I have removed the firmware 313 spoofer from Cydia and instead placed a firmware 313 spoofer *app* into Cydia. This time, rather than rely on cydia to copy the files, I have an app that will let you load it and toggle the firmware from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3. Note that it does require a reboot after toggling in order for this to take effect. In hindsight, having Cydia copy the files was a bad idea because it seems Cydia has crashed on some installs or the scripts have not completed for some reason causing problems on uninstall. The new app will solve that as it removes all the scripts from cydia.
The app still just edits the file at /System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist, which you can manually edit if you so choose.
If you installed the previous version of firmware spoofer, I suggest you do not remove it (ever) as there was a bug in the uninstall script that could remove your firmware plist. Just use this new app instead to select which firmware you want. Selecting 3.1.2 and rebooting is equivalent to uninstalling the old tweak
App is basic but functional:
And some quick comments to some questions I keep getting:
1) No, this does not actually update your firmware to 3.1.3
2) No this does not impact tethering tweaks or other tweaks. It just changes the *reported* firmware version
3) No this does not break your unlock or cause “no service”
Remember that you have to reboot for this to take effect even though the settings app shows the version change immediately.
Final note: if you want this to remain permanent you can uninstall the app after selecting the firmware so you don’t have to have the icon. The last firmware you have chosen will remain. If you wish to change it later you can always reinstall the app and change it again.

Does having the previous 3.1.3 spoofer have any effect on the performance of the phone? I want to remove it because I don’t want it to use up resources but I don’t because I don’t want my .plist erased. Could you just release an update to the spoofer tweak so people who already have it could uninstall it please?
March 10th, 2010 at 9:22 pm
I agree, mine is working fine but I do not want any problems in the future. Question??? If I use itunes to restore the previous firmware will it work?
March 10th, 2010 at 9:32 pm
ME too & agree with upper user….pls upgrade the previous firmware 3.1.3 also for the no problems users….it is because I’m not a pro user to change any setting with openssh….winscp…etc…Thank You …
March 10th, 2010 at 10:01 pm
I installed this on my 3.1.2 Iphone 3GS, and rebooted it 2x after it was installed. Itunes still prompts me to download and upgrade 3.1.2.
Am I missing a step?
March 10th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
Hey Jason, to be on the safe side I wanted to remove this app. I have an iphone 3gs 16. I installed the new app, and it deleted my tethering too, it rebooted. I opened the new app and chose 3.1.2 then rebooted again. I went into cydia and unistalled the bad 3.1.3-went back while I was in 3.1.2 and got tethering back, then went back to app and updated to 3.1.3. Still have to check if everything works but so far so good.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
You guys wont have problems in the future and it does not use resources. It just changes a text file. It does not install a process, enable anything, or use up any memory.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Yes. You skipped the step where you load the app and select 3.1.3.
March 10th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
So… I was on firmware 3.1.2 and clicked the “3.1.3″ button in this app. Upon reboot, my iPhone 2G is stuck on the Apple logo perpetually. Halpz plz?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:16 am
Changing this text file alone or even deleting it entirely (which is about the worst thing you can do) should not be able to cause the device to not boot.
Will need more data I suppose. Have you held power and home and reset it? Have you waited at least 5 minutes for it to boot?
Does your SSH connect during the boot cycle?
March 11th, 2010 at 12:40 am
If you have the prior version – like BigBoss said -do not uninstall it. The phone ends up seriously borked, and without that plist, iTunes doesn’t know what to do. You can’t sync, Bluetooth is gone, all sorts of springboard crashes. It’s ugly.
Oh, and the best part is iTunes will only restore you to 3.1.3 – oh well. Learned the hard way on this one. Won’t be the last one either…
March 11th, 2010 at 1:01 am
thank you so much…keep in mind….thx
March 11th, 2010 at 1:10 am
but I don’t have any problems about firmware 3.1.3…I just follow the steps by steps….so Am I need to do your process……
March 11th, 2010 at 2:46 am
But you can still load cydia, install this app after, run it, and fix the problem without restoring.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:22 am
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
March 11th, 2010 at 6:16 am
If you uninstalled the prior version like I did and lost your systemversion.plist just install sosiphone repo in cydia and install Fake 3.1.3. It actually installs a new systemversion.plist so you can use this new firmware switcher app from bigg boss.
March 11th, 2010 at 6:20 am
Thanks for the fix sir! I was going to be re restoring my phone today but as always you have come to the rescue. I installed your new app and let it overright a new systemversion.plist for 3.1.2 on top of the one I had made, now everything works like it should. Thanks again
March 11th, 2010 at 8:38 am
Thanks BigBoss. Works like a champ.
Installed, changed to 3.1.3, rebooted the. uninstalled the app.
Tethering works fine, push works fine.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:56 am
Ok.. how about a little assist for those of us who uninstalled ‘before’ the warning not to? :) I’m without service now… yikes…
I also can’t seem to run Cydia (launches and then crashes back). I’ve reinstalled via apt-get and it looks fine but whatever nastiness the uninstall did is persisting.
Any thoughts or at least a little more detail on what it did wrong so I can try to fix it up?
My SystemVersion.plist looks ok but I can’t get signal now?
March 11th, 2010 at 10:05 am
My phone works good and have no problems. Everything works. My tethering still asked to be deleted though because it is 3.1.2. So if I see a new app I want in cydia it is a long process because if I chose to install cydia will automatically delete “enable tethering for 3gs”. I will have to go back to 3.1.2 and get it back then reboot to get 3.1.3 back. Kinda annoying
March 11th, 2010 at 10:27 am
I got the new 3.1.3 app and it does give me problems with the tethering. It works fine but when I want to get a new tweak, app, or whatever from cydia I have to delete the tethering because it is for 3.1.2.
March 11th, 2010 at 10:49 am
Its not on cydia!! how to revert back to 3.1.2 plist? its not there. can ones do manual plist?
March 11th, 2010 at 11:37 am
Read my post
March 11th, 2010 at 11:43 am
well for those who uninstalled before warning just do that – install Fake 3.1.3 from sosiphone. dont reboot, now ssh to System/Library/CoreServices/SystemVersion.plist created by sos, copy that plist to lets say another directory and save it. Now go to cydia and uninstall fake 3.1.3. Go to directory you saved plist, open it with ifile and change back to 3.1.2 and 7D11
March 11th, 2010 at 11:58 am
I actually tried this and have the SystemVersion.plist looking and working fine (according to the about screen on the iPhone). I can’t get signal anymore though and Cydia is borked (but Icy and Apt are generally ok). Forget Cydia – I’ll get that sorted out eventually but this no signal thing is a bitch!
March 11th, 2010 at 2:33 pm
Hi, the issue I have is a bit different: I installed the last version this evening, and when I came back to the springboard I had lost 80% of my apps. There are still on my iPhone, nothing was deleted. I installed category and apps show up as question marks. What should I do?
March 11th, 2010 at 3:15 pm
Some more informations on my case: I’m now on 3.1.3 through Boss app, I also downloaded Fake 3.1.3.
But nothing changes the fact that I lost 80% of my aps. I can see the missing ones in BossPrefs, they are not hided. As I said they appeared in an app like “Categories” as question marks. I can see the app folders through iPhone browser: apps are still there it’s just the icons who don’t show up on springboard.
I tried to go back to 3.1.2, but nothing changes: I’m fucked. Unless you can help me! Please :)))
March 11th, 2010 at 3:21 pm
Sorry I just realized one last thing important: only apps missing are from the app store, cydia apps and web clips are still there.
March 11th, 2010 at 3:38 pm
Just re download the AppStore apps
March 11th, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Thank you… but won’t it create doublons on my iPhone? I have 2,5Go of apps and that are still there somewhere. I’m redownloading Street Fighter IV right now and it looks like I will have it twice in the end. What worries me the most is apps such as Momento, on which I have written tons of text. If I have to manually delete redundant apps, I will need some help not to mess things up…
March 11th, 2010 at 4:18 pm
So I downloaded SFI4 which is a big app to see what would happen, and it does redownload it somewhere on my iPhone, whereas the original app still exists. So I need another solution, ideally to retrieve all my original apps. I browsed the web and found some tips such as:
-Reset all settings in the options -activate/disactivate restrictions
-synchronize with iTunes
None of this worked. I have a back up of applications in iTunes but it’s very old and most of my aps and associated content (ie notes in Momento) were not backed up…
March 11th, 2010 at 4:26 pm
Seriously, I appreciate all youur work but how on earth could the initial version pass any sort of QA…?
March 11th, 2010 at 5:55 pm
What about in the future if I restore to the next firmware and rejailbreak. Is it possible I’ll have problems with my phone then?
March 11th, 2010 at 6:21 pm
Thanks, this really works but I can’t remove the icon. I set the firmware to 3.1.3 in the app and then removed the app from Cydia, but still the icon shows on my springboard. What have I done wrong?
March 11th, 2010 at 8:38 pm
No need for the sos iphone step. You could have either reinstalled the thing you removed or install this tool and run it.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
This is unrelated to this app. Your app cache got hosed by cydia, rock, or whatever you were using. You need to rebuild it. Here is how:
1) Install something from cydia with an icon. That should put your cydia apps back on
2) Install something from appstore. That install should take a long time but after that, your appstore apps should be back.
March 11th, 2010 at 8:40 pm
That means the User portion of your app cache is hosed. My instructions above still apply, but you can skip the cydia step.
March 11th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
Thank you for the advice, though it didn’t work I installed few apps from app store and it didn’t repopulated my springboard with what is missing. Any other idea?
March 12th, 2010 at 2:53 am
Hi, redowloading apps don’t change anything. I received the .plist 3.1.2 file from Doru: he recommends to SSH the file to /System/Library/CoreServices and reboot. Do you confirm it’s safe to do that and that it may restore my apps?
(meanwhile I have backed up my critical app folders on my laptop through iPhoneBrowser).
March 12th, 2010 at 3:36 am
I installed .plist 3.1.2 file from Doru and it didn’t solve my problem.
When I redownload apps I owned from the app store, it goes in root/private/var/mobile/Applications, sitting next to previous apps I had…
This is bad, I think I tried everything now…
March 12th, 2010 at 3:42 am
Tinking out loud: couldn’t it be an issue with permissions?
March 12th, 2010 at 5:05 am
How come my ipod touch doesnt let me get the pogoplank theme?
March 12th, 2010 at 5:11 am
Big Boss insists that nothing the faker did caused my issues… He’s nice… so I’m not sure. Restore sorted things but I feel like I should have been able to solve it manually… :)
March 12th, 2010 at 6:14 am
Just a quick note to thank Doru, as my iPhone got its apps back. I added the .plist file, it din’t work so removed it and replaced my original file. And then it just worked :) Thanks again for your support, much appreciated.
March 12th, 2010 at 6:35 am
on the first app release that was done everything worked fine when i installed – but uninstalled it later because i didn’t think i really needed it – rebooted and all the apps on my phone would load for 5-10seconds then back out – couldn’t load rock – but was able to load cydia and reinstall it – everything back to normal
just an fyi
im sure this problem is fixed now

Hi,
I did the uninstall and lost the systemversion.plist. The problem is that I can access the device via SSH but cannot start Cydia to install Fake 3.1.3 to get the new systemversion.plist.
Anyone can upload the systemversion.plist so I can try to copy it to my 3GS that was using 3.1.2 ?
Thanks
March 12th, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Well I uninstalled your fake 3.1.3 and lost my systemversion. .plist so i had to get it back because your new faker thing doesn’t install a systemversion.plist and I couldn’t reinstall your first fake app because you removed it
March 14th, 2010 at 11:18 am
Don’t know why I did this. But I Dled this new one (didn’t have the previous version). I hit the spoof to 3.1.3 and I get the Apple logo, and it won’t go away no matter what I do. I can’t get to my home screen, I can’t do anything. I’ve plug my 3GS 32 GB into my computer, and it’s not even being recognized. I can’t believe I tried this trick, and now my phone is F*#ked.
Big Boss any thoughts on this? Or did it happen to anyone else?
I SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS #27 BASTICUS AND HE HAS NOT BEEN ANSWERED YET. THIS FUCKED A LOT OF PHONES IT SEEMS LIKE.
March 14th, 2010 at 11:26 am
How can I SSH into my phone if I don’t have wifi on, and can’t access it to see what my wifi address is to enter into SSH to access my phone? I can’t believe this program killed my phone.
March 14th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
Now I’m forced to update to the real 3.1.3 great, awesome thanks again.
March 14th, 2010 at 1:19 pm
I have the same problem. My phone is stuck at the pwnapple. I really don’t want to restore my phone from scratch.
How do I check if SSH works?
March 15th, 2010 at 5:35 am
Yeah it sure did screw alot of people, but it’s still apple’s fault. This ongoing battle for freedom. I used blackra1n to get into the phone because itunes wouldn’t allow a restore with the pwn 3.1.2 firmware at first but my phone is pwned at 3.1.2(from the-dev team). After blackra1n I restored in iTunes with the same pwn 3.1.2 firmware for the jailbreak and got cydia. Then I found blacksnow in cydia after adding the blackra1n source and was able to unlock again. Note to activate and get bars!!!! I had to follow instructions off the web and reset iTunes carrier log. It worked, it took only four hours this time instead of 8 or 12. I thought I was screwed. If you have updated over badeband 5.11.07 you are screwed for now to my knowledge. So I suggest boycott apple apps till they realize they will lose more money when peoples phones get locked up! I am smarter though when I am cruising and not mad with lock up, smarter for learning and achieving stuff I never would have. Thanks to cool genius people like you Bossman. Three of my cydia main sources fail to load at signing in but cydia works. I wondered cause one is Bossman’s, any ideas I will try to post the errors later. They might have worked out. :) peace.
March 15th, 2010 at 6:31 am
I uploaded the original SystemVersion.plist that I got from Doru and it totally worked! Thank God!!!
March 15th, 2010 at 6:54 am
This app cannot cause no signal. Your problem is unrelated
March 15th, 2010 at 6:57 am
It is not caused by this app, which is why restoring the plist didn’t help. It is not caused by permissions. It is caused by your appstore app cache being hosed. This happens sometimes using both cydia and rock. The solution is what I suggested. If that didnt do it alone then you will need to delete the app cache first and then install something from appstore. I’m away from my main computer so I cant tell you what to delete but if you email in I can explain it.
March 15th, 2010 at 7:02 am
If you need help from me, then email. I don’t read comments every day but I do read email every day.
March 15th, 2010 at 10:35 am
Anonymous is right, blame apple….not the boss.
March 15th, 2010 at 4:32 pm
Oooooooooh by the way – for some reason neither the first 3.1.3 patch or the new app listed above appears in my Cydia, otherwise I would’ve just installed that. Easy workaround if yours works!

March 15th, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Hey Bigboss,
Thanks for nothing…
You had great success in destroying my IPhone..
Keep the good work, Steve Jobs is really happy with you!
March 15th, 2010 at 6:12 pm
Where do I find this application? I have searched for it on Cydia – no joy. What is the name?

March 16th, 2010 at 12:28 am
Thanks handsfull, you know it
March 16th, 2010 at 12:47 am
One More. You need some schooling bad! Steve Jobs would take your bank and right arm and chuck you into the garbage you idiot! You will be lucky to have any service with Steve jobs AT&T choice. Big Boss helps us that are willing to learn how to use this little superphone to use more of it’s capabilities that steve jobs would drag out to get money for the next 5 years. One example is t-mobile had MMS with the iPhone long before AT&T promised along AT&T’s dropped calls constantly. You don’t get what you pay for as far as network and capabilities. Apple is a bit slow there and ego like a bit much. I can multitask like crazy on edge. So I would love to sit at a round table with this subject and you wouldn’t know what to say. You are either stupid or maybe wish you worked for Steve Jobs. Your comment was very lame. Donate to a few bucks to bossman if you have brains cause he is a friend of your digital rights, not to speak for him.
March 16th, 2010 at 3:29 am
I wrote a small How-To guide on here last night, above my other post. Still says waiting to be moderated, even though the 2nd post went through fine? I really think it could help, Big Boss! :)
T
March 16th, 2010 at 8:38 am
You know what- I reckon you could even make your own .plist file. Use a text editor to make a file called SystemVersion.plist, paste the script below into it and put it in /System/Library/CoreServices. Worth a try!
Here’s the original file in text:
ProductBuildVersion
7E18
ProductCopyright
1983-2010 Apple Inc.
ProductName
iPhone OS
ProductVersion
3.1.3
This is for a 3GS running 3.1.2, but spoofed to 3.1.3. This is the exact plist file I’m now running.
Only use this if you are actually running 3.1.2- as mentioned by BigBoss, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 are close enough to get away with spoofing.
Hope this helps!

March 16th, 2010 at 8:45 am
Ah nuts- I should’ve known the forum would hide the HTML tags! Here’s the script again- but I’ve added underscores to all the tags so they show up. REMOVE THESE if you use my method above!

Ummer- that post was an add-on to a much bigger post I wrote that for some reason needs moderating- I guess because of it’s size. If Cydia is still working for you, add http://cy.sosiphone.com/ into sources, then install their Fake 3.1.3 patch. FIXED!

****GUIDE ON HOW TO FIX THIS****
Hello there! I have a jailbroken 3GS on old-bootrom, jbed with Blackra1n. I installed the first 3.1.3 patch over Cydia a week or so ago – with no problems. I noticed tonight that my photobucket app ahd stopped working – it just crashes. After a App Store re-install – I wondered if the 3.1.1 patch was causing the problem, so I removed it using Cydia, and re-booted. Mobile-Substrate then crashed, amd again re-booted.
All kinds of problems from then on – the phone was running, but very slowly – everything was taking ages to load up, even the lockscreen. The version under Settings>General was listed as NA, bluetooth said “Not Available”, and it started crashing.
After reading this thread I used iFile to navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices, and noticed that the SystemVersion.plist was missing completely. Luckily Cydia was still working for me – so I added SOS iPhone: h@t@t@p://cy.sosiphone.com/ (REMOVE THE @s- I’ve only added them to get round this forums moderation script!) into Sources, found and ran their Fake 3.1.3 patch, which has re-added the SystemVersion.plist file. FIXED!
Now to tidy up:
Using iFile again, I zipped up the file into a ZIP file in the same directory (made a copy, in other words), then went back into Cydia and un-installed the Fake 3.1.3 Patch from SOSiphone.
Now back into iFile for a final time – to unzip the copied .plist file and put it back in its rightful place.
This seems to have worked for me – the phone is back to normal, and I hope this little guide helps anyone else stuck in the same position!
Scary to think that a minor text file (feel free to read it in iFile – it’s very small!) could cause so much trouble!

Yay! I managed to post my How-To guide above without it needing to be moderated- as mentioned above, Remove the @s I put in the SOS iPhone Source.
Note to Big Boss- SORRY for clogging up this thread with lots of posts needing to be moderated- I realise now it’s because they contained a URL, so the forum blocks them in case it’s spam. Hopefully my posts help you guys out.. I was panicking until I figured out it’s quite an easy fix if Cydia still works. :)

after i install firmware, my space was shown used by “other” as 78.9%, whenever, i deleted some files and restarted it kept on eating my space. So i uninstalled it. I got my space back but there is no firmware version shown. So i cant install no programs. How can i get my firmware version back. I had 3.1.2. I tried to restore it thru itunes but it won’t let me install 3.1.2. Any ideas?

Taylor, yeah I did. And this Proswitcher issue’s been going on for two days – before the SOSiPhone installation :(
March 18th, 2010 at 8:22 am
Hey Boss,
Just to let you know that it has been a pleasure to use the 3.1.3 firmware unjailbroken. I had forgot how good it was the old days.
Thank you.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:52 pm
It’s funny I was the one who told everyone about the SOS fix but Taylor gets all the credit
March 18th, 2010 at 6:20 pm
I’m sorry, Pat. I didn’t know. Thank you.
March 18th, 2010 at 6:43 pm
Im stating to enjoy the 3.1.3 unjailbroken firmware… Anyone shares the same opinion?

Hello. One question? Would the problem be solved by using the faker from sosiphone then using the fwchanger then unistalling the faker?

March 25th, 2010 at 10:20 pm
so is the 3.13 app working okay? I’m getting confused from the number of mixed comments here.
April 7th, 2010 at 4:35 am
please put fwchanger back.
April 11th, 2010 at 7:36 am
Installing the 3.13 app has bricked my 2g. After installing it through big boss through cydia my iphone will not reboot to a home screen. It just shows the apple logo. Any advice on how to get it back to how it was before? Also, how can I get it into dfu mode when the home and power sequence doesn’t work after installing this app?
May 1st, 2010 at 8:22 pm
just installed the app, chose the 3.13 and then the reboot button and now I can’t get the phone to start up. 3gs, stays with the apple logo for short time then just shuts off.
May 7th, 2010 at 4:27 pm
i have the same problem, iphone stays with the apple logo.
i cannot recover my iphone3g to 3.1.3 because my iphone is unlocked. you can only jailbreak 3.1.3 and not unlock 3.1.3
what can i do no, has someone a solution
May 8th, 2010 at 8:55 am
i installed the spoof for 3.1.3 on my 3.1.2 ipod … it won’t start anymore now. it shows the apple logo for a few seconds and then gets turned off forever. what should i do?
May 10th, 2010 at 8:59 pm
yes the original setting will be sync back to orginal form
May 18th, 2010 at 5:25 am

May 18th, 2010 at 9:01 am
I have a 1st Generation Ipod touch on firmware version 3.1.2 and i installed 3.1.3 spoofer opened the app and pressed on 3.1.3 and pressed reboot and now my ipod touch won’t turn on either it just stays with the apple logo for a few seconds and then shuts back off i’ve tried connecting it to my computer but itunes nor blackra1n won’t pick it up because it won’t turn on so what happened is it fried or something someone please help!!
June 16th, 2010 at 1:03 pm
That wat u get
June 25th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
You can also just make a copy of the file and put in on your PC. After you reinstalled the patch you can put it right back on your iphone!
(atleast, this is what ive done so far. And so far, so good!)
August 24th, 2010 at 10:32 am

I want to stay on 3.1.2 but spoof the phone to 3.1.3 but I cannot find the apps anymore.
fwchanger and firmware 3.1.3 are missing. Anybody know why, or another app that I can use to accomplish this?
September 12th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
@whatever
searh for “sosiphone” french repo in cydia. Once installed. Search for fake 3.1.3 – it shoudl be there.
Install (Cydia might crash/close) reboot phone and u on the 3.1.3
Hope it helps
February 1st, 2011 at 7:42 am
sosiphone worked. might have to add repo: cy.sosiphone.com though (i had to).
thanks…
bigboss has removed this from his own repo it seems.
May 11th, 2011 at 8:36 pm
Wondering if there is a replacement for this yet, or is it gone for good? If there is, what’s it called. If there isn’t a bigboss app, is there another app option to toggle from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3?
August 25th, 2011 at 1:21 am
So I installed the app from cydia, and ran it. On the screen, i pressed the 3.1.3 button (my OS is 3.1.2) and then i pressed the reboot button. Then i pressed it again. And then again. For some reason, it wouldn’t reboot on pressing the button. So i pressed the home and power button to reboot. Upon returning to the app, i noticed that nothing had changed.
How do I fix this?
