    Downgrade ipad from 4.2 to 3.2.2

    If for some reason you upgraded to version 4.2 or 4.2.1 and found out after doing the jailbreak Cydia unfortunately time does not work (you can only see a white box that says down Cydia) in these versions, do not worry, you present the easiest way to downgrade to 3.2.2 or 3.2.1 without having Cydia previous files or anything like that

    Please follow the steps which are mentioned below:

    Step 1: You download the firmware version to which you want to lose (downgrade), or 3.2.1 or 3.2.2

    Step 2: Put your device in DFU mode:

    1. Connect the device to the computer, turn it off immediately.
    2. Simultaneously pressing the power key and home for exactly 10 seconds. Unleash the power key and keep pressing the Home button until your PC as a USB device then Bip found (are a maximum of 25 seconds), you'll notice that iTunes will detect your device and show you who is in recovery mode.
    3. Very important: if you can see on the screen USB cable icon are in recovery mode, not DFU, so you must repeat the process.


    Step 3: Make the following changes to your PC machine, follow the path: "c: \ windows \ system32 \ drivers \ etc \" and open the file called "hosts" in notepad or wordpad. If you have a Mac you navigate to "/ etc / hosts" The easiest way is to type in your Terminal app following: sudo / Applications / TextEdit.app / Contents / MacOS / TextEdit / etc / hosts and the file opens in TextEdit ..
