sorry, I meant beta 3.
I can tell you that either it's genuine, or, that the images have been edited.
The device is definately a 3G and I've just checked against serial and model number.
Either:
Dodgy build, (did you download the build or auto-update from iTunes?)
Edited Images
Previous Jailbreak has affected this.
I'm 2 years older than OP
I downloaded it because i had 3.1 beta 2 and then it came out so i downgraded to it using terminal commands so it could be summet to do with that
Can you post the download link please? Your browser history should have it, as you know.
How did you downgrade using terminal commands
?

I'll look but browser automatically deletes history and i download this terminal file to desktop and i restore to the 3.0.1 ipsw and then it gets 1015 error then you open up terminal type in (cd desktop) then hit enter, and then (./iRecovery -s) hit enter and then loads of stuff comes up and you type (fsboot) and hit enter
Just thought i have 3g the ipsw won't work with your iphone

Is there a tutorial on this you found? I can only imagine that this could have some other effect on something else.

I know, but I can still compare to see whether the build you have is compromised.
Yeah here's the tutorial

But i don't have the IPSW i think i downloaded it from
snip
and typed iphone 3g 3.0.1
that downgrade works with any firmware good if you need to downgrade

Why oh why... Apple provides downloadable IPSWs for a reason -.-
The build you may have downloaded may have been tampered with, and potentially, stuff added to it, e.g keylogger.
I suggest that you click restore in iTunes, so that you get one from Apple, a clean, unmodified, official one.
This is not just firmware, this is Apple's endorsed, official firmware.
Yeah buy me likey the battery percentage lol everything else ok and i only noticed it today so no harm in it
i might restore and see if it is still there
Wtf It's Still There
i might restore and see if it is still there
You restored in 7 minutes?
Really, I have only restored once and forgot how long it took.

If he took a screenshot of the "USAGE" screen and there's no option to turn off the battery icon (this icon is on the 3GS Usage menu screen), then that means he's not using a 3GS, so that first picture he has is legit.

He doesn't appear to have much content on his phone.
I did it and set as new iphone i always do erm and link for downgrade here.... http://rumahabi.com/downgrade-iphone-3gs-3-1-to-3-0-os-firmware.html
THANKYOU someone actually believes me

Am I incorrect, or did he say he had it in the usage screen?
Wherever it is, he did NOT show a screencap of the toggle switch. If he had one, he would have shown it.
Also, his iPod touch is Jailbroken, why should we believe him when he says his iPhone is not?

Ok today I was messing around in settings on my iphone to see battery life stuff and I noticed that there was a battery percentage toggle which I thought was only on the 3GS but hey, you might as well check your iphone 3g or 2g under settings>general>usage or summet like that and see if it is there.
The weird thing is that it's not under settings any more but i have the thing at the top.....
Ill post pics
I jailbroke my dad's ipod touch and i had the toggle switch, toggled it, iphone froze and rebooted it were gone stuck with percentage.
Why would i fake this just for a thread??
I have never jailbroke my iphone wouldn't risk it breaking only jailbroke my dads ipod touch because he won it and he likes themes and mods.
And along with the other screencaps you took, you didn't think to take one of the actual toggle switch?
The same reason anyone else posts a fake thread, attention.
I COULDN'T BECAUSE AT THE TIME I DIDN'T THINK AND I TOGGLED IT IPHONE FROZE AND REBOOTED THEN IT WAS GONE
lolWhen i get home on friday or saturday i will make a vid will you believe me then?
Cus whether you have it or not doesn't effect me, or anyone else here, one bit at all.
I still think you jailbroke, decided against it, and restored. That has happened to a bunch of people, they didn't turn the % meter off before restoring, and it stayed.
