How do I downgrade the new iPhone 4 to a lower version so I can jailbreak it?

Q. I have recently bought an iPhone 4 and tried to jailbreak it. Unfortunately when I try and jailbreak it, it says that I need to downgrade it to 4.0.1/3.2.1. I was just wondering if anybody knew how to downgrade it to that version. Also, I have tried restoring the iPhone.

A. My understanding is that once you have upgraded you can't go back to the previous version. This is designed into the upgrade.

There may well be software out there that will allow you to break the restriction put in place by Apple but be very careful you don't introduce a virus onto your phone.

If you are really keen on jailbreaking your phone then I would wait until someone develops the software for your OS version.

What are the chances of my iPhone 4 freezing if I JailBreak it?
Q. I really want to JailBreak my iPhone 4 but I'm scared it'll freeze. My friends have done it and one of their iPhones got frozen and it still hasn't unfroze, its been half a year.

A. Statistics show about a 68% chance, but grows to 77% in colder weather.

On a serious note you have better chances of laying a chicken egg from your elbow than freezing your device. I'm not saying your friends dumb, but he needs to do more research on how to unfreeze a device because there is always a way. You would literally have to purposely try to freeze the device by downloading things you know aren't compatible for it to become useless.

Back when the first iPhone came out it was easy to brick a device, but jailbreak ing has come a long way, and is much more stable.

I could write an entire book here telling you how and the things you can do, but don't have the time so visit these sites and read up on how to do it. My one piece of advice that will save you lots of time & frustration is READ instructions before attempting to jailbreak and know what your doing before you begin. Otherwise a simple 2 min jailbreak ing process can and will turn into a 12 hour fiasco (from experience).
