both my 3g and 3gs my method worked on. also to downgrade you need to restore to a non custom ipsw. after that to get out off error 1015 you need to jailbreak.

also idk if i should share my method cause :apple: mayfix it like the first one people found
 
Because later when he can't, there will be a thread on helping him, which I am not opposed. What I am advising is not doing it to prevent future problems for the user.

4.0 is not for mass consumption now, we can all be grown ups and wait till Summer...

i already successfully downgraded 4.0 on my 3g and my 3gs is old bootrom and has all shsh files on file so it shouldnt be a problem.

Why be grown ups when Apple wants us all to be children? After all, they insist on the App store being G-rated and keeping their customers 'innocent' of such adult thoughts as 'easy syncing of data and files via a user directory' and 'choosing what to put on and do with our own phones' just like a parent to a child.

So why should we be grown-ups when we're being treated like children? :) :)

How to activate iPhone OS 4.0 Beta without UDID registration

Very nice of you not tell the people how you did install the beta without the UDID registration!

I did it also and even unlocked the hidden features for the iPhone 3G like multitasking and user wallpaper.

It`s no fake and you don`t have to pay for anything like registering UDIDs or something..I simply used the redsn0w jailbreak to SSH on my device and editet the SystemVersion.plist by deleting two lines identifying the firmware as a beta.

To activate the hidden features I editet the N82AP.plist by adding the parameters multitasking=true and homescreen-wallpaper=true. Wrote an easy to understand guide with all the legal software you need (not the firmware, you need to search for it yourself!) to get it done.

Works for me and includes the new redsn0w beta2 witch solves problems with the 3G network. All the guides trying to customize the .ipsw files are fakes, this is impossible. You can not restore a non-jailbroken device with a custom firmware! You will get errors in iTunes, even if you try reencrypting the file.

So STOP paying for the UDID registrations and do it the way i did it, until now there`s no other guide on the net, this is unique. This is my guide (my nickname is 3asy):

How to REALLY activate iPhone OS 4.0 Beta without UDID Registration by 3asy

Leave a comment here if it worked for you! Took a lot of time to write this guide, don`t waste your time with all the fake guides willing you to work with .ipsws.

To the administrators: Please don`t block me, just finished the guide and want to let the world now how it`s done. I`m not interested in prophit or fame, just can`t sit here and see how the people pay for UDID registration or brick their phones and knowing that it can be done very easy. Click on the Link and you`ll see it`s NOT a fake or Spam..Try it!

I´m new in this forum, maybe I`ll post the whole article in the how to section if there is one! Have fun :)

the ads on your blog suck. as soon as I clicked that link i got bombarded with popups and ads.
 
I`m sorry, don`t have the money for a .com or .net server adress and linked a long dropbox index.html file to a .tk shortened link.
Theay add the white bar on the top and a popup :(
If you use safari you don`t have the popup!
I try to delete it in the next hours, if someone is familiar with .html editing please tell me how to do it, tried editing with texteditor and the software I used to create the site (iweb) but can`t see any adds.

Edit: Have deactivated the white bar at the top in my .tk settings, changes will take effect in aprox. 30 min. I can`t see any popups in safari and firefox either..
Edit2: I left dot.tk and am now using blogger.com without ads or popups! :)

You`ll also find guides how to add the cydia sources and repair the blank cydia icon, how to activate homescreen-wallpaper and multitasking on the iPhone 3G, how to change the apple signature server to saurik`s and how to downgrade from the 4.0 Beta.

I am currently working on how to get your custom .ipa apps to work without the hackulo.us method wich isn`t avalible yet so stay tuned,

Can I make this work on my first gen iPod touch? I don't wanna risk messing up my 3GS as it's my main phone, but the iPod touch is spare.
