Did you even read my reply? I have my SHSHs on file for all of those too. Despite that, attempting to downgrade before 3.1.2 FAILS because my baseband was updated.

See this? (And before somebody questions me, I used tinyumbrella to get 4.0 hashes.)

It's operator error. Here are the steps
 
It only fails because it stays in recovery mode. Use recboot to kick it out of recovery.

Well there you go. I will admit that I was part wrong now.

Was that so hard to say AppleJuiced? Instead of trying to insult me and tell me I don't know anything??
 
You were not part wrong, you were entirely wrong. It is entirely possible to downgrade with SHSH on file, no matter your baseband version. That you don't know the well-documented procedure has no bearing on that.

I keep getting pointed to that. Where in there does it say "Use recboot/tiny umbrella to bypass error 1015"? It doesn't.

My original statement that if you have an updated baseband and try to downgrade it will fail is not wrong. I was unaware of the recovery programs. To tell me that I'm completely wrong is just not the case.

Regardless, if this is such common knowledge, why didn't somebody just say that in this thread from the start? Instead of the back and forth bs.
 
thanks

I know there are quite a few back and forth on what needs to be done.

basically, i had the SHSH stored in Cydia for 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.

I followed the instructions on iClarify to downgrade to 3.1.2 http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=7557.

I got the error message: If you get error message 1015 repeat the entire restore then jailbreak after it fails the second time. So I proceeded to jailbreak with ultrasn0w. It continued to stay in recovery mode so then I used TinyUmbrella to break it out of recovery mode.

After all this, I'm essentially on the baseband 05.13.04 and firmware 3.1.2. I installed Cydia and unlocked it.

I am good to go. Thanks for everyone's help.

No need to ever restore it a second time. Restore once and kick it out of recovery.

Sir, Im not trying to insult you or anyone here.
Im not like that.
Just trying to educate and help everyone I can but you posted false info and insisted you're right thats all.

But it is. Just because it failed for you because you didn't follow all the steps need to get it to worked doesn't mean it isn't possible, which was your original statement.

No one felt the need to say it earlier because most people expect that if there are 10 step to complete something, they do all ten steps. You stopped at like step 8. You built your boat and while it floats and all, you forgot your oars.
