Hey addy, I did the same thing and what worked for me, first download a 4.3.5 firmware off redsnow and put it in a folder on desktop. Then I had an older itunes installed on my wifes computer so i put my phone in dfu and plugged it in. It will tell you about dfu then hold shift down and hit restore and find your save firmware double click and walaa. Im back on 4.3.5 with 4.10.01 and using my gevey again hope this helps

Thanks for you help buddy...! Can you do me one more favor can you please tell me the whole procedure in steps please I found iTunes older version now where to get red snow and what version of redsnow to download and. One thing more please you updated your phone to ios 5final or beta?

It will be a great help...!

Chitown, when did you downgrade? Today? Ios5 offical launched yesterday. I guess apple is not blocking the signings yet?

Hey Addy, I figured out how to restore to 4.10.01. Just download the 4.3.5 IPSW. Then open iTunes and connect your phone (leaving it on, no DFU mode). Hold 'Shift' and click UPDATE NOT RESTORE. Find the 4.3.5 IPSW and iTunes will do the rest buddy.

Good Luck

So is it possible to do this even today?
I upgraded my baseband with itunes while updating to ios5 - stupid i know.
so is it possibly, by following this guide to get everything back and working?
(im gevey unlocked )
thank you guys!

I can confirm that as of about a minute ago (10:30 am Pacific time, October 14) Apple is still signing 4.3.5. I upgraded to/jailbroke iOS 5 when the GM was released, having been sitting at 4.3.3/04.10.01 for quite a while. Although I'm not an unlocker I will get a new phone at some point and decided today I wished I had preserved the old modem firmware so I could sell it as "Gevey compatible." I was at iOS 5/4.11.08 just a few minutes ago. I downloaded 4.3.5 from redmond pie, put the phone into DFU and hit option restore. I'm now at 4.3.5/04.10.01, but in a few more minutes I'll be back at iOS 5 with the older firmware.

Thanks for drawing my attention to this, OP, and keep us posted here as long as it's still working. I"m sure I'm not the only one who was glad to discover this news.
