I bloody hate this jailbreaking stuff, error 1015 etc, but manage to get around it eventually.

What is the safest way to downgrade my bb and also upgrade from 4.1 to 5.1.1?

I was running a 3gs on 5.1.1, but i sold it, iam now running a 3gs on 4.1 with ipad bb and jailbroken.

Infact the main question is, once ive downgraded the bb, can i then go back to a stock ipsw, or do i need to keep it jailbroken? As a guess i can, as this is where error 1015 comes into effect, i think?

your serial 012 will be 2010 week 12

The best way for you to update to 5.1.1 is using sn0wbreeze: iH8sn0w.com
it will update, jailbreak and preserve the baseband all in 1 go.

the only way to downgrade your BB is using red sn0w (the version this thread is about)
if it doesnt work now you will need to wait for the update to be released.

once you have been able to downgrade the BB you will beable to use stock firmware again.

just remember to back up all your stuff before updating with sn0wbreeze because you will have to restore the phone.
once updated to 5.1.1 restore the phone from your backup and job done.

Doh! Yeah thats the one lol, 2010 week 12.

Ok, thank you for your help, think i will try it all out next week, just hope the version out at the moment downgrades my baseband, as i cant wait to get rid of this 3gs lol, iam missing my galaxy s2 since it got robbed, but i'll always own atleast 1 iphone, they are like a hobby to me, fixing them up. Easiest and cheapest phones around to repair i reckon.

Also thanks biffo.

Iam not one of these that will ask for help then dissapear, iam greatfull for any help that is given to me and i always say thank you, and iam willing to help others if i can. :cheers:

A BIG thumbs up from me, i have managed to downgrade from ipad baseband on the first attempt.

2010 week 12
