This posting is part of Calpernia’s “Tech Tips for Nerds” series… if you are not a techie nerd, ignore this!
Ok kids, after a long day of searching every nook, cranny, blog and rumor mill following the iPhone software 3.1 upgrade released by Apple, here is the definitive finding:
If you upgraded your 3G or 3GS iPhone to 3.1, you cannot at present downgrade it to 3.0, jailbreak it or unlock it. There are some blogs out there saying you can, but that’s ONLY if you somehow upgraded the phone software to 3.0 but your baseband modem software remained not upgraded (which didn’t happen unless you were a developer who forced an upgrade of the phone software with a preview copy outside of the normal iTunes upgrade process).
To put it with ultimate clarity, if (as of Sept. 13, 2009) you upgraded your 3G or 3GS iPhone to 3.1 using iTunes, you cannot Jailbreak it, Unlock it or revert, restore or downgrade it to 3.0… yet. Use the Google search I put below to keep updated, I’m sure Saurik or someone will have this sorted out soon.
Oh, and [celebrities] [fancy costumes] [pop music] [sexy guys] for all my regular non-nerd readers. Mwah!
