Downgrade IOS 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 WITHOUT SHSH Blobs

[eks_wolf]

Yes, you read it write! Now you can downgrade the annoying new iOS 4.0.2 to iOS 4.0.1 or iOS 4, without having your SHSH blobs saved. YES! without SHSH blobs. The tip was sent to us by one of my blog readers who wishes to remain anonymous in my weblog, I tried the method on iPhone 3GS and it worked without having your SHSH. Here's how..

Step 1: Download the iOS 4.0.1

iPhone4


iPhone 3GS


iPhone 3G


, download iTunes from here.


Step 2: Extract it with Winrar or Winzip to a folder on the desktop. You may need to rename the firmware file from .ipsw to .zip to be able to extract.

Step 3: Open buildmanifest.plist file from the extracted files using Notepad (for Windows) or TextEdit (for Mac OS X) Search and replace all – 8A306 with 8A400. Do the same with restore.plist file and save both of them.

Step 4: Now download iOS 4.0.2 and extract it using Winrar or Winzip.

iPhone4

iPhone3gs

iPhone3g

iPad 3G and iPad WiFi 3.2.2

iPod touch 3G 4.0.2


Step 5: Drag all files extracted files from iOS 4.0.1 and replace them with all files of iOS 4.0.2.

Step 6: Delete all ".dmg" files that end with 002 leaving files that end with 001. Then zip the new customized firmware and change it to ".ipsw" file, for example "downgrade.ipsw".

Step 7: This step is optional, it helps you to ensure you get an SHSH file request for the future, but should not be necessary to just restore 4.0.1



* Locate "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\" for Windows and "/etc/" directory for Mac, then locate “hosts” file and Open it in Notepad (for Windows) or TextEdit (for Mac OS X) then add this line at the bottom of the file and save it.
