Here are the steps:

  1. Download pHaseBanDowngrader.
  2. Install SSH from Cydia and connect to your iPhone
  3. Copy the downloaded folder (phasebandowngrader) into the folder “/Applications” on your iPhone. Make sure that the folder name “phasebandowngrader” is in lowercase.
  4. Install MobileTerminal from Cydia.
  5. Open MobileTerminal and type “login”. The user is “root” and password is “alpine” by default.
  6. Then type: “cd /Applications/phasebandowngrader/”, then, to run the downgrader, type “./phasebandowngrader”
