If you're one of the folks who just can't resist updating your iPhone when a new version is available, you may be stuck in the same boat as a lot of other people who updated to 1.1.3 and realized that jiggly icons aren't as great as third party ones. Thankfully our pal Mark over at Hack that Phone has come up with a solution that not only downgrades your iPhone but restores phone functionality as well. The process is a little involved, but it's doable if you're motivated. If you get stuck, you can always summon the help of someone in our forums.

i got that alot but if u make sure the iphone is fully dead, i mean that if u press the top button it wont even turn on, then u hook up the phone to itunes and imediatly press and hold the power then the menu it will go into recovery mode and go from there..

I havent been able to get that method to work after many tries because iBrickr creates a reboot looping issue when trying to get the springboard back up. I've tried iFuntastic and installer.app as well, none are able to get an iphone that had been 1.1.3 and taken back to 1.0.2-1.1.1 to reactivate.

I'm stuck with giggly icons, dammit.

Wat!!
