    Now, one would have hoped that the process would be as easy as “restore using the 3.0 IPSW”. If only we were that lucky. The first problem is that a downgrade from 3.1 to 3.0 must be initiated in DFU mode.
    So, we begin: hold down the lock and menu buttons (some call these the power and home buttons) for 10 seconds, letting go of the lock button but continuing to hold menu until iTunes recognizes the device with the message: “iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes.”.
    Note that, at this point, your iPhone’s screen should be entirely black. Many people confuse “DFU” with “recovery” (and in fact, iTunes itself glosses over this), but they are quite different. If you see anything on your screen, such as the iTunes logo and a sync cable, or a cartoon of Steve Jobs swearing in Cyrillic, you are in recovery mode and need to try again. One can find videos online that may help.
    At this point, you should do a “normal” restore to the 3.0 software. When doing this, remember to hold down the option key (on Mac OS X) or the shift key (Windows) while clicking the Restore button in iTunes. Select the firmware (which is probably named iPhone2,1_3.0_7A341_Restore.ipsw), and things should be on their way.

    I tried to downgrade my 3GS after I accidently upgraded to 4.0. I had no luck! Is there a solution or am I stuck with it?
