is there anything I'm not doing?

ya there must be something up on your end, cos it has to work,
my host file looks like this , if it makes any difference ?

Adding a question. I've little knowledge but a friend of mine in Camen where the laws are very lax bought a jailbroken phone from a shop and was told not to update... anyway he did and now its locked.
He says that he thinks cydia was on it.

So, if lets say the shop loaded cydia and saved the SHSH file its there for him to get.
When a phone is updated to 3.1.3 and then locks will he have access to the apps? How will he know if the SHSH file is saved? Or is it just a case of going thru the motions (ie is there a quicker way to find out; say redownload cydia, possible?)

the only way you will know is to edit your itunes host file with the cydia server details, (instructions here all over the place) download a copy of 3.1.2 firmware and try and downgrade, it will let you downgrade if the shsh's were saved,if not it wont, unless your friend personally saved those files, there is probably no chance the shop did it !

If I uninstalled cydia from the iphone would that have removed my SHSHs from Saurik's server. Because I know I had them stored and I'm still not able to downgrade to 3.1.2

no uninstalling cydia will have no impact ot those shsh's stored,
how could it ? !!:pac:
maybe someone swapped phones on ya ! cos i cant see any reason why you cant downgrade if you have followed all the steps correctly
its simple ive done it a few times,

Ok another update to this long saga. I am emailing them now and they are saying they need me to get an 02 sim card and top up by £15 (not sure if it will be more in euro)
Anyway I have asked a number of times to explain how the unlock will actually occur and no answer so i'm worried that the process they are talking about is for unlocking the sim to all networks and not the iphone itself?

They unlock the iPhone, not the SIM (don't even know what you mean by a network-locked SIM as all SIM cards can be ported to another network).

You need to top up the PAYG credit on the phone by £15 (this is the ONLY way to pay for the unlock) and then fill in the online form on their website. Then, within 14 days, you will receive an unlock code through iTunes. You'll get a text from o2 when it's available. I presume it takes a lot less than 14 days though!

dont think you can backup shsh on non 3gs afaik
and with out official carrier sim, you'll need to hacktivate

I used snowbreeze to jailbreak my mates phone. The apps are all there but my sim card doesn't work in the phone. It doesn't get a signal. whats the next step?

cool sounds like you have the jailbreak so, so now you just need to run a "unlock" app, theres are loads, check for your specific model and firmware, i'd say Ultrasn0w will work for you, its in cydia (you have a cydia app on the phones springboard now ?) think of it as a jailbreak search engine,)
i think, or you may have to add their repo first if its not

I tried the ultrasn0w, but all I get after a reboot is "Searching"... I think he is screwed...

I upgraded my 3GS via itunes. I had previously jailbroken my phone. And i had Cydia SSHS on file.

Is there anyway for me to dowgrade?

yes,
go to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on your itunes machine
add this to the very end of the file and save

74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com

download a copy of 3.1.2
go to itunes press shift and restore, go to where you saved 3.1.2, it'll downgrade for you

Downgrade in 4 steps, doesn't get any easier I'm afraid, and it's the only way, your not actually downgrading as such, your restoring to 3.1.2, be sure to backup anything important and you'll have to rejailbreak to get cydia
