Downgrade iPhone 3G & 3GS From iOS 4 To 3.1.2

by on

Users who want to downgrade their iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS devices after accidentally upgrading to iOS 4 will find this guide useful, thanks to commenter Kamrul for the simple and straight forward steps. It has been tested to work on both iPhone 3G and  iPhone 3GS.

Please note that this only works with OLD bootrom and you need your SHSH blobs saved on cydia before you can do this downgrade.

1. Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

Restore
———-
2. Connect your iPhone to the USB and put it into DFU mode. iTunes will display an alert stating you need to restore your device, click ok then hold option + click restore and navigate to your previously downloaded 3.1.2 FW.

3. After the restore finishes you should be hit with a 1015 error. That’s expected. Your phone should be in Recovery mode now and iTunes will tell you to restore again. Click OK then hold option + click on restore again – this time you do not have to go into DFU mode – and navigate to the 3.1.2 FW.


Jailbreak
———–
4. After the restore finishes again it’ll throw another 1015 error. That’s expected again. This time, just select OK and close iTunes. Fire up redsn0w – make sure it’s the 0.9.4 version – and jailbreak as normal. Uncheck all the ticks while jailbreaking.

5. After the jailbreak is finalized your device should reboot and strange enough you successfully downgraded to 3.1.2.

Update: If your iPhone goes in Recovery Mode loop, use RecBoot to get out of it. It is a brilliant application which will get you out of continuous never-ending loop.

    Perfect! Works perfectly!

    • Shdadow

      hey, can u tell me how u did the first step in how u fixed your iphone so it can restore?

  • Sahand

    Mine still gives me a 3194 error. :(

  • strikanina

    you need to put your device in DFU mode and then restore it (not update it) using the apple original 3.1.2 for you device. Mine iTouch 2g works just fine

    iTunes tells my my device isnt eligible when I try to downgrade to 3.1.2

  • Josh

    I get the same problem as Sahand. the 3194 error when I try downgrading. :( Help anyone?

  • Taha Sultan

    where can we find the Legit Apple firmware 3.1.2?

  • Pingback: Leaked: Apple Stealing All FaceTime Information, AT&T Locks Users via OTA Updates

  • Nick

    This can’t be right. Apple stopped signing firmware 3.1.2 a long time ago. 3.1.3 isnt even signed anymore.

    • http://www.addicitivetips.com Nakodari

      Exactly, according to Alpha it worked for him and for some more people. He said that it might work for a few more hours before Apple staff updates it and prevents this procedure.

      • Nick

        maybe it works for him because he is an apple employee, thus eligible for downgrade.

      • Nick

        Doesn’t work. Not eligible for downgrade it says. This story is bogus.

        • dra1nerdrake

          …you people are idiots. You DO realize that the entry you put in your hosts file redirects Apple’s TSS server to Saurik’s server, and if he doesn’t have your firmware signatures backed up, this won’t work.

        • JailBreak-Dummy

          If you read the directions, it show you how to fake out the apple server with an IP address in the hosts file.

          You get the error because you canno0t follow directions

          • inb4404

            But unless you backed them up, your SHSH blobs won’t be on the redirected server either, thus that won’t work.

  • Kamrul

    This solution perfectly worked for me:

    Bypassing the Overlord
    ——————————
    1. Open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.
    74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

    Restore
    ———-
    2. Connect your iPhone to the USB and put it into DFU mode. iTunes will display an alert stating you need to restore your device, click ok then hold option + click restore and navigate to your previously downloaded 3.1.2 FW.

      I can verify that adding that info to the hosts file does indeed work. The first time I tried, iTunes told me I could not load that on my device. I added that info to the host file using the Terminal and then the downgrade worked perfectly.

    • Alex

      Pretty nice, THIS guide actually works !
      Just finish downgrading iOS4 to 3.1.2 on iPhone 3G !!!

      THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!! im happy again !

    • waleeed

      will this work for iphone 3g … ios4 .. i didnt saved any shsh files in 3.1.2 firmware ? please reply me back !

  • sand0s

    i 100% guarantee that following these steps on an iphone 3gs will not work. this one little slip up on this whole “leak story” has just proven that the information is less than reliable. what i’m still trying to figure out is why someone would peddle such nonsense.

    • ahmad

      man I follow steps and it worked out for me… just run redsn0w twice and it will work…
      I hope this help

  • Paul Fisher

    @ Kamrul thanks a lot. Worked like a dream. Gone from 4.0 on my 3GS back to 3.1.2

    *gives finger to apple*

    • nahseez

      paul, you added the ip in the host file…then ran the restore from itunes? Where did you get a ‘legit’ firmware 3.1.2? When i try using the firmware i have, iTunes doesnt verify it.

      trying to downgrade from a corrupt iOS4 to ANYTHING that’s working…lol

    • Matrika_123

      i forgot my firmware. mine is in a recovery mode. erro 1015. what to do?

  • Dirty Dobb

    is there a way to get back to 3.1.3 instead of 3.1.2. I want to jailbreak without being teathered.

    • Kamrul

      You can try the same process, and jailbreak by using sn0wbreeze. I didn’t test it, but should work. What’s the specialty in 3.1.3? Once you roll back to 3.1.2, life is easier. You will many solutions for activating, jailbreaking, unlocking, etc.

  • Kenneth

    I followed a similar path…was hasty. Was stucj with Connect to iTunes once I went up to ios4 with 5.13.03 baseband.

    This was my fix:
    1. Go into DFU (check web) and Shift-Restore with firmware 3.1.2. I got the 1016 error but that was okay..the downgrade was in.

    2. 1 then used Blackrain rc2 to jailbreak and was on 3.1.2 with newest baseband.

    3. I then downloaded a Custom ios4 firmware and upgraded to ios4 UNLOCKED!!!!

    4. I am free

    • Jose

      is your iphone new bootrom????????

  • jxc241

    Will editing the host files work on an ipod touch? I’m looking to use spirit on my ipod tough 3G blackra1n 3.1.2. I need to restore it in order to use spirit and apple doesn’t verify 3.1.2 and if what someone said above, they won’t do .1.3 either. I’d be fine to upgrade to 3.1.3 if they will verify it.

    • Kamrul

      As the ios4 has been released, Apple won’t verify any earlier version.

      • jxc241

        So am I out of luck with trying to get spirit? I’m going to Europe for 5 weeks and don’t know if I can use blackra1n one the road. My ipod will shut off sometimes and I need to rejailbreak it as it sits on the connect to itunes screen. Anyone know if I can just keep blackra1n on a USB stick and run it from there to jailbreak it if I need to?

  • Dirty Dobb

    I get the 3194 error when trying to downgrade…I also put the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com in the host file. But nothing seams to work, any help would be great.

    • Kill-K

      I’m same as well :(
      3194 error even with 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com in the host file….
      Using Windows 7 (64 bit) system…
      Anyone confirm if it’s still working or not? :)

      Thanks!

      • John

        try 74.208.105.171 and restart itunes

  • Tracy

    @Kenneth:::
    have you previously used that Cydia “make my life easier” button and are you AT&T?
    Thanks!!! My phone is stuck in the “connect to itunes” mode.
    Also, did you use iTunes 9.2….
    Sorry about all these questions, please help!!!

    You guys ever heard of SHSH blobs? ONLY IF you ever saved (when they could be saved, they can’t now) your SHSH blobs in Cydia or Firmware Umbrella for 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 versions, you can downgrade to those firmwares in true DFU if you have the hosts file modified. SHSH blobs are unique for each iPhone 3GS. If you didn’t save your SHSH, you CANNOT downgrade. You should learn to read some forums and realize that 100,000+ users with this problem are not so dumb.

    The IP address mentioned in the post is Saurik’s TSS server. Not a *special* magical TSS server that allows anyone to downgrade to any firmware. Atleast know what you are doing or saying! And I can’t believe this is an apple employee who only talks about jailbreaking and can’t ever spell right (regardless of whether it’s night or day). He has no idea how the firmware restore process works. And he’s talking about ingenious ideas like OTA re-locking?

    Nothing against you, Nakodari, but if you want people to have nothing against you you should probably have a more detailed disclaimer. On the contrary you seem to delight in your friendship with Alpha (who by the way @MuscleNerd has already pwned – check his twitter).

    • Pizzle

      is there a way to check if saurik has your SHSH Blobs?

      • stazis

        yes – i used tinyumrella (google4it) for that – unfortunately my life “is not easy” =)
        after being mad on apple for 3 days of mazohistic behavioral gave up and wait for some jb

  • EpicWin

    I followed the updated instructions with this guide and was happy to see it worked. Unfortunately though after restoring to 3.1.2 in DFU Mode, and then restoring a second time per the instructions, the device was still in recovery mode, but it was jailbroken. At this point I went and utilized PwnageTool 4.01 to customize my 4.0 IPSW. I then restored using Option+Click and the new IPSW. My device is now jailbroken on iOS 4.0.

    If you are having trouble with DFU mode, the best guide I’ve found is here: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

    Additionally, if you are unable to edit your hosts file as I was (on Mac OS X) follow these steps:
    1. Open Terminal and type in: sudo pico /etc/hosts
    2. Hit Enter to submit the previous text entry.
    3. You will be prompted for your password, enter it and hit enter (You will not see characters, just type the password and hit enter)
    4. Use the arrow keys to position the ‘cursor’ at the bottom of the file.
    5. Enter the server information provided in the updated instructions.
    6. Hit Ctrl+X when finished, then hit Enter.
    7. Close Terminal.

  • armin

    Just for Info, another way to do it:

    I coudn’t get my iPhone in DFU, I tried EVERYTHING but no chance, the redsh0w would not accept it on the last step of Jailbreaking. I tought I am stuck with the iOS 4.0 but then I found this Solution for those who CANNOT GET THE PHONE IN DFU!!

    1. Step stays the Same!
    2. Even if you are not in DFU, just start the Restore over iTunes with Official 3.1.2 Firmware, you will get error code as result (Error 1015).
    3. Do it second time olso with the same error code as result (Error 1015).
    4. Do not use redsh0w becouse it will not accept the iPhone, and will ask for DFU mode. Use the blackra1n and Jailbreak the iPhone!!! It will restart the iPhone and after that get all the rest (Cydia etc).

    Thanks for the Tutorial … you saved my day!

    • rlb

      Thanks Armin – had a similar problem. Although I could get my phone in DFU, I couldn’t get past the 1015 issues using redsn0w. Used blackra1n as you suggested and it went through great. 3G from iOS4 to 3.1.2 on Win XP Pro SP3.

    OK- so I kept getting 1015 errors when following steps to downgrade my 3G from iOS4 to 3.1.3

    How?
    Thanks in advance.

    • armin

      Hi David,

      no it is not possible to restore a backup from iOS4 … because it is not the same OS … different backup format.

    Hello. can anyone please help me.. i have an iPhone 3GS. used to be in 3.1.3 firmware. it is an MC model. has not been unlocked nor jailbroken even once. I didnt back up my SHSH because i didnt know what that was.. then i upgraded to 4.0 through iTunes.. can this be jailbroken and unlocked?
    I cant downgrade to 3.1.3 it says firmware – the firmware is not compatible.
    when i try to restore a 4.0 custom firmware it gives me errors like 3194,1604,1600. Please i really need your expertise.

      Right click on the host file The click > properties > Security > Edit

      Then click Add and put in your user name you are logged in with and grant yourself FULL Permissions. You should then be able to save

    • gabriel

      you need to right click on notepad and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR, then click on open and look for the file, when you get to the folder ETC, and you dont see the file, select show all files and then o pen it and edit it and save it. and thats it.

    • Josh

      Hi,
      are you getting any message about UAC (User Account Control)? If so please do the following:
      Go to Start AllPrograms Then try to open the application Notepad in this submenu by RightClicking on Notepad and Select Run as Administrator then confirm if asked. Once Notepad pops open then go to File menu and then Open. On the left side of the window find Computer and the go to your Hosts file location (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc). You should now be able to open the hosts file and edit it to implement the line which will redirect the Itunes from apple signature server to saurik server. Hope this helps.

    • Josh

      Also,
      remember that all this works only if you previously saved your shsh blob of your apple device on the saurik server through an app like Autoshsh. Every apple device is uniquely identified through hardcoded code. Cant mess with that… very much.

An unknown error occurred (13).”

    Googled the error, followed Apple’s advise for resolution to no avail. I’ve tried this on more than one computer with different Windows builds. one being Windows XP and one being Windows 7. Ran iTunes as administrator. Can’t get this to work.

    i have a cuestion, does this work on 3gs NEWbootrom?????????, because i head that if you upgrade to official 4.0 (upgrade the baseband) and then downgrade to “3.1.2 official FM” use black rain, unlock with ultrasnow for the new baseband and then your able to upgrade to a custom 4.0 that was imposible because of the bootrom, is that posible? is that the solution for de 3gs newbootom?

    Not working for me.. It doesnt matter which version I take for restore, iTunes keeps coming with error 1600 upon restoring in both DFU and recovery mode. Anyone else has this problem?

    I successfully downgrade my Iphone 3gs 16gb OS 4.0 firmware 5.13 to OS 3.1.3 Firmware 5.13 and that was this afternoon. Using the above method and some other guide.

    BTW : if you getting error 1015 Congratulation you done the downgrade. All you need to do is get Recboot to get out of Recovery Mode and you are back to the normal springboard.

    Then I tried again with my cousin iphone same model same OS and firmware. BAM now it give me error 3194 every single time. I was like WTF ?

    I dont get it at all.
    The IP : 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com “worked” but not anymore for some reason

          ok if you are on 4.0, u can jailbreak and unlock your phone.

          Jailbreak using redsn0w 0.9.5 and then load cydia, add source repo666.ultrasn0w.com
          and install ultrasn0w. Now you should have a fully unlock iphone on 4.0.

    hey guys thanks for this post. i am having trouble adding the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com entry. it says it can not save. im on a PC and i have an iphone 3G on 4.0. Also can i get a quick tutorial on how to save SHSH blobs on cydia plz. sorry for the noob questions. thanks in advance.

    • John

      Alex,

      If you are unable to save the HOSTs file, then chances are it is marked as READ ONLY. Right-click on the file and goto properties. Check to see if the READ ONLY attribute is checked. If so, uncheck it and then hit OK

      If you have not saved your SHSH data prior to upgrading to 4.0, then it is too late at this point – at least with current methods of downgrading. If you’ve jailbroken your phone on older firmwares, there MAY be a chance that they were saved. You can check by opening CYDIA and up near the top of the screen on the home page, it will show in green the words “This phone has SHSH data on file…” or in red ” This phone does not have SHSH data..”

    • TN

      This happen with Win7 (too many dumb security concern). Right click on the hosts file, security tab, click on your profile or name now grants all the permissions once done click apply.

        to edit the host file, first open up notepad, and then drag the host file into the notepad window. then add the last string at the bottom, spacing it just like the ones above.

    I have a locked iPhone 3GS new bootrom with iOS4 on it.

    I was tempted to first downgrade it to iOS 3.1.2 so I can follow the new available iOS4 jailbreak method.
    I did change apple’s host address to the 74.208.10.249 IP. However iTunes refuses the server !

    So I think I just have to throw this fucking iPhone to the trash.

    how do i downgrade an iPhone 3GS with iOs 4 firmware?

  • roxana

    Hi all,
    I recently bought Iphone 3gs frm USA (3.1.2)jailbroke it with SPIRIT… was unlocking using blacksn0w i think… it got hanged while the process was about to end… and when I rebooted it, it showed apple logo only and couldnt go into the main menu screen,,,, so out of frustration or my impatience, I restored it using itunes with OS 4.0 firmware… now it shows emergency calls only and iTunes doesn’t recognize my SIM as I dont have an official carrier’s SIM (I am in middle east). So th ebasically it has been restored to factory settings and is currently inactivated. How can I jailbreak and activate it ?? Any help would be much appreciated…. is there any other option for eg hardware unlock ??

  • darkevilsta

    I have a problem now. The downgrade worked, but now my iphone isnt recognized by itunes. It still pops up as a camera, just doesnt get recognized

  • MUNIR

    i have sucssfully completed every step but my iphone 3g 8gb is giving no service i downgraded from 4.0 to 3.1.2 please help me.

  • Bannana Joe

    Well I already learn two things.

    1st. You will need SHSH ALLWAYS. Without this file WE CAND DO ANY DOWNGRADE, since Cydia and Apple sites verify and confirms the SHSH to let us downgrade firmware. And SHSH are not compatible between iphone each iphone has their own SHSH EICD, also each SHSH must be created un their original firmware.

    Example: SHSH of 3.1.2 is different from 3.1.3, you can only restor the phone to the SHSH was createt at the moment. That’s the reason WE the people that has been upgraded iphones to the stock iOS 4 for any reason, from iTunes/Apple site are totally unluck if we don;t have these SHSH files on cydia.

    2nd. We need to read more and more about this matters because we are now bricked, until Dev Team or someone else make a NEW Jailbreak for STOCK iOS 4. Since the upgraded iOS4 CUSTOM from previous 3.x.x firmwares are not working with us.

    Thats why, everyting we trie are a total failure, becuade WE DON’T HAVE THE SHH files to downgrade our phones.

    :( Too sad (even for me) next time is wise read a little about this matter unless we want a new brick.

    I see difficult to Dev Team and all the other make and Jailbreak for iOS 4, they are more focused in iOS 4.1 since this OS is about to see the daylight any time soon.

    We need to hold on our horses and wait until the new files arrive, or joint in the large file of ebay sellers selling their AT&T devices because they already bricked and don’t have any hope to realeas thei iphones from lock.

  • missG

    It works! thanks man. all you have to do is follow this guide, when you stuck on recovery loop just run recboot. make sure your iphone recognized by irecovery. you can follow to this guide to install libusb.

      For the users of iphone 3gs if having error 3194.
      1st download firmware 4.1 ipsw
      Then go to run type %appdata% then press the enter botton.
      open folder apple computer, then folder itunes, then folder iphone software update. U will find a firmware with a diffrent version delete this file but not parmenantly make sure its in recycle bin.
      now make sure that u copy and paste the 4.1 version.
      after updating complete it will give u 9808 eror.
      go to run and type services.msc
      look for the dns client and restart it.
      then open itunes and connect your ihopne again. and it will work .

      then open itunes and
      then open itunes and restore.

    For those of you having the 3194 error, I fixed it on my 3GS (old bootrom).

    Sometimes Windows XP (what I am using) will cache the DNS and not read from the hosts file

    Click Start > Run > and type services.msc

    Look for the “DNS Client” and disable it – Then try to restore.

    I downgraded from 4.0.1 Baseband 05.13.04 to 3.1.2 (Which I think even more better). Downgraded firmware will not downgraded your baseband. People said after that I can use Blackra1n like I used to. I did but its not working on baseband 05.13.04. I lost hope. My iphone is not nothing but a piece of junk. Today, I stupidly, blindly, suddenly use jailbreakme.com to jailbreak my iphone. It went as usual (I felt strange??). Then I was shocked to see Cydia was there on my homescreen (Now I hv BIG ???)
    I immediately install Ultrasn0w…sadly my Iphone stuck for looooooooooooooggggg time…I turn off my precious Iphone felt frustrated. I tried to turn it back on. and again stupidly inserted my sim card. Waiting….waiting….and IT WORKED!!!! Now I can use it with any SIM CARD I want…I have stupidly jailbroke and unlocked my Iphone with my own stupid way…Now my iphone is not a junk anymore…hahahaha…just want to share with you guys!!

    For those of you trying to downgrade and receiving the 3194 error, here is a tip that might work.

    Providing you have already had your shsh saved with cydia and are trying to downgrade to 3.1.2, try downgrading to 3.1.3 first. I was getting the 3194 error and tried going to 3.1.3. Worked fine.

Now the trick to get u on 3.1.2 is do the same proceedure except u have to quikly unplug your iPhone within 3 seconds of pressing make it rain that should see u on your choice of firmware but please no this is my trick n in no way am I telling u it will work for u but has always worked for me cheers people if u try this email me how u go /////. remember at your risk

    Hi, I have an unlocked/jailbroken iPhone 3G using iOS 4.0.1 (8A306) and baseband 05.13.04. I was wondering if there is any way to downgrade it to iOS 3.1.2? Would I just need to restore it to factory settings, then start from the instructions listed at the top of this page?

    Yes its possible and dont listen to all these people saying you need the SHSH because you dont. the only SHSH i have is 4.0 and 4.1 and i downgraded yesterday to custom 3.1.2 on my ipod touch 2g MB. possible for ur iphone 3g and 3gs.

    heres the site that helped me through the process( I take no credit, just wanted to share with the community). http://www [dot] ipodtouchfans [dot] com/forums/showthread.php?t=302275

    NOTE: this is what I did. I downgraded 4.1 to 4.0 just through DFU mode. Then I tried jailbreakme but wasnt able to complete downgrade with that jailbreak. REDSNOW MUST BE THE JAILBREAK. & PLEASE FOLLOW the STEPS THOROUGHLY.

    I can say that the absence of the past SHSH doesnt mean its too late to go back to an old firmware. // jailbroken

    Hello,

    I found a very interesting way to downgrade the software of an iphone !!!

    So all the people stuck with the restarting problem you can go back by using this method !

    You just have to drain your battery and leave your Iphone off without charging for 5-7 days !!!!

    And then everything will be reinitialized the date, the hour and the IOS !!!!

    The unlock seems to be working from ios 4 the only thing missing is Cydia !!!

    Kind regards,

    Mohamed

    Hello,
    I have iPhone 3 G, 16 GB with iPad base band running iOS 4.2.1. I installed whited00r Full 4.2 few days ago. I was happy to use multi-tasking, battery percentage etc. And I found I had many apps running only on iOS 4.0 and later. So I decided to restore to iOS 4.2.1. I pressed Shift + Restore in iTunes, selected the .ipsw file, then it says “can not restore this device, error 1015″. I tried nights and days to solve this problem using redsn0w, sn0wbreeze, ZiPhone etc. and even tried to restore using iPhone1,2_whited00r42FN.ipsw, but no results. I tried restoring online, still no result. Unistalled all the apple applications on my PC (Windows), still no solutions. Help me to solve this problem.
