Works flawless..

    very clear instruction.

  • Can you use itunes 9 to dot his

  • can you please upload a winpwn for mac? and im from Denmark so can i use: Telia. because i dont know if its the sam ass t-mobile

  • reallly nice!!! the white screen works really great for me thank you very much i tought i would get stuck with 3.1 for ever :D

  • Very welcome !!

  • Can You Do It If YouR Bootloader Is 5.09

  • if i downgrade from 3.0 or 3.01 will this al downgrade my baseband??

    Please help!!!

    Thanks

  • NOpe Sorry Friend, Downgrading Firmwares can never Downgrade baseband. Basebands can only be downgraded if you have 5.08 bootloader in your Iphone. TO check what bootloader you have you have to download "Fuzzyband" from Cydia which will tell you where you stand,

  • will it work for 3.1.1 ? ipod touch 2nd gen ? sorry for so many questions ..

  • Will this work if im going from 3.0.1 and im using an ipod touch 2nd gen ?

  • For Ipod 2nd gen you dont have to follow this video. I have the solution to it in the description at the end. Please read. And you will get it.

  • iv been trying to get this for like ever and i keep getting The error #20

  • what do you open itunes 8.1.0 with its says its not a current win32 thing??? HELP

  • Allright, Now you can do this by having Itunes 8.2.1 in your computer. No need to Uninstall Itunes 8.1.0. Then simply follow the video and you will be all set.

  • ok so this will completly delete 3.1 on my ipod touch 1g?

  • If u want to get rid of 3.1 from your iPod touch then no need to follow this video. Simply put it in dfu mode and downgraded. U can see instrucions in my 3.1 video on my channel.

  • You are the GREATEST!!!! I've been trying to downgrade for a week. Thank you so much!!!!!!

  • hi. i had the same problem when i wanted to restore with itunes. i got some error 1015. after i accidently upgraded to 3.1 via itunes.. but now i made it with redsnow to jailbreak it. now im on firmware 3.0 but i have NO SERVICE. can i fix this problem with this method ?

  • If u are coming down from 3.1 to 3.0 then you will not have service at all. This goes for both AT&T and Tmobile. For AT&T issue is different because of Apple Lock on firmware. But for Tmobile the reason is when u upgraded to 3.1 then it changed your baseband to 5.11.07. This cannot be unlocked by ultrasnow. Now even if u downgrade to 3.0 even then baseband will remain same. Now your phone can only be used with official sim like AT&T going back to 3.1.

  • okay. so now i have to wait until the jailbreak for the 3.1 version is available or what? i dont have a AT&T sim card. im from austria/europe. so there is no way to use the phone at all?

  • Hi nice video. Quick question, will this work version 3.1 (M/F 05.11.07)

  • Sorry friend. This is not going to work for 3.1 firmware. If u r at 3.1 then there is no way going back. Even if u downgrade somehow even then you will not get your service back. Iphone will say no service.

  • thanx man you are the BEST!

  • You r welcome

  • can it be 8.1 or lower?

  • Yu can try if it works.

  • This video is really good thanks for the directions for the iPod Touch 2G in the description it was really helpful and it took only like 2 mins! Thanks man you're the best :D

  • everything worked fine but i have a message saying that i cannot make/receive calls n i dont have wifi so i cant go into cydia to fix with fuzzyband cant u help

  • Hey..Everything was working just fine until it got down to quickpwn, once I follow the directions when I open up quickpwn, it stops responding...Help Please and thanks

  • No worries friend, Just watch this video on my channel for your answer "Yes, Quickpwn works with latest update of Itunes..."

  • It worked, now i just need to know where to get the 5.8 bootloader then I think I'll be good

  • Bootloader is a thing that we cannot alter. It comes installed from the factory. We can only change basebands depending on what bootloaders we have on our Iphones. If you want to know your bootloader on your Iphone, you can watch my latest video "downgrade baseband 5.11.07 to 4.26.08"

  • dose this work for iphone 3Gs ?

  • Nope. Sorry friend it doesn not.

  • I have a question. When the 2.2.1 version was out I jailbroke my phone and I was wondering on what i have to do to restore it and then upgrade to the newest update so I could get MMS? Also i bought a brand new laptop and i havent hooked up my phone to this yet so i was wondering if I need to download a 2.2.1 firmware for itunes or does itunes have a option on to what version you can restore you phone to like 2.2.1. So if you could answer my questions or give me a link to a youtube video. Thank u

  • i Jailbroke my iphone ages ago with quickpwn and my iphone version was 2.2.1 and i upgraded it to 3.0.1 and now lost every thing and now its 3.1 will i be able to downgrade to 2.1.1 with my iphone unjailbroken

  • If u r currently on 3.1 then downgrading is not going to work. Even if u downgrade then u will not be able to use your iPhone as a phone. This does not apply for iPhone 2g. So now u can stay at 3.1 and some YouTube users have made a video on custom firmware for 3.1 that let's u have cydia on your iPhone. U can try that but it's still UnOfficial on windows. But if u have a mac computer then yes u can jailbreak 3.1 easily. So eventually there is no way back. Windows jailbreak is coming soon.

  • thax but i just wished jailbreaking was easy like it was a year ago by useing quickpwn i think apple r trying to stop it with all these updates. im running windows so when the jailbreak comes out for 3.1 by suarik would u be able to inform me about it so i can once have a jailbeoken iphone

  • Sure I will keep u updated.

  • Comment removed

  • Please read the description before writing a comment. Thanku.

  • does it work with 3g s?. i can't get to install 3.0.1 on a 3G S. it says build not eligible in itunes??

  • If u want to install 3.0.1 on your iPhone 3gS simply put it in DFU mode and locate 3.0.1 file. And done.

  • ok boys nd girls lmao. And thank you so much. I want my jailbreak back and i had 3.0. Dude i thank u so much :)

  • You are welcome. I am glad that the video helped. But I don't see anything funny with my words "boys and girls".

  • just something ive never heard anyone really say. Dont take this in a mean way but ur voice sounds weird to me because im american. And it just sounded funny sorry if that sounded mean lol xD

  • So u are saying that this is American Culture to make fun of people. Wow! What a culture.

  • no no no no not at all just thought it sounded funny. I promise i wasnt being mean. But your voice does sound cool

  • Awesome Awesome thank you thank you A+++ :))

  • Very welcome.

  • I made it!! Itunes working great, i can call and send/recive SMS but with Turbo card =p

  • your posts and descriptions helped ALOT.. best guide on youtube!!!! congrats

  • omg after looking at so many redundant useless guides, i find this!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • You r welcome.

  • Hi Emac.. Very good job in this video am trying to downgrade my 3g i saw the video more than 10 times and i am ready for doing it, i have all that i need for it but my problem is that i do not have AT&T or T-mobile SIM cards, i live in cyprus using VODAFONE, no chance this guide going to work for me man? if not what you suggest me to do? thank you

  • Allright, if vodafone is an official sim card for iPhone in Cyprus then it's going to work. Just follow the steps. But If u have an unofficial sim then this way you will only be able to downgrade to 2.2.1 but cannot unlock it. Then u Have to install 3.0 firmware and then unlock it by ultrasnow. Make sure please to read all description on right.

  • can anyone help me wht should i do?

  • I download itunes 8.1. after that when i plug my iphone it says you need to download 8.2 for the iphone.

  • Please do this by using iTunes 8.2.1. No need of iTunes 8.1 anymore. And you don't need iTunes in beginning of process. You need winpwn to start. Please make sure to read the description. Thanku.

  • thanks , perfect smooh process

  • This method is the best. Thank you. :)

  • perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it never builds the whole custom file it just goes away

  • Please make sure that you have your 2.0.2 file and secondly, Please select AT&T as your Network in the beginning of the process.

  • Hi emac2299.

    was folowing step by step on how to Downg.. the Iphone, everthing was going well, till I get this: iphone1.2_2.0.2_5c1_restore.ip­sw

    can you please tell me how to fix this File ?

    thanks.

  • EMac, I just had a thought, if I use someone elses AT&T sim to do your downgrade, will it hurt or effect their sim?

  • Sim will not have any effect.

  • i have itouch first generation and this worked before i received an error message at 6:56. I never got the error message. Itunes finished restoring and i looked in settings and would you know it: 2.2.1 firmware installed ! :) thanks emac!

  • That's problem, I do have Tmobile not AT&T....Do you have a video on how to unlock a iphone 3G 3.0.1 with no AT&T sim, the phone is restored by 8.2 itunes and all the screen has is emergency use only or connect to itunes. I'm stuck. I do have an active tmobile sim if I can get it unlocked. Thank you for the quick replies.

  • If u have Tmobile then u cannot downgrade it to 2.2.1. You can know why. The answer is written on top of But now if u have emergency screen then u can put your iPhone in dfu mode then go to iTunes and press shift +restore and locate 3.0 file. Then u will get same emergency screen. At this point close iTunes and open Redsnow 0.8 and this will hactivate your phone and open it in normal mode. Then put in ultrasnow source in cydia and u will get Tmobile service again.

  • So because I updated my iphone to 3.0.1 using itunes I won't be able to go back to 2.2.1 using your procedure, right?

  • Allright. Let me make it simple for you. If u have 3.0.1 on your iPhone currently then YES you can use this method to go back to 2.2.1. No matter if u if installed it from iTunes or not. But if u cuurently have 3.0.1 then go ahead follow the video correctly. Make sure you have AT&T not Tmobile.

  • Will this work with 3.0.1 to go back to 2.2.1

    Thanks, Rick

  • Yes it will. Feel free to ask any question. ANd please read full description on right. You will have no issues then. ANd you can go ahead do this now with your Itunes 8.2.1

  • Comment removed

  • Got it work! What was throwing me off was that you say if tha status bar does not go all the way through to start over again. So I was and it would never go all the way. I tried opening quickpwn and there it was. Thanks
