There are two ways of doing so:
1. Launch Cydia, and if you see something like this on Cydia homepage, “this device has SHSHs on file for iPhone OS: 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3” (Note: 3.0, 3.1, 3.1.2, 3.1.3 are the SHSH file saved for different firmware, its OK even if you have the last SHSH on file), then you do not required to do anything.
2. If such message is not displayed then tap on the “make my life easier” button on Cydia homepage. This will save the current SHSH on file on Saurik’s server, and now you can see that message on top of Cydia homepage.
After saving SHSH on file, you can follow these steps to downgrade the firmware:
1. Go to C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts on Windows or /etc/hosts on Mac.
2. Edit host file and add 74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com.
3. Put iDevice in DFU mode.
3.1 Connect iDevice to computer.
3.2 Turn off iDevice.
3.3 Hold power button and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds.
3.4 Release power button, but not home button.
A USB device will get recognized, and iTunes will detect the iDevice.
NOTE: If you see the restore logo on the screen then your iDevice is in recovery mode and not in DFU.
