Comments: 64

In this guide you’ll learn how to downgrade iOS 4.1 to 4.0 / 3.1.3 / 3.1.2 on iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G and iPod Touch 3G, 2G. Follow the Instruction below to downgrade iPhone/iPod Touch iOS 4.1 to 4.0/3.1.3/3.1.2 firmware.

downgrade ios 4.1

iOS 4.1 beta is now available for download to developers. If you’ve already updated to iOS 4.1 to see if the Antenna issue has been fixed or to find out what’s new in iOS 4.1 beta but could not find it impressive or want to downgrade because Spirit jailbreak for iOS 4.0.1 or 4.0 will be out soon then this guide is for you.

In this guide we’ll use TinyUmbrella to downgrade iPhone / iPod Touch firmware. There’s no need to edit any Hosts file that is required in other guides found all over the cloud. We are going to setup downgrade server the TinyUmbrella way: with a single click.

IMPORTANT:

iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 2G (MC) users MUST have SHSH blobs saved for 4.0.1/4.0/3.1.3/3.1.2/older firmware in order to downgrade.

How to: Save SHSH blobs for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad

If you’ve SHSH blobs saved on Saurik’s servers via Cydia, download them into your computer first. To do that:

  • Connect your device, Fire up the TinyUmbrella (Download Link below-Step 1) and Check mark the Advanced Options.
  • Select your device, firmware (the one for which you’ve SHSH saved at Cydia; 4.0, 3.1.3 or older) and Cydia as Location.
  • Hit the save My SHSH button. that’s it. (check: Where it saves SHSH)

(e.g: to download 3.1.3 SHSH blobs from Cydia see the screenshot below)

downgrade ios 4.1 to 4.0.1, 4, 3.1.xdowngrade ios 4.1 to 4.0.1, 4, 3.1.xdowngrade ios 4.1

NOTE: If iPhone 4, 3GS, iPod Touch 3G and iPod Touch 2G (MC) users do NOT have SHSH blobs saved for an older firmware, they can NOT downgrade unless Apple is signing the Firmware.

Downgrade iOS 4.1 to OS 4.0.1/4.0/3.1.x firmware

*** Read the whole process first and then try.***

Step 1 – Required Stuff

Download TinyUmbrella and firmware 4.0.1, 4.0, 3.1.3 or 3.1.2 for iPhone 4, 3GS, 3G, iPod Touch 3G, 2G from the links below:

Rest of the steps are exactly similar to the guide posted earlier. So, follow the guide linked below and continue from Step 2:

Now you can jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.3 with Spirit, PwnageTool, Sn0wBreeze, RedSn0w and custom 3.1.3. To jailbreak iPhone OS 3.1.2 you can use RedSn0w, Sn0wBreeze, BlackRa1n, PwnageTool and custom 3.1.2.

You can always unlock iOS 4, 3.1.2, 3.1.3 on baseband 05.12.01, Baseband 05.13.04 and 05.11.07 using UltraSn0w 0.93.

Updates:

Downgrade iOS 4.3.3

    el iphone 4 no se puede instalar cydia, es decir, no se puede hacer downgrade.

      Si actualizaste el iPhone via iTunes con el iOS4 stock ya te amolaste, vas a tener que esperar al Jailbreake y Unlock de Spirit y Ultrasn0w. Es la unica forma de desbloquear tu iphone

          Estoy seguro que de un momento a otro ya sale la liberacion para los iPhone 4 y el iPhone 3GS con el iOS 4 de stock, asi que hay que estar pendiente, creo que el Jailbreak va a ser de Spirit y el Unlock de Redsn0w o Ultrasn0w uno de esos, estate atento, podria tardar unos dias o unas semanas pero ya no falta mucho :D

      atleast think before you ask..
      4.0.1 or 4.0 only.. older FWs are mentioned for older devices

      As long you already has saved your old 3.x.x formware, you can.

      If you didn’t save, you’re aout of luc, wait for new Jailbreak.

      The only way you will know this is when you tried to downgrade your phone using Cidya servers, for example, from 4.0.1 to 4.0 if the itunes accept he downgrade congratulations if not you are out of luck.

      There’s is no way to know if your SHSH is already stored at cydia servers, but I will recommend you let pass 1 week once you use TinyUmbrella for beign sure your Blobs has been successfully saved :D

    If you are going to be using a altered version of the iPhone operating system, you must use an older version of iTunes and the iPhone OS to make sure that you are still within the agreement licensing terms, so before you jailbreak you may wan to think twice!

      That’s means your SHSH is not already stored at Cidya or you didn’t perform well your backup.

      Trie in 1 week more, by now they are really overwhelmed for too many SHSH save requests since the JB is close people are getting the servers crazy.

      So be patient.

    The funniest thing is that people are crying that they updated their iPhones and then realized that they hated iOS 4. There is another soulution, its called Xcode on a Mac. You don’t even need SHSH blobs. you just plug in your iPhone, select the firmware, and restore. Basebands can’t be downgraded though…

    My 3GS with firmware of 3.1.3 was crashed. Can I just use another phone to save the SHSH into the computer so I can restore mine and downgrade it back to 3.1.3 again? Note, SHSH is saved from another iphone which is also a 3GS with firmware of 3.1.3. Thankful much to anyone who can help.

    hey Admin, I have an Iphone 3gS on 3.1.2 blackra1ned with new bootrom (tethered jailbreak). It has blobs for 3.1.2 saved in Cydia. It switches off automatically. So to get rid of switching off problem. I want to upgrade it to 4.0 not 4.1. i.e first upgrade to 4.1 and then downgrade to 4.0. Wouldn’t the baseband be upgraded if i upgrade to 4.1 and then downgrade would be impossible??? Please provide a soulution.

    I couldnt find any guide for Tethered JB models so asking this question.
