Downgrade iPhone Baseband 04.12.01 to 04.11.08 [How To Guide]
This guide is for those people who accidentally updated their iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1 and lost their unlocks via Gevey SIM unlock solution. There is good and bad news. There’s no iPhone 4 unlock for 04.12.01 baseband but there’s a way out. iOS 4.3.5 the last of iOS 4-x series, is still supported by Apple. That means that you can downgrade to 04.10.01 which can be easily unlocked by Gevey SIM.
Notice: before you start the downgrading process make sure that you have your SHSH blobs saved locally or on Saurik’s Cydia servers.
Now it’s time to perform baseband downgrade 04.12.01 to 04.11.08, 04.10.01, 01.59.00 on your iPhone.
Downgrade Step 1: Frist of all, you need a restore copy of iOS 4.3.5 which you can download here.
Downgrade Step 2: Make sure that your hosts file redirects Apple’s requests to Saurik’s server. Or you can use TinyUmbrella to make iTunes send requests to Cydia’s server by going to the Advanced options.
Downgrade Step 3: Now Turn OFF your device and plug it in to the computer.
Downgrade Step 4: Put your device into DFU mode: Press power button for 2 seconds. Hold down both the Power and Home buttons together for 10 seconds. Release the Power button but keep holding the Home button for 10 more seconds. If your screen is black, you’re in DFU mode. If an iTunes logo is displayed, you’re in Restore Mode: just try the steps above a few more times, sometimes it doesn’t go well on the first try.
Downgrade Step 5: Now manually select firmware from iTunes in restore window. For doing that press Shift and Restore on Windows and Option + Restore on Mac.
Now iTunes will send data to Saurik’s servers instead of Apple’s. Haha.
With help of this tutorial you should successfully downgrade from iOS 5.1 to iOS 4.3.5 and downgrade iPhone 4 baseband 04.12.01 to 04.11.08, 04.10.01 and 01.59.00. Now you’re able to use Gevey SIM unlock again. If you want to use iOS 5 on your iPhone and keep Gevey SIM unlock check our Unlock iPhone 4 using Gevey Sim on iOS 5 guide.

Bypassing the Overlord
To this end, I have constructed a server that duplicates the functionality exposed by Apple's signature server, except using "on file" results rather than live requests.
All we need, then, is to make iTunes use it. Luckily, most operating systems also have the ability to locally define bypasses on specific hostnames through a file called hosts. Using this, we can redirect requests to Apple's signature server to Cydia.
So, open the file C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts (Windows) or /etc/hosts (Mac OS X) and add the following entry to the bottom of the file.
74.208.10.249 gs.apple.com
Now, when iTunes thinks it is talking to Apple, it is talking to Cydia instead. Doing this will allow iTunes to access signatures already stored by Cydia's "on file" feature.
This server will also act as a cache for any SHSH blobs it hasn't seen, acting as an intermediary to Apple's server. This effectively registers your device with the "on file" mechanism, which means you can now enjoy the protections of being able to downgrade your firmware in the future even if you aren't jailbroken.
bb 04.12.01 is not changed after downgrade to ios 4.3.5 iphone4
