Sorry to be blunt, but you don't have a clue what you're talking about. Goods that are supplied in the course of a service come under the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982. A good example is a kitchen fitter, whereby the fitter is liable for any goods supplied and installed by him into the kitchen. The same principle applies to a mobile phone contract because the goods are clearly provided for use with the service and are simultaneously marketed with interdependent prices.

Instead of arguing about it in this thread, ask a solicitor. I've done so; you should too.

If you are right, I am sure you will be able to send a link from a good website showing what you are saying.
May be your solicitor have a website.

I've already posted several links to the relevant parts of the legislation concerned. Read it. Please ask a legal professional before posting further misinformation here.

Nope Apple are still signing 4.1 for 3GS it can be downgraded. Here is another way of doing it. Also applied to iOS5

http://www.beijingiphonerepair.com/hack/downgrade-iphone-3gs-on-ios-4-3-4-or-ios-4-3-5-to-ios-4-1-without-shsh-blobs-for-untethered-jailbreak/

If Apple are still signing 4.1 for 3GS, why did I get the following message when I tried to go back to 5?-

Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported.

How do I put it back to 5?

Also. It's a hardware fault. Jailbreaking isn't going to achieve anything other than removing any legal case I may have had. If it's not already gone.

Hardware fault codes do not always mean the hardware is faulty (strange but true) it could be caused by a corrupt install of an IOS update. 1 things to try to restore the phone to IOS 5, is to edit your host file, which on xp is here:

C-Windows -System32 -Drivers-Etc-Hosts

Open it with wordpad, and search for gs.apple.com if its there delete it and save the file, restart your PC and try the restore again,

Let me know if you get any error messages after doing this

EDIT

This appears to be the instructions of how to edit the host file on a mac, but cant confirm as i dont use a mac

Just hit restore, You get that error probably bacause it might need to be in DFU mode, but just hit restore and go back to 5.

I tried that and got this-

"The iPhone could not be restored. This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

1. Remove iTues and restart the computer, install iTues from the Apple website
2. Put your iphone in DFU mode:
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected

When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black
Even though the screen is black, that doesn’t mean the device can’t be interfaced with either iTunes or a custom firmware client (for jailbreaking, etc).
Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode. Again, DFU mode is signified by having a completely black screen on the device. If anything else is the case, repeat the steps above until you enter into DFU mode successfully.
3. Restore now.


If you are still having problem try this below:

1. There’s an entry in your host file redirecting Apple traffic to another location.

As a quick test on the machine where you’re trying to do a restore put the following into a web browser http://gs.apple.com If an Apple 404 page (page not found) is displayed then you should be good to restore and therefore you should re-download the required firmware, reboot both your computer and the iPhone and try again. If an index page is displayed (like displayed below) then it means you’ve got entries in your host file you need to remove.

The process for removal on Mac and Windows machines is slightly different but we’ve detailed them below:
Mac OS X
1. On your Mac, open your Applications folder.
2. Navigate to the Utilities folder.
3. Open Terminal.
4. Type “sudo nano /etc/hosts” (without quotes) and press enter.
5. Enter your password
6. Use the down arrow key to find the gs.apple.com entries. Once the cursor is in front, make sure you comment out the line(s) by entering # in front of the text.
7. Save the file by pressing CONTROL+O.
8. Exit the nano editor by pressing CONTROL+X.
9. Restore your iDevice.
Windows
1. Press Start, then Programs, then Accessories
2. Launch Notepad or WordPad
3. Click Open from File menu.
4. Browse to Windows/System32/drivers/etc
5. In “files of type:” select all documents
6. Open “hosts”
7. Delete all line that have gs.apple.com or similar
8. Hit Save
9. Restore your device
You should now be sorted and up and running! Please feel free to share your experiences in the comments section below.

Hi. I tried this and got the message 'The iPhone "iPhone" cannot be restored at this time because the iPhone software update server could not be contacted or is temporarily available'

I already tried using Tiny Umbrella to go back to iOS5
