  • O yeah and i did this on my ipod to it works...

  • Thanks great video, this is probably the only video that helped me out of all the videos i have watched...........

  • Great video bro works like a charm.

  • Great video mate. Most legit out there. dunno why you only have a 4.5 star rating. 5 star definatley!!!!

  • Thank you, I appreciate it.

  • I AM SO MAD... well not really, every time I click shift and then hold it and press restore it says: RESTORE AND UPDATE

    WHaT SHould i do??????HHEELLLP!!

  • Try it on another computer. The shift key and click always works. Maybe there is something wrong on your pc. Best of luck.

  • thaks man

  • You're welcome, I'm glad it helped out.

  • does this work with an itouch 2nd gen? i tried doing exactly what is said in this video and nothing seemed to happen after i got to the part where it asks if you want to restore your backup files to the itouch and i clicked yes..is this why it is not working? I did not recieve the error message nor anything else after i clicked 'restore backup files'

    thanks,

    mastermmm222

  • Yes this will work but you have to search on google for the correct firmware that goes with your device. If you do not use the right firmware this will not work. Best of luck.

  • where did you download the firmware?

  • The link to the post on my website is in the more information box.

  • i dont hv iPhone 3G to firmware 2.1 files

    then how to do .

    reply fast pls , thanks

  • thanks bro..very very helpfull

  • You're welcome, Thanks for your comment.

  • Bro this vid helped out a lot. I had recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to firmware 3.1 beta and my phone was all messed up. I used the same process you used to downgrade and it worked.

    Thanks

  • I'm glad it worked for you, I appreciate your comment. I have not been able to reproduce a successful downgrade from 3.0 to 2.2.1. Take care.

  • does it downgrade a baseband (firmware modem)also?

  • No it does not downgrade the baseband. Only the firmware is downgraded.

  • Hi, which version of itunes were you using in this video? because i have 8 and it wont let me choose a firmware, only restore 2.2.1.

  • You can use the latest itunes to do this. This will work to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1. If you follow the instructions you will be able to do it without any problems.

  • Comment removed

  • Can't tell you since there is currently no way to downgrade the baseband. Search google from time to time to see if someone comes out with a fix.

  • will i loose all my saved data songs and everything when i downgrade

  • yes but just sync them back on from you mac

    or PC

  • Yes anytime you downgrade your firmware you erase all the stuff on the iphone

  • hey i did excactly what you did but at the end of the setup itunes popped up and said sim card inserted in this iphone does not appear to be supported

  • hey my iphone's wifi is not connecting and when i try to connect it says unable to join soo i heard from a few ppl that downgrading from 2.2.1 to 2.2 will solve this problem. will it solve it? if you can reply to this thank you very much

  • I would first try to power cycle the wireless router that you are using. Then if you continue to have the problem then you can try to downgrade the firmware.

    I have had several issues with the 2.2.1 version. Hopefully they will be fixed with version 3.0. Let me know how it goes. Best of luck.

  • unknown error 1604 tried to get it on 3.0 beta 4

    please help

    :(

  • Sorry I can't really help since I have not tried installing that beta version. I would recommend to try it on another computer possibly a windows xp machine. Best of luck.

  • Comment removed

  • hey the only problem im havin is when i hold shift in order to c wat firmware i wanna use the window doesnt come up it just goes rite to update and restore plz help

  • If you are using windows, press and hold down the shift key and while you hold down that key, click on update in itunes. It has to work. Let me know.

  • An unknown error occurred (1403).

  • is there any way to jailbreak the 2nd gen ipod touch?

  • Currently I believe there is no main stream jaibreak approach for the 2nd generation ipod touch. There are ways to jailbreak it but very complex. I recommend to search on google from time to time to see if a solution is available. Best of luck.

  • yeah get quick freedom ! Its untethered which means it stays forever until u upgrade.etc

  • hay do i loose any of my apps wen i downgrade it ?

  • Yes all your apps and settings get wiped out. If you are going to do this backup your notes and copy any settings information. Best of luck.

  • Comment removed

  • hey whats goin on, i downgraded to 2.2 from 2.2.1, and im still not able to do the unlock because the modem firmware is still at 2.30.03, is there anyway to downgrade it so i can unlock it?

  • My friend once you upgrade the firmware it also upgrades the baseband. Once you downgrade the firmware you cannot downgrade the baseband. At least right now you can't do that. Search on google to see if eventually someone figured out how. Best of luck.

  • nice job i always got suck with that error message! didnt know what to do. good job

  • I appreciate it, I also had the same problem until by mistake I figured it out when I openned quickpwn. Thanks for your comment

  • sir i am haveing some speker problum do u think the reason is 2.2.1

  • Well I had version 2.2.1 and what I expirienced was bad battery life and the iphone would get stuck often. You may want to reinstall the firmware to see if the problem is fixed. Best of luck

  • do you have a method of unlocking the iphone to use on any network? the firmware i am using now is 2.2 , i have downgraded it from 2.2.1

    thanks alot.

  • Sorry I don't. I have ATT for my iphones. If you upgraded to 2.2.1 it will upgrade your baseband as well so you won't be able to unlock it. Check google to see if there is a fix.

  • is that the iphone 3g?

  • Yes. This instructions will also work for the 1st generation.

  • when i download the .ipsw from the link ...it appears as a folder to me ..so when quickpwn is looking for .ipsw it only finds the original one ...what should i do to make it look like a "lego" block and not like a folder???

  • You might have a program installed that changes the icon to something else. Check to see with what it opens when you click on it. You don't need to open it, all you need is to follow the steps on the video regardless of what it looks like, what you need to follow is the name. Best of luck.

  • is this the 3g phone?

  • yo i did this exactly like this and it says there is an erro when it prepares it for the restore and now it wont turn on please help me :(

  • If you got an error 1013 than that is the correct error to get the restore done. If it does not turn on don't worry, just press the power button twice and the iphone should turn on. If not then press the home button and power button on top for about 10 seconds and then let it go, see if it turns on. Let me know if you got it going.

  • Thank Man I love you ;)

  • You are very welcome, thanks for the love. Best of luck.

  • thank you!

  • You're welcome, I'm glad it helped out. Best of luck.

  • hey, I have a problem. I was able downgrade from 2.2.1 to 2.2. but yellowsn0w wont work because i have a baseband of 2.30. I need to have a baseband of 2.28, is there anyway to downgrade the baseband.

  • I looked into this for you and right now you can't. If you upgraded to version 2.2.1 then the baseband was also upgraded and there is no way currently to downgrade it.

  • hey

  • Hi, regarding the firmware it is the same for mac or windows. There is no different one for your OS. Go to my website you will be able to find the firmware there. You can also search on google for a tutorial on downgrading using a mac. Best of luck

I tried to get some video wallpapers and it screwed my phone up and I tried to restore it and it just so happens that the new 2.2.1 firmware came out today and iTunes said the only way I could restore was if upgraded my phone. So I did and I lost my jailbreak but now I can re-jailbreak my phone and live happily ever after lol. Once again, thanks!

  • You're welcome, I'm glad it helped

  • No only on the first generation and iphone

  • please help...i follow the instruction but the errow came up as errow 09...and it's not restore...what do i do ???

  • Make sure you have an Iphone 3G so that it will work since the firmware on my website is for the 3G, if you have the 1st generation iphone then download it also from my site. Each one is labeled.

    If you have the right firmware, then just upgrade back to 2.2 and try again the process. Best of luck.

  • What would I have to download if I had a 2G?

  • will this work with ipod tocuh first gen

  • Yes it should, try it let me know.

  • You are THE man!!

    Very Easy, Useful, and Trusty!!

  • one more thing if ever the iphones wer restore to their original settings is it possible to jailbreak them again w/o any hassle at all... thnk you very much though! more power to you! hope to hir from asap!

  • hi! youve helped a lot of people hope u can help me. ive just jailbreak my iphone 3g from 2.1 to 2.2 using quickpwn now im having problems like i cant send sms, i cant play flash movie in the net and cant send emails. ive done this too to my 2 friends & experiencing the problms too. is there a safe way i can restore the iphones to their original settings. cause ive red blogs that they've brick their phones. i dont want to take the risk of doing that so could you pls help me out. thnk u vry mch!

  • Will it also work with a 2.2 Ipod touch 2nd Gen?

  • Hey, I've searched everywhere for a solution to my problem but had no luck. I jailbroke a friend's iphone using quickpwn 2.1 and firmware 2.1 and after the process there was no service. Do you know how to remove everything (Cydia, installer, etc.) and restore back the signal?

  • Hi, You can always resync the iphone with itunes and choose to restore, it will reprogram the iphone to the latest version 2.2. If you had a sim card you where using it will stop working when you upgraded the iphone because version 2.2 also upgrades the baseband which cannot be downgraded at this time when you downgrade the version to 2.1. Hope this helped.

  • I didn't know jailbreaking it without an Internet connection would block out the signal so everything is up and running now. Thanks for your help though, aramistech!

  • No disrespect intended. Thanks for the video.

  • No problem. The video I made is to help you downgrade to version 2.1 not to jailbreak the iphone. If you are trying to jailbreak the iphone you will need to do the steps in the video. Once this is completed and the iphone shows activated and you can see all the icons then reopen the Quickpwn program and follow the steps to jailbreak. You have to complete the restore process completely in order to jaibreak it afterwards. Best of luck.

  • P.S. I'm sure you get a lot of questions some smart and some simple. Following your "directions" verbatim is what lead to my line of questions. If you dont know just say so.

  • Ok, but if you lose the ability to jailbreak, why would even want to try to downgrade?

  • Thanks for the nice video. I had a little problem. I couldnt get it to jailbreak after I downgraded (3G). So I up graded back to 2.2. Man I had a hell of a time getting to jailbreak, the USB wouldnt work. Anyway I got it, but Im nervous to try again. Do you have any tips? Have you ever had this happen? Could you help? Thanks

  • Hi, all I can tell you is that do not worry since you can always upgrade again to 2.2. I have done this on 3 iphones already and tons of people have done it without any problems. Please make sure you follow all the steps exactly like I do in the video. Best of luck.

  • ty for all your help i am so rating 5 stars! (:

  • Your welcome, I'm glad to help. Thanks for the 5 stars. Best of luck.

  • i got quickpwn encounter a problem and need to close.i already follow the instruction and mine is on ipod touch 1first gen.any solution?

  • Remember that you need the version that goes with your ipod. Search google for ipodtouch 2.1 firmware. Best of luck.

  • i did what you said and i still have 2.2

  • I get erro 5

  • I dont have a sim card... I have a chipped one so i can use my old sim card

    Now its screwd up when i get to the last part it tells me to plug my sim card in but if i have sim card inside my iphone i can't connect onto iTunes. I put the chipped sim card into my iPhone and this error came out and said i need a iPhone sim card or something and now my iphone is stuck in this position. The picture with a connector and a itunes icon any one help...!

  • can i do the same thing for a itouch??

  • Yes but you need to download the correct firmware that goes with your device. The one on the website will not work.

  • comment....

  • if i downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 can i unlock my iphone using 'yellowsn0w' , tomrorw?????????????????

  • No you can't because once you upgraded to version 2.2 the baseband changed. When you downgrade the version the baseband does not change and there is no method right now to downgrade the baseband.

  • DOES THIS WORK FOR THE IPOD TOUCH?

  • Yes it should. Try let me know. Remember you have to download the correct version that goes with your ipod. Do not use the iphone firmware since it will not work. Best of luck

  • can u post a video on how to downgrade or tell me how to downgrade from 2.1 to 1.1.4....... please reply and tell me will u make a video or not... Thanx

  • Hi, just search google for "downgrade iphone 2.0 to 1.1.4". There is no need for me to make a tutorial for that since there are many out there. Hope this helped.

  • is there a way to downgrade ipod TOUCH 2.2 to anything lower?? plz reply, i will love you!

  • Yes you can downgrade the ipod touch, You have to download the correct firmware for your device.

  • no its 1st gen

    2.2 version thanxz 4 alll ur help tho

  • yea i have only 1 problem for some odd reaso it wont give me permisson to restore my ipod????????????????

  • is jailbreaking illegal

    cuz i dont wabt to it then

  • Jailbreaking is not illegal but it does void the warranty on the iphone. Besides in this video I do not show you how to jailbreak the iphone. I explain it clearly, just follow the steps.

  • ok i got my ipod touch bax but it is not 2.1 i just wanna jailbreak it

  • Search google for that. If it is the 2nd generation ipod touch you are out of luck since that one cannot be jailbroken yet.

  • ok thanxz for the help

    but it didnt quite work what happpened was i did what you said and ok i have 2.2 and i wanted to jailbreak and it wasnt working for 2.2 cuz i didnt it on my old comnputer then transferrred my purchases to my new computer and i used the quickpwn and it didnt work so

    i did exactly what you said i held the shift buutoon and clicked on the restore and i got a error (5) and now therre is a cd with a itunes music note and the smaller part of ausb cord pointing 2 it

    thanxz

  • Your welcome, try reinstalling version 2.2 again and doing the restore process from the video step by step and see if it works. Best of luck.
