  “Cydia and Installer are gone (always happens during updates) but jailbroken apps still run!”
  how can it be?
  you still have everything you installed on step 3?

  i RESTORED to 3.0 on my 3g (from 2.2.1) and COULDNT do anything once was complete bc i received the “this phone is not a member of….”…so i RESTORED back to 2.2.1 directly(not 2.0 upto 2.2.1) and did absolutely NOTHING different than a normal RESTORE..(hold shift-WHILE IN DFU MODE OF COURSE! and click restore)…i got the “itune has detected an iphone in recovery mode”….shut down itunes….fired up QUICKPWN and received the Tip that says to hold down POWER **AND** HOME for ****15****seconds…NOT 14.5 or 15.5…****15****seconds…apple logo shows up then boots to an itunes activation screen NOT the DFU RECOVERY screen,started up itunes again and went straight to itunes store and was activated in 5 seconds!…hope this helps….or hasnt already been suggeted…ive always gotten tips from forums so i figured for once id return the favor—Peace

  Indeed, I agree with jimmy. I upgraded to OS 3 beta 2 and of course got the “for developers only. Two days later Apple still hasn’t accepted my 99 bucks. Was unable to get my carrier back after downgrading but finally was able to get QuickPWN timed just right and yes indeedy I got iTunes activated and my device is back online with AT&T. My device went back to the 2.2.1 (5H11) and now I’m re-JB’ed
  WAS freaking scary for awhile though.

  So I was stupid tonight. I upgraded to 3.0 on my unlocked, jailbroken iphone3G. I’m in the process of trying (from DFU mode) to downgrade back to 2.2. I’m more concerned about the unlocked part than I am the jailbroken part. Anyway, I keep trying Jimmy’s technique above with no luck. I’m going to try a few more times then try to sleep, but any advice would be appreciated.

  I’m T-mobile and in the USA and I bought the phone already unlocked. I was under the impression that the unlocking was a hardware thing, otherwise I would have done more research before going to 3.0. I hope I didn’t blow it!

  Thanks i advance.

  hi, could someone help me please. I’m not a computer buff, but i really need to know how to downgrade the firmware from 3.0 to the last one, 2.1.1 (my iphone is unlocked and so will not accept the new 3.0)?
  anyone who can give me a step to step guide would be a lifesaver (the article says something about using itunes for this, how do i do this please?)
  email hollywood_kills@hotmail.co.uk
  with any suggestions/help.
  thank you
