Downgrade Your iPhone from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2

The iPhone Dev Wiki says:

Contents
• 1 Status Report
• 2 To be done
• 3 Method A (Instructions)
• 4 Method B (Slightly Easier Instructions)
• 5 Method C (Easiest Instructions)
• 6 Baseband issues
• 7 Downgrading the baseband
• 8 Working functions
• 9 NOR dump of 04.01.13_G
• 10 1.1.1 stock iPhone unlocking

You can downgrade the iPhone firmware from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2 using any of the three methods below; however, there are no known methods for reflashing the baseband firmware back to 03.14.08_G like it should be for 1.0.2.....

These methods will not downgrade your baseband or reunlock your phone. A reunlock is in development and will be made available as soon we can, together with a method to reset your nck attempts, please stand by and watch the forums for further information. And again, DON'T upgrade to 1.1.1 if you are still on 1.0.2. Do all that on your own risk.

Apple Users Talking Class-Action Lawsuit Over iPhone Locking

InformationWeek's Alexander Wolfe says:

You bought the iPhone, you paid for it, but now Apple is telling you how you have to use it, and if you don't do things they way they say, they're going to lock it. Turn it into a useless "brick." Is this any way to treat a customer? Apparently, it's the Steve Jobs way. But some iPhone users are mad as heck, and they're not going to take it anymore.

In a Saturday post on Apple's own iPhone discussion forums, a user who goes by the handled of "myndex" has posted the provocatively entitled message "iPhone Class Action Lawsuit." Despite its title, it's not notice of an actual lawsuit. Rather, myndex is seeking comments from other forum users on what they think of suing Apple over its refusal to service users who've unlocked their iPhones or loaded them up with "unauthorized" applications. [Update, Sun 1:40 pm. As commenter "Poli," below, notes, myndex's entry on Apple's discussions.apple.com forums appears to have been removed by Apple some three hours after this Wolfe's Den post appeared. For that reason, at the end of this entry I've added screen captures of mydex's mirror post from the macrumor board.]

Here's an summary of the post....

Looks like the iPhone 1.1.1 update is reversible after all (kinda)

cre.ations.net's Nate True says:

Alright! Congrats to Kmac1985 from the Hackint0sh forums who discovered this little doozy of a method. Make sure to read the issues below (it's not COMPLETELY reversible). On a phone that has 1.1.1 installed....

Getting your native apps back: Downgrading legit (AT&T) iPhones from 1.1.1 to 1.0.2

iPhoneAtlas says:

While the iPhone hacking community scrambles to find a method for jailbreaking iPhones that have been upgraded to 1.1.1, there is now a procedure for downgrading iPhones that have been updated to version 1.1.1 to version 1.0.2, where the devices can still be jailbroken and third-party native applications installed per our guide.

The procedure, originally discovered by poster KMac at the Hackintosh forums, is very similar to our instructions for restoring the iPhone without using firmware 1.1.1 with one added step. It will allow phones that were never unlocked (still in the standard, AT&T operating mode) to regain their access to third-party applications via AppTapp/Installer.app, but will do away with the enhancements brought about by iPhone software/firmware update 1.1.1.

The steps are simple, but we found that the timing in the third step is a bit tricky. Here's an adapted, slightly more detailed set of instructions designed for iPhones that haven't been unlocked or unofficially activated...

N.Y. woman sues Apple, Jobs For $1M Plus Punitive Damages over iPhone price cut

She wants $1M in compensatory damages and punitive damages on top of that

Computerworld's Gregg Keizer reports:

A woman from Queens, N.Y., sued Apple Inc. last week over the iPhone, saying that the company broke several laws when it cut the price of the device last month by $200 and then issued a $100 credit to some owners.....

In a complaint filed Sept. 24 with a New York federal court, Dongmei Li accused Apple, Jobs and Apple's wireless partner, AT&T Inc., of price discrimination, discrimination in offering rebates versus credits, underselling, unfair and deceptive practices, and other violations of federal laws.
