Downgrade baseband from 06.15.00 - iPhone 3G


Finally done. The iPhone Dev Team has released redsn0w 0.9.14b1 which allows us  now downgrade from baseband 06.15.00 (or the iPad baseband) to  baseband 05.13.04.

Step 1

Download original iOS 4.2.1 firmware 


Step 2


Download PwnageTool (OS X) or
Sn0wbreeze (Windows) 


Build a custom firmware using Pwnage Tool or Sn0wbreeze. Steps are very easy and you are guided by the software itself.

Step 3
Use iTunes to restore to the custom firmware built. Use Alt + "Restore" button on Mac OS X and Shift + "Restore" button on Windows to point to the custom firmware created in the previous step.
Step 4

Download redsn0w 

Open redsn0w. Click on Extras

Click on Select IPSW

Point to the 'original' IPSW downloaded from the internet (NOT the custom built firmware)

Click BackClick Jailbreak

Check Install Cydia and Downgrade from iPad baseband


Follow the steps as directed. 

After the process completes, you should find that your phone is on baseband 05.13.04.


It's that easy. In case not, do feel free to leave a comment.
