    If you have an iPhone 3G then you should be able to downgrade to 3.1.2, its not possible for iPhone 3GS as Apple has stopped signing the file.


    However, the tool tells you if you can downgrade the baseband, which is possible if you have an iPhone 3G and bootloader 5.8.

    It doesnt properly detect if you need to be tethered or not. I have an iphone 3gs that was just replaced 2 weeks ago by crapple. I jailbroke it and now I am stuck with a tether even though f0recast says I dont need it.

    Can someone tell me? I know what tethering is. But what do they mean by knowing if your phone is "tethered"???

    it means that when you restart your phone, everytime, you must rerun blacksnow/redsnow else the phone wont boot.

    In some cases people get others to JB their phones so they can't be sure

    What does that mean by may be depends if refurnished? I jailbreak my iphone 3gs with blackrain and everytime it boots, I have to run blackrain again. Please help me avoiding back and fort runing blackrain.

    Okay, so I downloaded the f0recast software and this is what it says about my iPhone 3g 4.2.1:Serial #: 818355PLY7HBaseband: 05.15.04Bootloader: 5.9_M3S2Model: MB046Jailbreakable?: YESUnlockable?: Upgrade to iPad BBWell, my iPhone 3g is already unlocked, so I guess you can disregard that. But shouldn't f0recast say whether my iPhone is tethered or not? Why isn't it showing up? I need to know because I am planning on jailbreaking my iPhone. PLEASE HELP.
