08-02-2010 1:16pm#1Hi Guys
I did the latest software update on the iPhone by accident
. I have surfed the net in despair on trying to get a fix, regarding downgrading to 3.1.2 software, but no luck. It seems Apple have stopped signing the older Firmware 
. I think I'm screwed until the hacking community come out with release for 3.1.3 or else wait until OS 4.0 is released...... 0

If you had previously jb there is a good chance that Cydia (saurik) has your ECID shsh on file .
Can you remember hitting "make my life easier" in Cydia or seen something like " This device has SHSH on file"at the top of the Cydia window??
This will allow you to point your iTunes (fool it) to Saurik server which will hold a backup 3.1x .isp for your phone .
Here is his instructions on how to change iTunes to look at Sauriks server 'v' the iTunes server .
Bypassing the Overlord
To this end, I have constructed a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple's signature server, except using "on file" results rather than live requests.
All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple's signature server to Cydia.
So, open the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.74.208.10.249 gs.apple.comNow, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia's "on file" feature.
This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.
Hope this Helps.

Heres a better guide i found ....It may help .take note of the paragraph in bold !
Restore iPhone 3GS to 3.1.2 Using SHSHs on File with Cydia | Windows
This Windows guide will teach you how to restore your iPhone 3GS to 3.1.2 instead of 3.1.3 using the SHSH details stored on Cydia for your 3GS.
This method also works to restore iPhone 3GS devices to 3.1.2 instead of 3.1.3 for many that have encountered an error with sn0wbreeze (as long as you haven't panic'd and done a normal 3.1.3 restore via iTunes already).
If you have already restored on stock Apple firmware 3.1.3 via iTunes this guide may leave your phone unable to connect to the network (the 3.1.3 baseband and 3.1.2 firmware may not work well together).
The first requirement is that Cydia has your SHSH details stored for 3.1.2. If you have opened Cydia and seen green text at the top "This device has SHSHs on file for iPhone OS: 3.1.2" then you can restore to 3.1.2.
You need to edit your host file to connect to Saurik's server instead of Apples to sign the 3.1.2 firmware when you restore.
Download iPhone 3GS 3.1.2 firmware
Windows Vista and Windows 7 users make sure the program Notepad has Administrator privileges (find Notepad, right click, select Run as Administrator).
On your Windows PC Browse C->WINDOWS->system32->drivers->etc
(if you installed Windows on a different drive letter browse to that on instead of "C")
Right click on hosts and select Open.
Choose Notepad and click OK.
Add "74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com" at the end of the file. Save it.
Before continuing enter restore mode. One way to do this is disconnect your phone from the computer and turn your phone off. Start iTunes. Hold the home button on your phone and plug it in. Continue holding the home button until iTunes indicates you are in restore mode.
Now you'll be at a screen similar to the one below. Hold the Shift key while you click Restore.
Browse to the 3.1.2 firmware file you downloaded earlier. Select it and click Open.
Click Restore.
iTunes will does its thing.
Once done your phone will reboot and you'll be back on 3.1.2.

Hi MixedNuts
I have tried to load Cydia on safari but it does not say at the top that my SHSH details are stored on Cydia servers. Are they autostored when you jailbreak first or do you have to manually store your details.0 -

Good that's the official carrier , follow the new guide I sent you.
The only concern I have is if your SHSH hash files are with CYDIA server , we still ain't established that.
It's no harm to follow the guide , you won't do any damage.
Yeah just hope the details are on CYDIA'S servers

Nice One...delighted !..Please block your IMEI :eek:
I see you have full bars on the 02 Network so the baseband IS WORKING !
Who said a "MC" model couldnt be rolled back and jailbroken
I would set it up as a new phone but read your PM's first 0 -
