Downgrade 2.30 from 2.28 ONLY for bootloader 5.8

Haven't tried this, but have many reasons to think it works. This is based on the new BL5.8 exploit by geohot.

ther is no bootloader 6.02 or at least as far as we know.
there is only 5.8 and 5.9

I have a 3g phone bought in july. how do I know if my bootloader is 5.8? I have the 2.30.03 baseband along with 2.2.1 firmware.

Hi..
I have some iphones for sale and I was checking the bootloader version and I have 2 iphones w bootloader 06.02

I did not find anyone w 05.08 bootloader, so i guess wait for another solution..

Install Minicom from Cydia, then follow these instructions...

1. After installing Minicom from Cydia, make sure the folder /usr/etc exists. SSH into your iPhone and then, type: minicom -s
2. Now, select Serial Port Setup in the Menu and press Enter. Then, press "a" and set Serial Device to /dev/tty.debug. press enter.
3. Press Esc, and in the Main Menu, select Save setup as dfl. Now, select "exit".
4. To run minicom using ssh, just run minicom -w
5. To get the bb version type at+xgendata

Anyone want to try this? I'm scared to do it on my phone. And I tried to find out what bootloader I have and have not been success. I installed minicom but I dont see the usr/ect folder when i ssh in

I have installed minicom and have succesfully checked my bootloader only to find out that it's 5.9 instead of 5.8.
could someone explain when it got updated to 5.9 from 5.8? is this something that comes along with firmware 2.2.1? or where does the change occur? what updated it to this latest version?
I last restored to 2.2.1 on the 17th of march this year.
Help?
