A user named CodeBlue has discovered an unconfirmed method that may allow you to downgrade your 4.0.2 iPhone to 4.0.1, jailbreak, patch the safari exploit with Saurik’s patch and be jailbroken safely. This may be your only option if you have an out of the box iPhone with 4.0.2 on it and no other way to jailbreak. Note that I did not try these steps. They sound good to me in theory and others are reporting some success. After all, you have nothing to lose if you are already stuck on 4.0.2 without an SHSH in Cydia.  Here are the steps:

1. Download 4.0.1 ipsw

2. Extract it with winrar or winzip  to a folder on the desktop. You may need to rename the firmware file from .ipsw to .zip to do this.

3. Open the buildmanifest.plist with the notepad. Search and replace all – 8A306 with 8A400.  Save. Repeat the same with the file restore.plist

4. Download 4.0.2 ipsw and open this with winrar or winzip. Note: do not exact it. Just open it and leave it open. You must use this exact file and not create a new one. If you have to create a new one for reasons like you are on OSX, then use zip command line not explorer or finder to make the zip. I will assume you are using the original file opened in winrar for the rest of this guide.

5. Take all the files from the 4.0.1 and drag them over to the 4.0.2 zip archive that you have open.

6. Delete all the dmg files that have 002 at the end, leaving only the 001 files left.

7. Save the archive. And rename it back to .ipsw if you changed the name to get winrar/winzip to open it.

8. Optional: (this helps ensure you get an shsh file request for the future, but should not be necessary to just restore 4.0.1).  Add the 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com line to the host file. If you need help with this step, read this.

9. Put the device into dfu, open iTunes and restore the firmware you changed.

Check out the original post or give thanks to CodeBlue at his blog.

Note: this only works due to the similarities in 4.0.2 to 4.0.1 and 4.0. This will not be a way to downgrade to 3.1.x and may not work in future firmware updates.

PS3 Hack

Hopefully you backed up your SHSH Blobs, k thx!

DONE!

If you replace the Iphone Battery to try and get a bit of extra life in your phone, you may end up getting Error 29 in iTunes every time you try and Restore your Iphone to ANY Firmware. Not to mention your phone will reboot every 5 minutes using iOS4 if you do manage to get the iOS4 on there.

If you REALLY want to replace the Battery you can try soldering the board from the original Apple Battery to the after market Battery and this SHOULD work.

Otherwise just leave it alone and all will work

Notes:

- Facetime/MMS Fix, Add http://iphonedelivery.advinux.fr/cydia to sources, install the package!!!!

- @StealthBravo Fixed the FaceTime/MMS Bug on JailbreakMe. Backup iPhone first, jailbreak, restore backup.

- chmod 0755 /var/mobile && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library && chmod 0755 /var/mobile/Library/Preferences
Then reboot, then enable facetime in phone settings.

- Those of you having problems where the device sits at the purple screen forever may benefit from clearing your cookies and restarting safari:
1) Put your device into Airplane mode.
2) Go to -> Setting -> safari -> Cookies -> Accept.
3) Double Tap home button.
4) Press and hold an icon to wiggle the task switcher icons and then quit Safari using the X.
5) Clear all Cache and cookies.
6) Open safari and go to jailbreakme.com and try again.

On a Side note, support someone I went to high school with! I know this site probably attracts geeks, so you should appreciate a couple of funny blonde girls.

Now you will only have a small trial period (50 songs I believe), but to avoid this and be able to save the songs for later listening, follow the below guide. Also when he states to change the number, just make sure you increment the number. You can also do all this with Ifile from Cydia, no need to SSH. I may write my own guide using Ifile.

Grooveshark Free Guide

*UPDATE*

Kevin’s Guide

Requirements:

1 – Ifile from Cydia
2 – Grooveshark from Cydia
3 – Sign up for a Free Grooveshark Account
4 – This Guide will only be useful if you have a Jailbroken Iphone
5 – Not needed, but I find having Backgrounder makes this TONS easier

Keeping the “Trial” going Forever:

If your Trial happens to expire, simply open up Ifile and edit the following number in the file listed below. You will simply be choosing a bigger number, just increment the number. Make sure Grooveshark is closed and you should be back up and running. File Path = “/var/mobile/Library/Grooveshark/userInfo.plist”

Saving your Music:

Start by opening Grooveshark and searching for a file to play, there are a couple things you can do here. If you play the file it will save the file in “/var/tmp/temp.mp3″ once it has finished streaming the file. You can also click the arrow to the right of the File and choose the option to save for Offline play, this will ensure it’s downloaded. Once Downloaded you will notice a Green Arrow indicating it has been downloaded. So the rule for this is, Play the File and make sure it’s been completely Downloaded. You can then Background Grooveshark and load up Ifile, Copy the temp.mp3 file to another Directory and Rename the file. The Pictures below should demonstrate what I mean. Once moved to the Directory of your choice you can Zip the files in Ifile and send them to your computer using the Wifi Transfer. Also creating Bookmarks in Ifile might make going between Folders Much easier.

Hope this helps a bit, you can always use the other guide if mine is horrible

On a Side note it is an extremely good idea to get your SHSH Blobs for 4.0.1 FW for the Iphone as I believe there will be a jailbreak really soon. Apple has already stopped signing for 4.0, but Comex has stated that 4.0.1 is just fine.

Use Umbrella to get your SHSH Blobs, even if you aren’t using 4.0.1 you can still backup your SHSH Blobs if you have your ECID
