Is it possible to restore my 3gs to other Fw except for 3.1? Currently I having some issues with my jailbroken 3gs where Midomi cant retrieve youtube video after searching for the song.

Wanted to restore and jail break it again. Anyone can help?


Thank you.

I thought apple stopped signing the earlier OS's for 3GS...so the answer is no.

Unless he was jailbroken and stored his ECID on Cydia. Then it is possible with a little modification. I have done it myself.

This may be a possibility if it pans out:

A 3GS phone on 3.1 cannot be downgraded unless you previously logged your ECID and other details at Cydia.

If you did not do so...then once you reach a point where you need to restore your 3gs 3.0 or 3.0.1 phone, you can only go to 3.1

So be careful until there is a jailbreak for a 3GS on 3.1.

If you are already on 3.1 with your 3GS then you are stuck.
