Make sure you shut down iTunes. Quickpwn will crash otherwise.

When it asks you if you want to restore from a backup choose a backup that was done before 3.0 was installed.
You can also control-click on the iPhone in the sidebar and click on restore from backup.
"The backup cannot be restored to this iphone because the software on the iPhone is too old." <--- I have this MSG and I don't know what to do ;/ ;/

Mine said the same. Although I was able to find an older backup in the dropdown box. You may have one that you can use.
I love all these douches are like "Maybe you shouldn't have upgraded to 3.0!" I'm sure they say that while sucking on their nerdy little fingers with a dick up their a$$.
It was a developer software... that was the point. Apple should have a policy allowing people to just switch back. After experimenting with 3.0, I decided to switch back. I didn't enjoy the consistent locking-up, having no sound, not being able to access my iPod.
Cheers to all you who also like to experiment and develop apps.
I was able to successfully load the 3.0 update on the IPOD Touch 2nd Gen. So I tried it on my iphone 3G. Well need less to say it didn't work. So i tired a lot of steps to get the phone back to 2.2.1 but was unsuccessful. I went to the apple store made up a story about how my apt complex had a electricity go out while I was do a restore on my phone.
The Genius Bar rep tried several time and then swaped my iphone and I'm up and running.
hope this helps!
No luck. Phone still won't activate. Guess I'm going back to 3.0.
are you on ATT? What do you mean by activate?
The iPod touch is a lot different than the iPhone. The iPod doesn't need to be "Activated" and it has no baseband to screw up. You shouldn't just assume that upgrading to developer software on an iPod touch is the same as upgrading the iPhone 3G. You should do more research sometimes. Also, now there's people who have successfully downgraded from 3.0 to 2.2.1 but, the iPhone still has the 3.0 baseband (which can't be downgraded) and now they're having trouble getting data to work correctly or at all. This is why Apple said you can't downgrade after upgrading to 3.0. It's like this on almost all updates to the iPhone... it is harder to downgrade than it is to upgrade simply because of the baseband version.
In order to use any mobile phone, it has to be activated on the network to make calls and stuff.
Can ANYONE confirm the activation with carrier / baseband compatibility?
AT&T does not want to activate the phone (3G) once the firmware is downgraded.
iPhone works, but NO cell service..
Some people say that theirs works? Is it because they have touches? 2g iPhones? other carriers besides AT&T?
I am a dev, 3.0 works for me AND is activated and registered with the dev program.
but 2.2.1 and 2.2 will not activate with AT&T once the phone is downgraded using quickpwn. Everything else works perfectly in the downgraded firmware.
It's because you used Quickpwn to activate the phone. Quickpwn fakes the activation (this is only to be used for carriers other than ATT). That is why you don't have service.
Again I said this earlier, use iTunes to restore the phone. You should get error 1013. This is a GOOD error. Now open quickpwn. All you need to do is open it, THAT IS IT! DO NOT GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND JAILBREAK.
Now after opening quickpwn, open up iTunes. Your phone should now activate normally.
Now that the phone is activated you can jailbreak if you want.
Awesome!!
You knew EXACTLY what I was doing wrong!!
I kept going through the process and jailbreaking it!!
All you need to do is reset the phone so Quickpwn SEES the phone on the first screen and then BAM! open up iTunes and its good to go!!
Thanks a bunch man!!
