How to Downgrade 3Gs running iPad BB.

To Downgrade, You must make sure that your iPhone is running 06.15 baseband or modem firmware.

Note: If your iPhone 3Gs have 3rd, 4th and 5th digit of serial number is 134 or higher (ie: xxx134...) then DON'T UPGRADE TO IPAD BASEBAND (06.15) or else you'll BRICK your Device.

To Check go to Settings > General > About and scroll down to check serial number.

Steps for Downgrading.

Step 1: Download Redsn0w from the above links, Extract Redsn0w using Winrar. Run Redsn0w

Step 2: Go to Extras tab, Click on Select IPSW and select the IPSW you are running.

(For example, If I'm running iOS 5.1.1, then Download 5.1.1 IPSW from the link above and select) If you already have IPSW then you don't need to download, just use that IPSW.

Step 3: Now Select your Bootrom. Yes, if you have New Bootrom and No, if you have Old bootrom.

If you don't know which bootrom you have then Here is a simple way to Check. Go to Settings > General > About, Now scroll down to see your device's Serial number. If 4th and 5th digit of serial number is more than 50 then you have a New bootrom and if it's 44 or less than 44 than you have an Old bootrom. Bootrom's of iPhone's with 4th and 5th digit between 45 to 49 varies. (eg: xx952...., Here it means that the iPhone was manufactured in 2009, 52nd week)

How to Take HDR Photos on iPhone 3Gs

08:06 Unknown 0

With iOS 4, Apple added HDR photo taking capability in iPhone's camera app. But this feature was only for iPhone 4, iPhone 3G and 3Gs was not given this feature, even knowing that iPhone 3Gs hardware is capable of taking HDR photos.

People expected that Apple will include HDR feature for 3Gs in future updates. But even after the release of iOS 5, there was no sign of HDR in iPhone 3GS camera. My Cydia tweaks likeHDR camera enabler, HDREnabler etc. were released which can enable HDR on 3Gs, But none of them worked.

Today I'll show you 'How you can take HDR photos on iPhone 3Gs.' We'll be using third party apps and if you're Jailbroken then you can download them for Free from the below links.

What is HDR?

HDR Stands for High Dynamic Range, A high dynamic range image combines a series of photographs (usually 3 photos), each shot at a different exposure. The first photo is shot underexposed (Dark), Second with perfect expose and Third Overexposed (Light). Then All three photos are merged into one, This brings out more details.

Below is an Example of HDR Photography (The photos below were shot by professionals with their equipment)

Can you see How detailed are the photos, We can see Cloud details, Ground details etc. Which is impossible to get in a photo with same exposure. HDR combines 3 photos with different exposures and then we have a very detailed picture.

iPhone's inbuilt HDR feature.

If you have an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, then you can simply use the inbuilt HDR mode in Camera app.
